Hilton Honors does an amazing job with its global promotions. The loyalty program constantly offers global promotions without any sort of a gap. Hilton Honors’ newest promotion has just launched for stays as of today, and is exceptional.
In this post:
Hilton Honors More Nights, More Points promo
Hilton Honors’ new global promotion is called More Nights, More Points, and with this offer members can earn double points on all stays, and triple points on stays of three or more nights.
There are some more details to be aware of:
- The promotion is valid for stays between May 2 and September 5, 2022 (you must check-out by September 5 to be eligible)
- Registration is required prior to your first eligible stay, though it’s fine if you booked prior to registration
- There’s no limit to how many bonus points you can earn, you start earning rewards with the first stay, and there’s no minimum stay required to earn double points
- It can take up to six to eight weeks for bonus points to post, though they’ll typically post much faster than that
- You can earn bonus points for incidental spending even on award stays
- You can find promotion FAQs here
How generous is Hilton Honors’ new promo?
Hilton Honors’ new promotion is in line with the best offers we see from the program, and is exceptionally generous:
- This promotion offers an incremental 10x points per dollar spent on all stays, and an incremental 20x points per dollar spent on stays of three or more nights
- When all is said and done (as I’ll explain below), a Hilton Honors Diamond member paying with the Hilton Aspire Card could be earning up to 54x points per dollar spent
This promotion is on top of Hilton Honors’ standard points earning rates. As a reminder:
- Hilton Honors members ordinarily earn 10x Honors points per dollar spent at most brands
- Hilton Honors Gold members get an 80% points bonus, and Hilton Honors Diamond members get a 100% points bonus
On top of that, you can maximize your Hilton Honors points earned from hotel stays by paying with a co-branded Hilton American Express card. These cards earn points at the following rates at Hilton properties:
- Hilton Honors American Express Card (review) – 7x points per dollar
- Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card (review) – 12x points per dollar
- Hilton Honors American Express Business Card (review) – 12x points per dollar
- Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card (review) – 14x points per dollar
Personally I value Hilton Honors points at 0.5 cents each. To me this promotion offers a 5% incremental return on stays of up to two nights, and a 10% incremental return on stays of three or more nights.
If you’re like me and are a Hilton Honors Diamond member paying with the Hilton Aspire Card for a stay of three or more nights, you would be earning 54x points total, which I value at a 27% return on spending. That’s really great.
Bottom line
Hilton Honors has just launched its new summer promotion. With this, you can earn double points on all stays, and triple points on stays of three or more nights. If you’re a Hilton Honors Diamond member paying with the Hilton Aspire Card and staying at least three nights, you’re looking at earning 54x points per dollar spent.
Hilton Honors’ consistently excellent promotions really are a selling point of the program, as there’s not another hotel group that’s as generous as Hilton in this regard.
What do you make of Hilton Honors’ new summer promotion?
So if your an Amex Aspire card holder, and you staying at a Hilton property longer than 3 days, would you still get 54 points per dollar spent on hotel “incidentals” even if your entire stay was booked via award points? Because I’m hearing from some sources that it doesn't include incidentals on award stays, only on paid stays.
You get 54x on anything that is charged to your room and is part of your folio at checkout, even if it consists only of incidentals. That has always been true of Hilton promos.
The 2,500 pts per stay was great most of my stays were only 1 nt. 2X pts not as lucrative but I’ll take it.
It depends...
If one is an 'Aspire' Diamond, the 2x promo won't be as lucrative as the expiring 2.5k HH pts promo only if one's stays are short and cost at most $250 in total, otherwise there is no comparison to getting 2x...
In the absence of any bonus points on...

In the absence of any bonus points on hotel spend, which would be the case for the 2.5k promo, an Aspire Diamond earns 34x.
In the case of the 2x promo, an Aspire Diamond earns 44x.>/b>
Therefore,
a Diamond who spends $250 per stay during the 2.5K bonus promo will earn:
$250 * 34 + 2,500 = 11,000 HH points
a Diamond spends $250 er stay during the 2x promo will earn:
$250 * 44 = 11,000 HH points
i.e., they earn exactly the same number of points for the two promo.
For stays costing less $250, the 2.5k promo wins but the total number of points is relatively small (at most 11K), whereas for stays costing more than $250, which mine invariably do, the 2x promo wins.

@DCS do you or anyone else here have experience with a booking of one night paid and 2 nights using points-- would that be considered a two night or 3 night stay (they may be seen as 2 separate bookings, I believe)? thanks
Perfect timing for an upcoming business trip to Darwin. As a Gold, was looking forward to 18 points per $... Upping that to 38 points per $ will be amazing!
Ugh wish it ends one month later. I'm starting at conrad for a few weeks towards the latter part of Sept and oct.
Same. Lots of trips after September 5th...
Truly lucrative promo. Sign up!
At 3x, it means that Diamonds will be raking it in at a whopping 54x.
The Return On each Dollar (ROD) spent, with elite and co-brand CC bonus points included, will be:
54 * 0.5cpp (if one uses how much I and this site ‘nominally’ value a HH point) = 27%
It’s what makes HH unbeatable when it comes to earning and redeeming point…
G’day.
Except for those that dont have access t these co-branded credit cards
@DCS what’s your thoughts about Hilton’s summer promo
Heh, he told you 18 minutes later.
In a moment of agreement with DCS, I think it's times like these where Hilton outshines Hyatt. Hyatt's last promo was abysmal ("oh, wow. 2022 points! Too bad we're not going by the Hebrew year...) They haven't even announced the summer program but I'm sure it's going to be some crap like "stay 10 nights, earn 5k points. UNLIMITED POTENTIAL!"
Meanwhile I redeemed for 3 premium suite nights...

Meanwhile I redeemed for 3 premium suite nights at Andaz Singapore during peak/near-peak for like 125k points. Just a general terrible earning and spend ratio. Breakfast is nice, but it's table stakes now.
@Andrew
So are you a Hyatt night person
Or remain loyal to Hilton
@Jill, I'm a Hyatt person without a Hyatt Visa or Chase-rewards Visa.
So, Hyatt and miffed? :)
