Any Current Hilton Honors Promotions?
Are there any promos going on right now that are worth me changing my business from Starwood? I'm gold in both and would rather have the 7K bonus miles in Starwood for 3 stays unless any of you know of a better HHonors promo.
Thanks.

You have no incentive to change on that issue. The current Hilton promos are specifically open by invitation only. This "targeted marketing" is Hilton's choice, so I suppose it's also their choice not to include you.
I guess they want you to stay with Starwood.

I think they want me to stay with starwood also, how else to explain their insistance on charging me by-the-minute for local and toll-free calls.

Hey Jeff,
Do you mean to say that these phone charges actually effect your decision as to which hotel to stay in?

Another factor is that Hilton won't give you points on discounted rooms. Other hotels will give you points based on what you spend regardless of discount. And how about their puny 500 points for a resort stay???

Stay 3 nights get 4th night free
Got an email from Hilton today saying that if you stay 3 nights from Nov 18 - Feb 6 you will get the 4th night free, haven't read the details yet. You have to pay with MasterCard though.
I can also forward the email to anyone who didn't get it.

This has been an ongoing promotion. I think that the catch is that not all rates qualify, so you may be better off paying a lower rate and paying for four nights (and getting credit for a four night stay vs a three night stay).

Past promotion...anyone remember
It seems that earlier this fall whereby you could qualify for Gold status by staying a certain number of nights. Does anyone remember the details of this promo?

It was a 'targeted' promotion. But if you want to read about it...

I've stayed a few Hiltons so far but am I missing any promotions? How is the SLC Airport Hilton?
Thanks.

sggolf,
Since when have you been staying at Hilton? If you stayed between Jan 1 - Mar 31 2000, make sure you got all your "Tails, You Win" promotion bonuses. As of now I haven't heard of any promos other than spend $2000 at a Hilton and get 2000 bonus points. Pricey. Also don't forget to reserve your room through their website for the extra 1000 points bonus per stay.

SLC Hilton is OK, nothing special. Stayed there little over a year ago for 3 nights.
As I remember, it needed work. It didn't impress me enough to stay there since

Can you explain what the "Tails, you win" promotion was? And what the particulars were?
