You CAN stack Hilton’s ‘quadruple Avios’ with ‘2,000 bonus points per night’ offer

UPDATE – DECEMBER 2021:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above. 

Click here for our article on Hilton’s ‘Power Up’ promotion which runs until 31st December 2021. You can register for the offer by clicking here.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the new British Airways Executive Club and Hilton Honors mileage deal for the Spring.

At the time, it wasn’t clear if this would double up with the main Hilton Honors ‘2000 bonus points per night’ promotion.  I outlined the ‘2k Every Day’ deal in this article.

I now have enough evidence from readers to know that it does stack.

What does this mean in practice?

What this means is that the Avios promotion now looks well worth signing up for.

The BA / Hilton promotion can be found here if you want to register. It is valid for stays until 30th April.

These are your two choices:

Keep registered for ‘points and points’.  As well as your 10 Hilton Honors base points per $1, you will receive an additional 5 bonus points per $1

or

Change to ‘points and miles’ and set British Airways Executive Club as your mileage partner.  You will receive 1 mile per $1.

If you choose to register for the BA offer, you will receive:

double Avios on your second stay

triple Avios on your third stay

quadruple Avios on your fourth and subsequent stays

Irrespective, you will still receive 2,000 bonus Hilton points for every night as long as you have registered at this page of hilton.com.

Which option is better?

I tend to value a Hilton Honors point at around 0.33p, although I may revise this upwards when I have more experience of how the new redemption system is working in practice.

This means:

Under ‘points and points’, 5 bonus Hilton points is worth 1.66p per $1 spent.

Under ‘points and miles’, 1 Avios per $1 is worth 1p per $1 spent (if you value an Avios point at 1p).  If you will do at least two Hilton stays before the end of April, and so earn 2-4 Avios per $1 as the multiplier kicks in, ‘points and miles’ is better.

Other things to note

There are two other points to note about the Avios offer:

There is a list of non-participating hotels, but the link to the list is dead

In theory, bookings under ‘quadruple Avios’ must be booked via www.honors.com/BAQ12017 – but that URL just loops back to the promo home page.  Readers are telling me that this is not true – they are getting the bonus Avios irrespective of how and when they booked.
