Hilton Honors: 100% Bonus Points when you buy 5,000 or more points until June 7


One of the better hotel buy points bonuses is back again, although about a month later than when we saw it for springtime last year. With the 100% bonus you are buying at 1000 points for $5 or 0.5 cents per point. When you can easily pull out 0.8 cents per point for redeeming for an award night this is a good deal. Remember reward nights start out at only 5,000 points so you could essentially get 2 nights at the lowest level by only buying 5,000 points (+5,000 bonus) for only US$50.

Offer details: 
100% Bonus when you buy 5,000 or more Hilton Honors points online. Buy points here Until Jun 7, 18

Hilton Honors 2018 Program Changes - becomes stronger for elite members, eliminates Points+Miles, lower earn for base & Silver members


IHG Rewards Club is not the only hotel program with changes for 2018, Hilton announced a bunch of changes to the Honors program today.  All of the changes will take place from now until April save for one which launched late last year. The benefit launched late last year is complimentary Continental breakfast or a food and beverage credit as the new MyWay benefit at Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts for Gold and Diamond members.

Here is a summary of the changes that were listed in today's press release:
  • An Easier Way to Earn More Points
    Starting in April, Hilton will update how members earn Points making it easier for members to earn more Points on hotel stays. All members will continue to earn Points the way they always have, while enjoying new elite tier bonus rates for Silver (20 percent), Gold (80 percent) and Diamond (100 percent) members.
  • A Hilton Honors Exclusive: Unlimited Milestone Bonuses
    Hilton Honors members will earn 10,000 Bonus Points on every tenth night, once members reach at least 40 nights in a calendar year. It's not a limited time offer, no registration is required and there is no cap- the more members stay at Hilton, the more Points they earn. On top of that, for Diamond members, there is an additional bonus at 60 nights in one year - a 30,000 Bonus Points reward.
  • Elite Rollover Nights
    Starting this year, Silver, Gold and Diamond members can rollover qualifying nights earned beyond their current elite tier requirements to count towards their elite tier status the following year, making every night count.
  • Gifting Elite Status
    Members staying 60 or more nights in a calendar year will also have the ability to gift Gold status to their favorite travel partner. Stay 100+ nights and that gift gets upgraded to Diamond.
The first bullet is the major change to the program as it is an across the board change. What the press release didn't mention is the elimination of the Points+Points and Points+Miles earning option. What these were is the ability for members to choose to earn only Honors points on their Hilton stays or Honors Points and airline miles. With the first option members earned 15 points per dollar spend on stays and the second option was 10 points per dollar plus 1 airline mile per dollar spent plus any elite bonuses on the base 10 points amount. Come April the new earn will be as follows as it will take into account the first bullet
  • Base members: 10 points per dollar 
  • Silver members: 12 points per dollar
  • Gold members: 18 points per dollar
  • Diamond members: 20 points per dollar
What this translates to is Base and Silver members earning less points per dollar spend than in the old program while Gold and Diamond members will earn more. Bad news for those who don't stay too often with Hilton but good news for the high end elite status members. While this is not great news for the lower end members it is in fact doing what a loyalty program should be doing - rewarding loyalty.


The second bullet point tells us of the introduction of milestone bonuses. This bonus will award bonus points when you hit night milestones after you complete 40 nights. 10,000 points for every 10 nights and 30,000 bonus points for Diamond members who hit 60 nights in a year.

The third change introduces elite rollover nights for elite members. That is any nights after the re-qualification requirement will be rolled over to the next year. This is following in the footsteps of many other hotel programs that offer a similar benefit.

Finally the last change sees the ability to gift Gold Elite status to one person after you hit 60 nights.

Overall this is a pretty good announcement from Hilton Honors. Yes infrequent members will earn less now but for those with Gold or higher status the program just got that much more stronger for you. Remember that as a Canadian if you have or get yourself the Platinum Card from American Express you get automatic Hilton Honors Gold Status which puts you into that higher end echelon to earn more points and take advantage of those extra benefits like the complimentary breakfasts and more.

