[Expired] Get 1000 bonus points for trying out Digital Key between November 6 and December 31, 2015. Must have iPhone 4S or later that is running iOS8 or later or Android 4.3 or later (Bluetooth Low Energy enabled phones only), have the ability to connect to the Internet and have the most recent version of the HHonors app downloaded. Once you have loaded your key, an internet connection is not required (discovered by FT-member Keeton). Most new digital key users will need to stop at the front desk upon arrival to activate their digital key. If you have a choice between a smartphone and touchpad, and you use the touchpad to check in, the key will be on that pad, not on your phone.

2500 Bonus Points for using Digital Key?

Stumbled across this prmo where you get a bonus of 2.5k points just by using the digital key at selected hotels.

Apparently, you can get an extra standard keycard from the reception (if you need) and still get the 2.5k points, so no harm trying it out just for the bonus .points.

Not as good as the 5k bonus promo, but still better than nothing!

http://hhonors3.hilton.com/en/hhonor...gital-key.html

Not much info given on the site on which hotels are included in the promo though..

Can hhonors representative give more info regarding this promo? Thanks.

Also, how about upgrades? Can we still go to reception and request for an upgrade after using the digital key?

"Not available at all hotels".
Perhaps that statement would've been better phrased as "Only available at one hotel".


Digital Key is currently available at the following select hotels:

Hilton Alexandria Old Town

Interesting! I'll be there at the end of August. I'll have to try it out.

Don't see this being of much value by Sept 30th if only one hotel is participating as of now....Almost laughable/insulting!

It just so happens that I have an upcoming a stay here. There is now a clickable link in this stay's line item in my Reservations list, stating that Digital Key is available.

I haven't seen it before so I don't know if it shows up because I opted into the Digital Key from the App or if it is just coincidence.

I agree, I read the stuff on their website just before. It looks great until I saw the list of participating hotels. What a ridiculous way to publicize it. There should be something very obvious right at the top in large letters that says something like "Bear with us while we roll this out but it's only available at ONE hotel right now".

Or wait until a decent amount of hotels are ready before rolling it out...

Sometimes bonus points offers get extended. Remember the 1000 bonus points for making reservations via the iOS app? It stayed active for months after the deadline. This year's double points spring offer only got better when it was extended into summer, with all hotels participating now.

Since most of my business stays are at Hamptons, and expecting this will take a long time to trickle down to them, I'll anxiously await the second half promotion instead...

There are more new Hamptons opening than any other Hilton brand. About half of the Hilton Family hotels are Hamptons. The recently opened ones I stayed at in the past two years all had the new lock type (NFC instead of magnetic stripe). I don't know if that's enough to qualify for Digital Key entry, but if so, certainly a number of Hamptons will be going to offer this feature I guess.

Search results on hilton.com are now showing a 'Digital Key Offered' sign at such hotels. The 2500 bonus points offer has been extended until October 31, 2015.

For example:

Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort, Phoenix, AZ
Hilton Baltimore (both downtown and BWI), MD

I've used the digital key for my last 3 stays at the Hilton Old Town Alexandria. It works better than expected. It's nice to be able to walk into the hotel and go directly to my room. Helpfully, two waters and the breakfast certificates have been delivered to the room in advance.

The elevator requires an unlock to press the floor key. My first experience was that the app took a bit too long to initiate this unlock, but more recent experience has been good. I've gotten the 2500 point credit in each instance, which has been very welcome.
