Unless award stays count, double points (on incidentals) would work better for me. My question is: when will registration open up as my first check-in will be the night of the Oct 5th?

Dear Hilton,
I hate the fact your rooms have 14 pillows. What research indicated that people need so many? Did you notice how dumb it looks to have to place the pillows parallel to the bed frame so that they fit? Moreover, if you are going to give me 14 pillows, couldn't they at least be stuffed differently so that customers can find a pillow that feels more comfortable?
Please make the fourth quarter promotion 10,000 points for every pillow that customers destroy.
Regards,
Diamond

Hey all, so, I stay at the Embassy Suites in Dublin OH every week. They were one of the properties who did NOT participate in the Q3 promo, however, I was told by the Business Travel Manager that in Q4 it will be double base points. Not to mention that if your stay includes Sunday night, it will be Quadruple points.
Now, I havnt seen any documentation from Hilton on this promo, this is just the information that I have received from the Business Travel Manager. Ill let you know if I find out anything else!

Does Hilton ever do promos with quadruple points? I'm new to this and want to know if I should get my hopes up since I've got several 5 day stays starting on Sunday in the next few months

Is this going to be capped? If not I see the potential for 100k points i.e 75k for 12 stays + the 25k of the *targeted* promo.

I've gotten triple points as a hotel-specific offer, so I suppose that should be combine-able with a Hilton-wide double points promo for a 4x net haul.

I have an expensive 4 nighter starting tomorrow. I'm sort of glad I'm only staying in Hiltons when I want to now.

When would this start, and do you typically have to register? I'm in an HGI now, checking out tomorrow, then back in a DT on Sunday. If it'd start on the 1st, that'd be fantastic!
And thanks for the heads up on this, it's appreciated!

I would say there is about a 0% chance of the Q4 promo starting on Oct. 1 (assuming there is a promo at all). All promo's this year have started approximately the second week of each quarter.

Q1 the first day of the month is new years, Q2 I think was right before easter this year and Q3 you had July 4. I am sure hilton wants to wait until after major holidays before starting the quarterly promo

my point was to not get your hopes up till hilton officially announces the promo....
