With each promotion the non-participating list seems to get longer.
Interestingly, there are over 230 "nons" in the U.S., and only 10 in the rest of the world!! Two of the biggest concentrations of "nons" seems to be in the Phoenix and Orlando areas. Surprisingly, to me at least, all NYC hotels participate.

It's actually been quite nice in New York this winter albeit a tad cold. Not a snowflake since Halloween (yes, Halloween).

Can an HHonors member receive both 1,000 Bonus Points per night and the 5,000 Bonus Points for a 2-night weekend stay?
Yes. Guests will receive 1,000 Bonus Points for each night of their stay and an additional 5,000 Bonus Points for a 2-night weekend stay. For example: A stay with a check in on Wednesday and check out on Sunday.

- Wednesday = 1,000 Bonus Points
- Thursday = 1,000 Bonus Points
- Friday = 1,000 Bonus Points
- Saturday = 1,000 Bonus Points
- 2-night weekend stay of either [Thursday + Friday] OR [Friday + Saturday] = 5,000 Bonus Points (only one 5,000 point bonus per weekend)

I don't think that's right. Sunday night is still considered a weekend night. The example given in the FAQ's shows a Sunday check out, but that doesn't mean you must check out on Sunday. I called the Diamond desk and the CSR confirmed it for me (although I know that is not necessarily a guarantee).

Never Mind!
"If an HHonors members has as a stay that encompasses 2 weekends will they receive two 5,000 Bonus Point weekend bonus?
Yes, they will receive 5,000 Bonus Points for each of the qualifying weekends."
Awesome! To tell you the truth I am so happy to get anything. I stayed at a non participating hotel for 3 months last quarter and didnt know until I checked out.

The reason that I am cautiious about this is due to the fact that SPG often states that weekend rates are on sale, and I include a Sunday night as a weekend night. However, whenever you try to book a special weekend rate at SPG for a sunday night, it does not give you the special discounted rate, whereas it does on Friday and/or Saturday.
Therefore, whenever I see a mention of a weekend night promotion and the example does not include a Sunday night I am a bit skeptical until proven otherwise.
Hilton is a different company than SPG, but I would rest more easily for you, if, when one were tyring to book this deal, that you get the name of the agent who advises you of such, that's all.

The Hilton exclude list is just stupid. This promo does nothing for me and certainly does not drive business to Hilton. Have not even opened the exclude list as this is so boring. I will await if anything comes from SPG or Hyatt.
