Hilton HHonors - Conquest Bonus

Several threads discuss the current bonus. How do we sign up for it? Who has the promo # and details?

I am guessing I did not get the mailing because I am diamond adn already stay with Hilton entirely too often.

Does not seem fair.

I'm a Diamond and I signed up last week via phone and they had no problem in crediting me my 50k for the nights I had already stayed in Nov and Dec. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Can't find much info about the conquest bonus, but apparently I signed up for it some time ago, because the bonus for the first one (5,000) has kicked in. Can someone remind me of the subsequent stay bonuses and expiration date.

So double double dip+
fastrack to gold bonus+
conquest bonus+
mexicana transfer+
profile update=
lots of bonus points.

I'm getting a little confused. What is the "Conquest Bonus?" I'm familiar with the Fast Track to Gold. Is this something different?

I was told by a Hilton rep that the Fast Track to Gold Bonus and that the Conquest Bonus were the same thing. I assume that they are both the BTYM? code. Thus, no duplicate bonus points for that promo. However, we can still earn the Double Dip bonus with it.

I think the above bonuses that I have noted all end 2/28/01.

In addition, there is the web site booking bonus that is 1,000 points and which I think ends 1/31/01.

That link took me to an e-mail sign up page for special rates that I already get. I did a search on the Hilton site for "bonus" and it showed a promo that they had in 1999.
How else can I get the bonus info?

Aw shucks, they changed the site on me! All apology, folks, but if you wish, I posted the content of the link in another thread..

Here's why I am still a little confused. From a recent stay:

Base Points 1,053
BT2YM Cnqst 1st 2000 5,000
CQY2 1st Conquest 2K 5,000

seems like the BT2YM (my first of 4) is a different promotion than the CQY2

Thanks
Charles

Charles -- I guess you've just got lucky! From waht HHonors CSR told me, BT2Y and CQY2 are essentially one and the same promotion, with the only difference in the "origination" of the promotion (e.g., CQ coming from Continental, etc). She said these two promotions can not be combined on one account.

Good for you Charles! I guess you got a Christmas present from Hilton!

OK, thanks to your suggestions, HH signed me up for the Conquest promo on 12/27. They did not make it retroactive to mid November though.

That's ok because I have many stays planned this month. I received the first bonus saying: AA 1st Conquest 2000 5,000


Couple questions:

1. What will the 2, 3, 4, & 5th Conquest points postings consist of (I think I read that you will receive a total of 50,000 points after 5 stays).

2. When does Conquest promo end (mid February?)?

3. Do stays at Embassy, Homewood, Doubletree & Hampton count?

Help! I feel like an idiot!

I am a Hilton diamond member who makes all my reservations on-line. I have not received any 1,000 point bonuses. My numerous calls to Hilton customer service have produced the same response. "The 1,000 point bonus expired March 31, 2000." Unless I can fax them a copy of something Hilton has printed which says it goes to Jan 31, 2001 I am out of luck.

I have tried to follow the threads to a Hilton web page which explains the offer but can't seem find a page which explains the offer and the expiration date. I have also looked at all the Hilton literature mailed to my home and can't find a discription.

Can someone help me out? I figure Hilton owes me 35,000 points just for making my reservations on the web.

Unfortunately, I didn't print out that page from the web either. However, unlike you, my stays were minimal. Did you try contacting the email address of the webmasters at HHonors and explaining to them the problem? I'd be interested in knowing the result.

Here's the offer:

So the short answer is..yes, it's being offered again. Thank you MartinElk for posting this on 11/20/2000. If you don't see your bonus posting, send email HHonors.

Also FYI -

My Online 1,000/per resv. bonuses have not been posting either.

I simply have been calling HH Cust. Svc. (877-444-9847)and they have been "goodwilling" the points.

A couple weeks ago, they credited me 6,000 points for my last six stays. I did have to read them the above offer as the agent was not aware of the promotion.

BTW - There are so many different promotions going on right now, I have found that most agents have no idea about some of them. At times I have had to ask for a supervisor as general agents don't know what is happening.

Sometimes I feel that I am working for Hilton and training these folks on their own programs. At any rate, they always seem to adjust the postings, it's just frustrating that we have to keep calling them...

