Hi,
How many air miles can you get for HH stay ?
Is it depending on bill, or is it flat amount ?
Thanks

For eligible stays/rates, you generally receive 500 miles in your designated FF program, unless there are special promotions going on. [Each airline can designate the exact amount of the credit to their program, but this is the standard amount.] But remember, if your stay is in conjunction with a flight from any participating airline -- i.e. within 24-hours of arrival or departure on that airline, which can also be an airline different from the one on your file to which your miles will go -- you are eligible for a 250-point bonus to your HHonors earnings. [Just remember to show your airline boarding pass or ticket when checking in.] Same applies for having a rental car from a participating partner.

Amount of FF miles you receive for a stay at a HHonors hotel does not depend on your bill, and is 500 miles (for most airline programs, with some exceptions) for Hilton, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Camino Real, and Conrad properties, and 100 miles for Hampton Inn properties (keep in mind that not all airlines give miles for Hampton Inn stays).
Also, keep in mind that HHonors program provides for the Double Dip, giving you both airline miles and HHonors points for the same stay. Amount of HHonors points does depend on your bill (10 points per $ spent, plus elite bonuses, plus airline partner and car rental partner bonuses).

This seems to not being a requirement anymore, at least for the stays within the US. 250 bonus HHonors points for using an airline partner post automatically, as long as your FF# is in the folio (for the purposes of double dip).
That isn't the case though for the car rental partner bonus, which does not post automatically. While it's unusual to be asked to show rental car keys or contract, you should be prepared to do so, as it happens once in a while.

That's correct, a number of non-US airlines have a different amount (not the standard 500 or 100) of FF miles given for HHonors stays (the only US airline that has a different earning ratio is Southwest, which gives 0.5 Rapid Rewards credits for any HHonors stay, including Hampton Inn).
Malaysia Airlinesand Mexicana give 1,000 kilometers for Hiltons et al. stays and 200 kilometers for Hampton stays.
Aeromexico and LanChile give 1,000 kilometers for Hiltons et al. stays, but nothing for Hampton stays.
Alitalia gives 800 miles for Hiltons et al. stays, but nothing for Hampton stays.
