I am not a Hilton Honors member; can I participate in this promotion?
Yes. You can join the Hilton Honors program for free, register for the promotion and immediately be eligible to participate. Simply visit HiltonHonors.com/DoubleUp and follow the steps to join Hilton Honors and register for the promotion simultaneously.

What are the Terms and Conditions of the promotion?
To make sure everyone has the most up-to-date Terms and Conditions, we have posted them on the website HiltonHonors.com/DoubleUp.

Which Hilton Honors brands are participating in the promotion?

I've added a wiki with the T's & C's as well as the FAQ details as there appears to be questions that were answered in those and to save people posting many of the usual questions, hope that helps.

To those that are having issues registering, have you cleared your cache and history of said DoubleUp pages/cookies and then tried the link provided by our lovely HH Rep in post 1 (also in the wiki)?

Safe travels.

but to answer my own question, i saw that there is a FAQ link, and on that page it states:

Yes, as long as the member is registered for the promotion prior to check-out of the stay and the reservation is for an eligible stay. Regardless of when a reservation was booked, any registered guests with nights within the Promotion Period will receive the promotion bonus.
so i think it's pretty clear that the answer to my question is yes.
Yes, virtually all Honors promotions pivot around when the night(s) are stayed versus when they're booked.

that's good to know. I had SPG Platinum status for many years and was always frustrated by the requirement to book during the promotion booking period and stay during the promotion stay period. This Hilton method is working out better for me at the moment.

An additional note regarding registering for this Double Up promotion, I was still getting the access denied error. I tried random numbers and passwords and got an error message stating that the information was not valid so the system was working, it just wouldn't give me access. My wife was able to use the same page on this same computer and it worked for her.

I called and they registered me over the phone so the immediate problem has been overcome but the root cause has not been established.

I'd like the answer to that too, but since I got the Sunday night 1000 point bonus on award stays this summer, I assume the same will apply this time, unless I am told otherwise.

I've got a 4 night award stay during the timeframe...so I'd like to know that in addition to those 4 nts counting towards the 10, I will also get 2x the peripheral spend I'd make on the free nights? (which will be substantial, we're in Hawaii).

See the wiki / T&C's:
Will members earn Bonus Points with the “Double Up” promotion for Reward Stays for this promotion?
Members will earn Bonus Points with the “Double Up” 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. For a complete explanation, see number 14 under Accrual of Points here.


Make sure you buy a bag of M&Ms from the pantry...

That FAQ refers to earning double promo points, not defining a qualifying stay.

Paul, you literally click on the word "here" in Lauren's sentence. When you mouse over it you'll see it gets highlighted.

However, and this is an ongoing issue - I registered with no problem (through Lauren's link) but there is never any confirming message or e-mail or anything. And when I then go to the Honors account it does not show being registered for any new promos, just the expiring 3x one. Please ask your powers that be, Lauren, to include something like "congratulations, you're registered" for these promos.

I successfully registered yesterday (no confirmation other than the screenshot). I tried again today and found I have the same problem you are experiencing:

It seems registration is offline at the moment.