That's right. For 4 stays (4 nights), I have received 100,000 HH points + Triple Points /Double Miles + Online booking bonuses. 50,000 from BTYM and 50,000 from PAEB. I asked Hilton about PAEB but they don't know what it is. I don't recall enorlling in such promotion either. It was automatic. By the way, I don't think PAEB stand for : "Pakistan Airline Executive Bonuses" (read the Pakistan Airline thread from The Buzz), b/c I never fly them and I probably never will! But someone suggested it could stand for Platinum American Express Bonuses. Hmm...if so, that' curious, I paid my first stay with Diners Club, so if PAEB is for AMEX, how did Hilton know I have a AMEX card, let alone a Platinum one? Though, I did pay my subsequent stays with P-AMEX for Triple points, but there is still something I don't understand. I paid a separate room for my mom who was travelling with me on all my stays. The payments were made with my credit cards, the same ones as I used for myself, but then she didn't get any of the PAEB bonuses except the regular BTYM 50,000 bonuses. Perhaps, these 100,000 points is a targeted offer, only to certain people as a Hilton Honors agent was trying to explain to me. Anyway, at least I am not the only one getting this 100,000+ points for 4 nights.

By the way, these 100,000 is good for a 6 nights stay in Hilton Millenium in NYC, which has a value of $550 USD a night (considering that the lowest rate is $398 + taxes. and I will be upgraded to Executive Floor for a better room of around $475 + taxes upon arrival), so 6 nights has a value of $3,300 USD. Not bad at all!

Sorry, I am new on Hilton, and registered to the program only 3 weeks ago.
I am making a trip beginning next week. I will stay 2 or 3 times in Hampton, ...
Do I have to register, with a special code, or do I have to book with specific codes ?
If this has been discussed already, are the codes written in previous threads ?
Thanks, and sorry for asking for somebody already discussed

For the Conquest promotion, call HHonors customer service in your country and ask to be registered for Conquest.

As far as what you earn for Conquest and the program end date, could someone please tell me what you specifically earn for each stay and when the promo ends???

Just signed up for Conquest (no problem at all) and was already enrolled in the Fast Trak, I had a stay last Sunday that wasn't posted, lets see if I get double dipped on the 50K

Does not seem fair.

If you register for Conquest Bonus and do not make or complete the requirements, what happens to the bonus points already received?

I was chasing the 15 night 30,000 Marriott deal, but decided I would rather do the Hilton Conquest twice, once for me and once for my wife that way I get 50,000 each. 100,000 points for 8 nights is better than 30,000 for 15 nights.

Hello everyone, I signed up as a Diamond no problem, and wasn't even down graded however I can't track these points, they retro actively applied my first five K to a stay ending Nov 3rd then nothing as I have had 7 stays since then of which 3 were after signing up. My total balance appears to be 30K greater than it was prior to sign up. My question is how do you trak this and also has anyone else had trouble receiving points for the double pts/miles promo, I have rec'd this only twice out of five eligible stays. What about the bonus pts/miles for $2000 in folio amounts that was running this fall. I didn't receive any points for that either as I ran up close to $5K in folio values for that promo? Do we have to call Hh to get these points? Any help or info would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Just completed my 4th stay and got all 50K bonus points for conquest. Thanks all.

Now I am going to sign up for the 50K Diners Club Hilton promo!

Does anyone know if we can use a combination of Hilton Brand Hotels(Hilton, Doubletree, Hampton Inns, etc.) for the 4 nights needed to complete the bonus?

In a word...YES...all Hilton "brand" properties are valid for this promotion.

yes

I signed up for the promotion but I did not receive any bonus for the 1st stay as others appear to have. Also, my understanding is that several members were already comped to Gold before the 4 stays. I am still Silver.

Are these all signs that the representative who said I was signed up didn't enter this correctly in the system?

Yes, I would call customer service back and ask to be signed up again.

Of course there is also,

CQY2 3RD CONQUEST 2K
CQY2 2ND CONQUEST 2K

Just curios what this Promo is.

Thx

I completed my second stay of my second conquest promotion (first completed B2TYM, then signed up for DCDT) on March 2, and the points did not post. I had received the 5k points for an earlier stay in Feb., and was looking for the next 10k. I called HHonors, and no dice for BBQ.

The CSR told me that I could not receive credit for both conquest promos, and their system apparently picked it up. The disappointment for me was like being served a microwaved, warmed-up McRib sandwich when I was expecting prime, tender, shredded pork. Try, try, again w/ the CSR's, but I suspect the honeymoon is over.

I called HH CS yesterday to see if I could squeeze any info from the CSR regarding bonuses that might sway my office to choose Hilton instead of Hyatt on our next trip to Chicago. To which he answered for me to just "hold off for the Conquest Gold VIP challenge" upcoming in the next month or two. He would not budge on additional information, as he said they only tell them [customer service?] details about a month from the start of such promotions. Any insiders heard rumblings of this for early 2002?
