We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site.

Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    Rare is the day that Hilton is not running some kind of bonus points promotion. You can find the latest deals on the Hilton promotion page, although the only noteworthy being Hilton’s “Double Rewards Promotion.” But be sure to check this post regularly, as we’ll update it with the latest Hilton promos. Alternately, just subscribe to our newsletter and we’ll let you know when Hilton publishes something new.

    I’ll outline this deal, and show you how to maximize it by using the best Hilton credit cards.

    Double Rewards Promotion

    When you register for Hilton’s Double Rewards Promotion, you’ll earn twice the normal amount of base Hilton points you’d normally earn for your stay. For example, most Hilton hotels will give you 10 points per dollar when reserving a room. With this promotion, you’d earn 20 points per dollar.

    We estimate Hilton points value to be about 0.5 cents each. Earning an extra 10 points with this promotion means you’d be receiving an extra 5 cents per dollar in value at Hilton hotels. This is in addition to any bonus points you’ll earn from Hilton elite status or by paying with a Hilton credit card.

    This promotion will also give you double the elite night credits, meaning it’s twice as easy to reach Hilton elite status. Plus, all elite night credits you earn this year will transfer into 2021. Now’s the time to rack up your nights!

    As long as your stay is completed during the promotion period (from Sept. 8 through Dec. 31), you will receive both of these bonuses — even if you checked-in before the promotion period.

    How to earn Hilton points

    Earning Hilton points is perhaps the easiest feat in the miles and points hobby. Hilton gives their points away like hotcakes. Here are the fastest ways to earn:

    How to maximize Hilton promotions

    To maximize Hilton promotions, be sure you’re using a Hilton credit card to pay for your stays. As mentioned above, you can get a TON of Hilton points for your Hilton spending with the right card.

    For example, the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card gives you 14 points per dollar on eligible purchases with Hilton. It also comes with top-tier Diamond elite status, which gives you a 100% bonus on base points. In other words, a $200 stay with Hilton would earn you:

    That’s 34 points per dollar. And if you stay during the Double Rewards Promotion, you can add another 10 points per dollar to that figure. Because we estimate Hilton points are worth 0.5 cents each on average, earning 44 points per dollar is like getting a whopping 22% back on your stay!

    Alternatively, you can use another travel credit card such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve® or American Express® Green Card to earn bonus Chase points or Amex points for your travel purchases.

    The information for the Amex Green card and Hilton Aspire card has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    FAQs

    How long do Hilton promotions last?

    Hilton promos tend to last months at a time, and they always clearly outline their end date. It’s also worth noting that Hilton promotions tend to reappear with regularity. They’re almost always very similar in nature, so don’t despair if you miss out! Perhaps it will crop up again a month or two down the road.

    Do I have to register for Hilton promotions?

    Yes. Hilton will not auto-enroll you in promos. You can register for the current promotion here.

    Can I get these promotions if I am not part of the Hilton Honors program?

    No, you will get no perks or bonuses if you’re not enrolled in Hilton’s loyalty program.

    How do I join Hilton Honors?

    Opening a Hilton Honors account is totally free. Just click this link and enter some personal information (name, home address, email, etc.), and Hilton will issue you a loyalty number immediately. Read our post on how to set-up a Hilton account for step-by-step instruction.

    Bottom line

    You should always register for hotel promotions, even if you don’t think you’ll use it. You never know when you’ll find yourself on the doorstep of a Hilton hotel — these promotions last months at a time, after all!
