Hilton Honors does an amazing job with its global promotions. The program constantly runs bonus offers, meaning that points earning rates are typically excellent. Hilton Honors’ previous promotion expired yesterday (May 1), and the program’s new global promotion has launched as of today (May 2), so I wanted to recap all the details.
In this post:
Hilton Honors Double Points Promotion details
Hilton Honors’ new global promotion is called Double Points Promotion, and with this offer, members are able to earn (you guessed it!) double points on every stay during the promotion period.
There are some details to be aware of:
- The promotion is valid for stays between May 2 and September 2, 2024 (you must check-out by September 2 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
- 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 for this promotion, though only incidentals would earn double points (since you don’t otherwise earn points for award stays)

How generous is Hilton Honors’ promotion?
How generous is Hilton Honors’ newly launched global promotion? For context, personally I value Hilton Honors points at 0.5 cents each. Under normal circumstances:
- Hilton Honors members 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 on eligible Hilton purchases:
- 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
With the Double Points Promotion, you’re earning 10x bonus points per dollar spent at most brands. By my valuation, that’s an incremental 5% return on Hilton spending. That’s a potentially solid offer, and a Hilton Honors Diamond member paying with the Hilton Aspire Card would be earning 44x Honors points per dollar spent.
The information and associated card details on this page for the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card has been collected independently by OMAAT and has not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
Bottom line
Hilton Honors has just launched its new global promotion, valid for stays between May 2 and September 2, 2024. This offers double points on stays, which is an opportunity to earn an incremental 10x points per dollar spent. If you haven’t yet registered for this offer, make sure you do.
Hilton Honors continues to have great points earning rates. Hilton Honors’ consistent 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 global promotion?
I just checked out from one of Waldorf Astoria hotels in the ME for the stay of May 1-2 (one night), and to my surprise, found that this promo is applied to the stay. :p

Is this a great promotion for Hilton compared to their previous promotions
