I must be on the ‘send her email last list’ because I just received the notice from Hilton for their Fall promotion. And, on first\u00a0look, this seems to be quite a bit more lucrative than the Marriott MegaBonus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hilton is definitely a hotel that I manage to frequent during the year. \u00a0My husband travels and sometimes the booking falls to me, and Hilton properties make their way into the mix. This promotion looks to be really doable. Hilton is just finishing up with it’s Double Your Honors<\/strong> <\/a>promotion which began in March and was extended through the end of August. With a stay in Orlando and a stay in Virginia recently, we have just about recouped the points we used for an award stay this year.\"Hilton<\/a><\/p>\n

It is a pretty straightforward proposition: Hilton is offering double points for weekday stays <\/strong>(Monday through Thursday) and\u00a0triple points for weekend stays<\/strong> (Friday through Sunday).<\/p>\n

According to the website, upon registration, your account may be eligible for an extra bonus once you begin the promotion. Hilton is making me work for mine – the offer was for an additional 4000 points on my 4th stay with them. All stays must be booked directly through Hilton at ANY hotel in the Hilton Portfolio from September 1st through December 31st, 2015, in order to earn Bonus Points.\"Hilton<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is the good news!\u00a0All Hilton HHonors brands are participating in the promotion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Curio Collection, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Embassy Suites, DoubleTree by Hilton, Hilton Grand Vacations, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Home2 Suites and Hampton.<\/p>\n

Be sure to use your Hilton App to plan and book your stay. I\u00a0covered this in Hilton’s Digital Key – Smartphone Convenience.<\/a><\/p>\n

How will the Double and Triple Points be calculated?<\/strong>
\nFor the Triple Your Trip promotion, the Bonus Points you earn per night are calculated based on the average nightly cost\u00a0of your total stay (average nightly cost\u00a0is calculated by taking the total cost\u00a0of your stay during the Promotion Period, divided by the total number of nights of the stay). Triple Your Trip \u201cDouble Points\u201d are awarded for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights in your stay. Triple Your Trip \u201cTriple Points\u201d are awarded for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights in your stay.<\/p>\n

Borrowing the example that Hilton uses, earnings break down like this:<\/p>\n

Example:<\/u><\/strong>
\nUS Net Folio: $1,038.38 x 10 pts per $1 = 10,383 BASE Points
\n10,383 BASE Points \/ total # of nights of the stay within the Promotion Period = 1,483 Average Points Per Night<\/p>\n

CALCULATION OF TRIPLE POINTS FOR THIS EXAMPLE:<\/strong>
\n\u00b7 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights (3 nights) will receive Triple Points
\n\u00b7 Triple\u00a0 Points is 2 x Average BASE. Therefore, 2 x 1,483 = 2,966 (base +bonus = 3x)
\n\u00b7 2,966 (triple points value) x 3 (total nights that are eligible for triple points) = 8,898<\/p>\n

CALCULATION OF DOUBLE POINTS FOR THIS EXAMPLE:<\/strong>
\n\u00b7 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights (4 nights) will receive Double Points
\n\u00b7 Double Points is 1 X Average BASE. Therefore, 1 x 1,483 = 1,483 (base + bonus = 2x)
\n\u00b7 1,483 X 4 (total nights eligible for double points) =\u00a0 5,932<\/p>\n

CALCULATION OF TOTAL BONUS POINTS AWARDED FOR THIS EXAMPLE:<\/strong>
\n8,898 (total triple points) + 5,932 (total double points) = 14,830 Bonus Points<\/p>\n

14,830 + 10,383 = 25,213 points<\/p>\n

*Keep in mind<\/strong>, this does not count the extra 5 points per dollar spend that you earn for choosing Points and Points. Nor does it account for any bonus you may receive from either of the branded credit cards (10 for Citi and 12 for the AMEX).<\/p>\n
