In my Hilton awards I was able to choose points and miles, meaning I earn HHonors points and (smaller) AAdvantage points.

I will register in case I stay at a Hilton, but other than that...........this promotion doesn't hold any value that I can see.

Billybligh - Great point, you might end up with a couple of upgrades that you can't use anyways.

Hey guys, saw that this was also good on Rocketmiles bookings...at least in that case you'd cap out at 100 EQMs per hotel stay as Rocketmiles starts out at 1,000 miles per night.

In fact, if you were doing a 1 night stay, you would essentially be earning 100 EQMs per night.

For me, it is not worth it after the devaluations. A promo like this that said "Earn 3X EQM and EQD" and "can be booked on hilton.com", would suffice. But it doesn't.

And us massive, hard-knox, loyal, LT PLTs don't have $6000.00 EQDs at the end of the year, even though we quasi-earned it.

Noted. So what does AA do, they do a 25% bonus promo on conversions. Hilarious.

True but the 25% bonus is on award miles, not EQMs.
