New hotel bonus point opening specials
Last weekend I had a two night stay at the newly opened Hilton Garden Inn Brussels Louise. My hhonors account now says under points earned: "HGI Brussels 1000 points offer": 2000 bonus points. I didn't expect them and as far as I could find, there's no mention of it on Hilton's website. Don't know how long this offer will last either, but usually it will be between two and three months. The hotel opened on August 8.
While doing research, I noticed Hilton Edinburgh Carlton has an unpublished 15000 points offer for 3 night minimum stays, plus 5000 for each additional night until October 31, 2016.
Are offers like these common for new hotels?
What do you think, should we post such offers in this thread (doesn't have to be a sticky) or in the sticky Hilton properties joining / leaving the Hilton chain ... thread?
