UPDATE – DECEMBER 2021:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.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.

Last week we wrote about a new Hilton Honors mini-promotion which offers you 7,500 bonus Hilton Honors points from your next two stays before the end of January 2020.

There was a catch – overnight, between our article being written and the article going live, something happened and existing members were unable to register.

This has now been changed.  Existing members can now register – I did it on Friday for my wife and I:

Hilton 7500 bonus points

You can register here.

You will receive:

2,500 Hilton Honors points with your next stay before 31 January 2020

5,000 Hilton Honors points with your 2nd stay before 31 January 2020

This is a slightly odd promotion.  Hilton is openly advertising it on social media.  And yet, the small print says that you should have received an invitation by email in order to register …..

I would register regardless.  The worst that can happen is that you don’t get the points, although – once registered – it will show up under your list of active promotions under ‘My Offers’ as you can see from my account (click to enlarge):

Hilton My Offers

People who registered last week, before registration stopped working, HAVE been receiving the points on stays in the last few days.

I value a Hilton Honors point at 0.33p, so you are looking at £25-worth of bonus points across your next two stays.  This is on top of your standard base points and the current ‘double points’ bonus, which makes the whole thing pretty lucrative.

The link to register your Hilton Honors account for the 7,500 bonus points is here.


How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards

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).

    I’m much more intrigued by the other promotion on your account – 21,000 points for Garden Inn Heathrow. Can you offer us some insight into this particular one?

    • Spaghetti Town says:

      Existing bookings will count i presume?

    • Rob says:

      It actually says ‘Hilton Terminal 2’ 1,000 points offer 🙂 No idea how it got on my account but I DID get 1,000 extra points when I stayed there.

      I am guessing they added it after I originally booked, potentially to encourage me to rebook it on future stays.

      • Brian W says:

        When I stayed at the Doubletree Forest Pines resort not long after it joined the Hilton portfolio at the end of last year I had the same 1,000 offer added without me doing anything.

        I think you’re right, it’s added by the hotel to encourage you to return to that specific new hotel.

  • TG says:

    Yes, I had confirmation that the offer is on my account but I can’t see it…..
    I’ve made two bookings and I guess the points are applied after the actual stay?

  • Oh! Matron! says:

    Have just had this post for a stay at the HGI HX, which was NOT booked via the app.
