Priority Club and Hilton are part of TopGuest, relatively easy way to earn 50 points/day if you're in the right geography.
Lots of little opportunities here and there to earn in hotel programs without stays.
MDtR: I appreciate it. I was able to capitalize on the TGIF/Club Carleson promo to get 4,500 points to jumpstart my account. This allowed me to only use $50 in e-rewards to top up above this year's 850 mile transfer threshold.
I'll start reading about topguest, I'm very interested in how I can get those points
. Even better, just for signing up right now I got 50 HH points, 50 BW points, and 50 Priority club points. Thanks!
I tried with the FB game with Mariott every so often but didn't win anything.
Of course with my luck they'll eliminate the transfers next year! I actually doubt it though because those programs have to buy those miles from US, so I'm sure it is one of the few moneymakers they can count on.
With anything there's only so much time, but I'll start keeping an eye on those hotel partner forums. Thanks again.
