Hilton Honors 3rd Quarter Promotion 2010: Double Your Honors
HHonors members will be allowed to chose between double points or double miles (all partner airlines will be participating).
From July 7 to September 30, 2010.
Members who select double miles must have their earning preference set to points & miles.
Keep in mind folks this is more than a month away. Exact details are subject to change and I don't have any more info to provide.

Thanks!
Q1 and Q2 have actually gotten me almost all the way to Diamond requal, so I don't mind if the next one is different.
Double Miles might work better for me.

That'll be a helpful passing moderator merging the two threads - you'll notice the thread title has changed too.
I'm pleased with this new promo - 2k bmi miles per night turns in to business class seats fairly quickly. ^ I have enough FN certs for all my immediate needs.

I'd like to hear if this promo will mean 1 WN credit per stay rather than the typical .5 too.. That would be a very lucrative hotel hopping promo if it is, especially at Hampton Inns.

Can't wait to see details. I have a lot of stays coming up but several are several days long w/o option of hotel hopping. I'm guessing the double miles is per stay. Hmm, guess double pts may be best for me. C'mon Hilton, more details please!

Personally, I'm way unhappy it starts 7/7 since I have a six night stay ending 7/6 (NOT that I'm even a little bit surprised, since clearly this is devised to prevent HH from having to give points for the July 4th weekend - but are they really meaning to exempt the first few days of each 4th month from the promos? Seems sort of arbitrary.)
Whoops - ETA...overlooked this:
Come on, July 1!

There are no blackouts to redemptions unlike on UA. You do however pay fuel surcharges which can make costs eye watering for some people who are used to redeeming via the US carriers who don't charge the YQ. Worth investigating, but it may not be for you.
At 2k per night over a 3 month period, a semi-regular traveller can get a pretty good redemption ticket earned via the bmi bonus miles though. Worth using with the free night certificates earned in Q1 and Q2 perhaps?

Thanks hamptoninnsider for posting. Looks like what I guessed was right, just a regular promo.
On that note, I think it's crazy because two years ago I don't remember quarterly promos. Now it seems like hotels have painted themselves into a corner in that they cannot NOT have a quarterly promo or folks will flock elsewhere.

I'm sure the weak economy has something to do with all the perks and specials we've seen as opposed to years past.

I also think that since the devaluation HH has been more willing to offer promos. More ways to get points but you also need more points to pay for rooms. Perhaps it isn't a devaluation since Hilton is offering all of these promos? Perhaps this is how Hilton sees it?
