Excluded hotels:

http://hhonors1-stg.hilton.com/en_US...otels/index.do
[(RE)EDITED TO ADD:] Please see posts 47 & 91. At least one hotel on the original excluded list was not supposed to be on the excluded list, and has been removed from that list. So (a) re-check the list periodically, as it has changed at least once, and (b) if a hotel you want to stay at is on the list, you may want to contact it and double-check whether it should be on the list.

Just got the email and enrolled..
For me, its basically the same promo as the current one. All my travel is Monday thru Thursday.

I agree, though honestly I would have been happier if the extended the Q2 promotion.

Do I have to change my Double Dip® Earnings Style Option in my HHonors account in order to receive Double and/or Triple Points for this promotion?
No. However, to maximize the number of points you can earn during the promotion, selecting HHonors Points and HHonors Points would be best.
I was thinking of keeping my Double Dip setting so I can earn some United miles. But looking at the above FAQ entry, I am not sure how I am able to "maximize the number of points" with setting Double Dip to "HHonors Points and HHonors Points". Wouldn't the base points be the same, and hence I will be getting the same *Q3 bonus points* under any Double Dip setting?

That's a big list of excluded hotels, some of which I would have stayed at...

Yes, your bonus is the same under any earning style. They are simply pointing out that by selecting "Points and Points" you will earn the maximum number of points (while at the same time opting out of earning any miles).

Yep... That's a bummer. I will be at the SF Union Square in July... yet another excluded hotel.

To clarify. As I read this, it's only for points, not miles as well, correct?

MR_MAMA Jun 20, 2012 5:34 pm

Disappointing. Obviously not targeted towards business travelers, but am very happy I don't have to hotel hop. Need to check out the other promotions, maybe time to loyalty hop ths summer.

Free points no need to complain. What if they offered no promo??

Ah, that makes sense, thanks Deemus7!

Correct.

So it's not exactly the same, even for Mon-Thu, as an extension to the current promo would be, since for those who are getting double miles in the current (Q2) promo there is no option for that in the Q3 promo.

I'm happy! My two June trips got bumped to July, so I'll still be able to earn double points for Mon - Thursday and even triple on Sunday (when I normally fly in). I've also verified the hotels at which I'm staying aren't excluded.

So, no downside from my perspective :)

if they offered no promo, I would stay elsewhere. There are a lot of hotels out there to choose from and I get to choose where
I stay. I think we all stay where we can mazimize our points and stays so that when we do get to take vacation we can go for free. I am on the road 150 nights a year, never get an upgrade, don't really care about them so much, but I do want as many points as I canget so I can take my vacations at a great property
