Hilton HHonors has launched its Autumn promotion – ‘Triple Your Trip’.

If the name sounds familiar, it is because Hilton ran the same promotion last year.

It is a very simple one:

The promotion runs from September 1st to December 31st

You earn triple base points for every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night

You earn double base points for every Monday – Thursday night

ALL Hilton Group hotels, including Conrad, Waldorf-Astoria, Hampton etc, are taking part (for once!)

You MUST register in advance via this link

One benefit that this promotion has over the competing Marriott MegaBonus offer (which I will cover tomorrow) is that EVERY stay counts. The Marriott ‘double points’ offer, which is what most people were offered, only kicks in on your second stay. The Hilton promotion also starts two weeks earlier.

Some people report being offered an extra bonus after registration. My wife did not get offered anything, but I received this message:

“In addition to earning Double Points Monday-Thursday nights and Triple Points Friday, Saturday & Sunday nights, you’re eligible to receive 4,000 Bonus Points on your 4^th stay during the Triple Your Trip Promotion.”

It is highly unlikely that I will do four Hilton stays before the year end, but I appreciate the gesture.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (December 2021)

There are various ways of earning Hilton Honors points from UK credit cards. Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses.

Do you know that holders of The Platinum Card from American Express receive FREE Hilton Honors Gold status for as long as they hold the card? It also comes with Marriott Bonvoy Gold, Radisson Rewards Gold and MeliaRewards Gold status. We reviewed American Express Platinum in detail here and you can apply here.

Did you know that the Virgin Atlantic credit cards are a great way of earning Hilton Honors points? Two Virgin Points can be converted into three Hilton Honors points. The Virgin Atlantic cards are the only Visa or Mastercard products in the UK which can indirectly earn Hilton Honors points. You can apply here.

You can also earn Hilton Honors points indirectly with American Express Gold (20,000 bonus points), the American Express Rewards Credit Card (5,000 bonus points) and – for small business owners – American Express Business Gold (20,000 bonus points) and Business Platinum (40,000 bonus points).

  2,000 Bonus Points on your 1st stay during the Triple Your Trip Promotion.

I was also offered an extra 2,000 on my first stay.

I’m Diamond, but only by virtue of being BA GGL, I typically only do about two – four one-night Hilton stays per year.

  I, too, was offered the 2K points.
  
  I have a two week stay in a Hilton property in the US inside the offer window already booked. Hope that counts.

Thanks for the tip off. Just registered and my ‘surprise’ was 2000 bonus points on my FIRST stay! Can’t beat it.
JQ says:

Also got the 2k on first stay. I’m not planning any paid stays – got 3 award stays booked to see if I can get Gold status via the recent offer. Wonder if they will give me the 2k on the first award stay. I got something similar last year.

Thanks, also got 2000 bonus on first stay. Got the first Sat night in Sept booked with the Amex travel £50 off promo from a while back, would be nice if I can get this to combine with it but I bet I won’t get any HH pts due to it being a third party booking…

To clarify please, can I expect to receive points for a stay paid for with points which I bought?
(I am expecting No).

  No, you won’t earn base points on award stays. It doesn’t matter how you acquired the points for the award. Award stays do count for status and sometimes you’ll get various point bonuses that are being offered (may require registration)

  FAQs say yes:
  
  If I already have a reservation, is it eligible for the promotion?
  Yes, as long as the member is registered for the promotion prior to check-out of the stay and the reservation is for an eligible stay. Regardless of when a reservation was booked, any registered guests with nights within the Promotion Period will receive the promotion bonus.

    sorry, missed that you had cashed in points, ignore me

  You do not get base points for any saty purchased with points. You might get the bonus if offered. Reason is during the recent 5K for each stay Hilton did give this to stays on points.

I got 4000 points on my 4th stay. Just had 2 paid stays last week.

  I’ve got the 4k after 4th stay one too. Had 8 stays in July and already have 6 booked for August so will pick up the bonus without any effort

  Same – 4000 after 4th stay. I tend to be in either a Hilton or a Doubletree every week for work so will definitely complete that