Hilton Honors - Double Points on all stays this summer (Triple for Diamond Members)


As the month of April wraps up so does the current systemwide Hilton Honors bonus of 2,000 bonus points per night. Good news is there is no gap between that offer and the start of Hilton's summer bonus. The summer bonus is double points on all stays Worldwide with all hotels participating. The bonus gets even better if you are a Diamond Elite member as you'll get Triple Points. This bonus is good for those more expensive stays compared to the flat 2,000 bonus points we over Spring but for those stays that don't cost much you'll earn less with the double points offer. Remember as well if you book via a mobile you can earn 500 more points.

Offer details
Double Honors Points on all eligible stays at any Hilton Hotels Worldwide. Diamond members will earn Triple Points. Full details, online registration and booking (Registration is required)  May 1 - Aug 31, 17

Hilton makes changes to the HHonors program - now spelled Honors, no more award categories, variable points+cash & more

Yesterday news broke that Hilton is making changes to their reward program. First off, the name gets a slight change, they are doing away with the second H in HHonors so the program is now known as Hilton Honors. Not big but definitely makes Auto Correct correct now. The other changes are more profound with award categories going the way of the dodo, fixed points+cash moving to variable points+cash, points pooling and several other changes.

Doing away with award categories
The Hilton Honors award chart we are all used to is going away. Rewards will be priced dynamically based on demand, cash rate for the room and more. Hilton claims that awards for standard rooms won't eclipse the maximum that was in the chart when these changes come into play later this month. Depending on when and what hotel you book you may actually pay less in points for that award night with the new dynamic pricing.

Current Award chart:
You can get an idea of what hotels will cost with this page on the Honors site.



Points and Money Redemptions
Similar to airline point and money redemption rather than other hotel points plus cash options, Hilton Honors will have a slider allowing you to redeem variable amounts of points and cash for a stay. This is really good for those who may not earn enough points with Hilton to redeem for a full night but want to get rid of a few thousand points that may be sitting in your account.


Points Pooling
You'll be able to share/pool points with up to 10 family members or friends. Now is the time to get everyone in your family signed up for E-Rewards surveys so you can redeem for HHonors points and them funnel them into one account!

Use Points at Amazon
You'll be able to use points to shop at Amazon.com. Not sure if it will work for us Canadians yet, presumably it will if that seller or product qualifies for shipping to Canada.

Diamond Status Extension
If you have held Diamond Status for three years and have 250 nights or have accumulated 500,000 points you can request a one-time no questions asked extension to your Diamond Status if you don't requalify.

Hilton Honors - 2,000 Bonus per night for all stays Worldwide until April 30


We gave you a heads up last week on the newest Hilton Honors promotion which has now gone live as of today. A simple 2,000 bonus points per night is a decent promo, for some of you the double points/triple points seen through most of 2016 was better but for those of you staying at the lower priced hotels this 2,000 bonus points per night may end up being more lucrative as it doesn't matter if you are spending $80 or $600 per night you get the same bonus. The bonus also pays out on award night stays as long as you have incidental spending on your folio.

Offer details
2,000 Bonus Honors Points per night on all eligible stays at any Hilton Hotels Worldwide. Full details, online registration and booking (Registration is required) Until Apr 30, 17

Preview of Hilton HHonor's next promotion - 2,000 bonus points per night Feb 1- Apr 30!

Hilton HHonors has sent out a preview of their next systemwide promotion and once again it is a true systemwide promotion as no hotels are excluded. Remember the days of Hilton's huge exclusion lists?? The current offer double/triple points for stays ends on January 31st and this offer will take off right on February 1st so there is no window of not being able to earn bonus points on your Hilton stays.

The offer is simple, 2,000 Bonus HHonors Points per night on all your Hilton stays. Simple as that. As long as the rate you book is eligible to earn HHonors points you'll get the bonus. So if you find some really cheap rates you can really rack up a great return but no matter what if you stay with the Hilton family a lot you're set to rack up a lot of points no matter what with this promotion. Especially so if you are a Points+Points earner in the program.

The registration link isn't available yet but you can learn more about or keep checking for the promotion on the Hilton HHonors site. Existing reservations or those made before February 1st do count as well so you can start planning all your stays now by booking them at Hilton.com
