Hilton Honors does an amazing job with its global promotions. The loyalty program constantly offers global promotions without any sort of a gap. While Hilton Honors’ current promotion runs through September 5, the hotel group has just revealed the promotion that will launch on September 6. Let’s go over the details of both the current and future promotion.
In this post:
Hilton Honors More Nights, More Points promo (current)
Hilton Honors’ current 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

Hilton Honors Double Your Stay promo (coming soon)
Hilton Honors’ upcoming global promotion is called Double Your Stay, and with this offer members can earn double points on all stays, and 2,000 bonus points per stay when you check-out on a weekday (Monday through Friday).
There are some more details to be aware of:
- The promotion is valid for stays between September 6 and December 31, 2022 (you must check-out by December 31 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 or 2,000 bonus points
- It can take up to six to eight weeks for bonus points to post, though they’ll typically post much faster than that
- Award stays are eligible, both for the 2,000 bonus points for weekday check-outs, plus for double points on any incidental spending

How generous are Hilton Honors’ promotions?
For context, personally I value Hilton Honors points at 0.5 cents each. Under normal circumstances:
- 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
So, what do these promotions bring to the table? Hilton Honors’ current 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, a Hilton Honors Diamond member paying with the Hilton Aspire Card could be earning up to 54x points per dollar spent, which I value at a 27% return on spending
Meanwhile Hilton Honors’ upcoming promotion isn’t quite as generous for those making longer revenue stays, but it is potentially more rewarding for those making shorter award stays:
- That promotion will offer an incremental 10x points per dollar spent on all stays
- For stays with weekday check-outs, you’ll earn an incremental 2,000 bonus points, which I value at a $10 return
- When all is said and done, a Hilton Honors Diamond member paying with the Hilton Aspire Card could be earning up to 44x points per dollar spent, which I value at a 22% return on spending, plus up to 2,000 bonus points per stay
Bottom line
Hilton Honors has just announced the details of its upcoming fall promotion. Starting September 6, you’ll be able to earn double points on all stays, plus 2,000 bonus points for stays with weekday check-outs. In the meantime, through September 5, you can continue earning double points on all stays, and triple points on stays of three or more nights.
Hilton Honors continues to have great points earning rates. Personally I prefer the current summer promotion, while those making short and/or award stays may prefer the fall promotion.
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’ upcoming fall promotion?

What’s your thoughts about this fall promotion with Hilton?
The current 3x promo is better than this next one, in my opinion. But, it's nice Hilton does one promotion after another. Meanwhile, it's just the sounds of crickets over at Marriott Bonvoy.
My impression is that Hilton has a different promotion each quarter. Sometimes it's triple points (current quarter). Sometimes it's double (next quarter). Sometimes it's X-points-for-2nd-night-and-later or something like that.
