And earn Double HHonors Points for Monday through Thursday nights at participating hotels and resorts. Take advantage of this special preview today. Because whether you’re earning double points on business or triple points on a weekend away, you can always count on HHonors to get you to your next getaway faster.

Excluded hotels:

[(RE)EDITED TO ADD:] Please see posts 47 & 91. At least one hotel on the original excluded list was not supposed to be on the excluded list, and has been removed from that list. So (a) re-check the list periodically, as it has changed at least once, and (b) if a hotel you want to stay at is on the list, you may want to contact it and double-check whether it should be on the list.

Do I have to change my Double Dip Earnings Style Option in my HHonors account in order to receive Double and/or Triple Points for this promotion?
No. However, to maximize the number of points you can earn during the promotion, selecting HHonors Points and HHonors Points would be best.

I was thinking of keeping my Double Dip setting so I can earn some United miles. But looking at the above FAQ entry, I am not sure how I am able to "maximize the number of points" with setting Double Dip to "HHonors Points and HHonors Points". Wouldn't the base points be the same, and hence I will be getting the same *Q3 bonus points* under any Double Dip setting?

Disappointing. Obviously not targeted towards business travelers, but am very happy I don't have to hotel hop. Need to check out the other promotions, maybe time to loyalty hop ths summer.

So it's not exactly the same, even for Mon-Thu, as an extension to the current promo would be, since for those who are getting double miles in the current (Q2) promo there is no option for that in the Q3 promo.

I'm happy! My two June trips got bumped to July, so I'll still be able to earn double points for Mon - Thursday and even triple on Sunday (when I normally fly in). I've also verified the hotels at which I'm staying aren't excluded.
So, no downside from my perspective

if they offered no promo, I would stay elsewhere. There are a lot of hotels out there to choose from and I get to choose where
I stay. I think we all stay where we can mazimize our points and stays so that when we do get to take vacation we can go for free. I am on the road 150 nights a year, never get an upgrade, don't really care about them so much, but I do want as many points as I canget so I can take my vacations at a great property
