No problem to add your Hhonors number in the booking(I have four bookings myself but havent decided if I should use them or not).
When I made the booking there was NO information about No points on this offer and the email confirmation doesnt mention this either.
I am counting on getting points for this. I will probably charge a small thing from the minibar as well and if points doesnt credit normally I will send it in to Hhonors in the US.
The offical word within Scandic is to give no points or Gold benefits on this offer.
Earlier I have got points for travel industry rates on Scandics even though the phone rep did say I wouldnt earn any points.
and finally HOW will they check that a person has only booked four rooms?

I thought we aren't supposed to receive stay credits at Scandics? (I've received them for every Scandic stay I've made, all award stays).

Haven't personally tried, but Finnair will give you 500 kms/night (AY uses kms, not miles) in all Hilton brands.
This is what is said in Finnair Website:
"Hilton Hotels, Embassy Suites, Conrad Hotels, Doubletree Hotels, Hampton Inn Suites, Homewood Suites and Scandic Hotels.
Finnair Plus members get 500 points/night (maximum 5000 points for 10 consecutive nights) at qualifying rates when staying at the Hilton Group hotels and presenting their Finnair Plus card at hotel check-in.
If you are a member of Hilton HHonors loyalty program you can collect points in both your HHonors account and Finnair Plus account."
Greetings,
Blueskies

I quoted: Wherever in the world you travel with bmi, you can earn an additional 1,000 miles a night if you stay in a diamond club partner hotel. This includes all of the following hotels: * Hilton Hotels (at all participating Hilton Honors Hotels).
They said, "Aaaah!"
I said "So?"
They said, "Send in your Folio and we'll look at it..."

I found this link on the HHonors website:
http://www.hamptoninn.com/en/hhonors/points/miles.jhtml
It shows inter alia:
All Other Brands*
Credit Per Stay (* = Hilton, Conrad, Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels, Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels only):
bmi british midland: 1,000 miles per night** (** = Maximum of three nights (maximum earning of 3,000 miles per staty, not including any bonus mile offers))
Hampton Inn®, Hampton Inn & Suites® and Scandic Hotels Credit Per Stay
bmi british midland: 1,000 miles per night** (** = Maximum of three nights (maximum earning of 3,000 miles per staty, not including any bonus mile offers))
So there you have it, 1,000 BD miles per night up to 3 nights with Scandic as well as other HHonors hotels
.
Oh, the typo staty is not mine, it's Hilton's.

This is what I thought, as Hilton states 1,000 miles per night at Scandic Hotels, and bmi states all participating Hilton Honors Hotels earn 1,000 miles per night... but when I asked diamond club "Are miles earned through stays at Scandic Hotels (part of Hilton HHonors)?", their response was "Scandic hotels do not qualify for miles".
So?
So?

. All should be OK. If not, take it up with BD later, sending them a print of the page from the link in my previous post.

My second stay for ACAQ has now posted, the one from Scandic. It looks like this:
DOUBLE DIP AC: 100
Base Points: 1,000
GOLD VIP 2003: 250
TOTAL POINTS FOR THIS STAY: 1,250
My first stay for ACAQ also had a post saying "2003 AC ACUIST 5000 points". But this Scandic stay does not say anything about ACAQ bonuses. BUT, my account has actually been toped with a extra 10k
To answer xyxxy´s question -yes, Scandic will qualify for ACAQ
