Why is a promo so important to get you to switch? Genuine curiosity here...

Why, out of curiosity? My main reason for collecting Hilton points rather than SPG/Marriott is the international coverage. When I travel for pleasure/on points, I do so outside of the USA, and Hiltons tend to be where I want to go more often than the other brands.

Personally I find Hilton to be way subpar to most SPG hotels
Plus after HH massive change in its program where I find my pts to be worth alot less, during a decent promo it may make it worthwhile to actually stay at a Hilton prop and pay $$ for it

I've read some discussions but am still confused. I have a few reward nights at Hampton Inn Fall River/Westport before Apr 30. T&C says:
Members will earn Bonus Points with the “2,000 Points Every Day” promotion if they have incidental charges during a Reward Stay, provided such charges are deemed eligible folio charges. This does not apply to incidental charges for stays at Hampton, Home2 Suites or Homewood Suites by Hilton.
OK, so an eligible folio charge is required (although some DP upthread says otherwise). It says Hampton is excluded, but mine is Hampton Inn. So is mine excluded or not?

Now that the 2K every day promo is ending, I have a question: did anyone have a stay under the "old" Cash & Points that were not supposed to earn points? What actually happened - did you get any points/bonuses or did you not?
I've still got a few "old" C&P stays upcoming that I'm loathe to change since they were such tremendous values, just wondering if the system really can tell the difference between the old and the new.

Just so I'm clear, for the purposes of these promo T&Cs, is "Hampton" and "Hampton Inn" and "Hampton Inn and Suites" exactly the same thing?

I stayed at Bursa Hampton on 22 April for one night just with points (5,000 p) and when I checked out I bought a chocolate and tell them to charge it from my registered credit card and they did so, and 2 day later I have the 2000 + 500 points for the stay

IMHO, it is not worth changing an "old" C&P reservation to a "new" one just to cover the possibility that points may not be awarded. For the one I had, the cash difference was large if I kept the points portion the same, and it would not be worth it for the few extra points I received (and yes, I looked into this before travelling).
I would not take this as a definitive answer as to whether you should get the points or not. When I called in, it was only to ask about the discrepancy between the folio estimate and the amount deposited in my account. What was clear was that the bonus points did deposit automatically.

I had an "old" C&P stay that earned the 2000 points per day automatically. The total estimated points on the folio at checkout was such that it indicated that I would receive points for the cash portion, but those points were not credited automatically. I called in to inquire about the large difference between the estimated points on the folio and the amount awarded in my account, and was given the total on the folio estimate (slightly adjusted for currency conversion).
