I have a Reserve Visa and just received an email to register for the promo.
I wonder if this is just the normal Citi Visa HH card or whether it also applies to the Reserve Card. My guess is just the normal Citi Visa HH card, which is too bad because of the lower point earnings on the hotel bill (6 points/$ instead of 10 points/$). If I'm right, you have to do the math to figure out which is better, although it's going to be this promo except for really high folios.

I have two separate stays coming up. One paid (3 nights) and one not (4 nights award). Will my award stay counts towards this promotion? Usually award stays are not included in promotions but they are always stated in the T&C. It seems like award stays are not excluded this time around:
"A ‘stay’ is defined as the total number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel..." Nothing else is mentioned to this regard.

This award stay will be in Asia and I've just remembered that my citi HH card is the basic, no annual fee type. I will have to keep room charges to a minimum to avoid paying a high forex transaction fee that would null the promotion value. Maybe I should upgrade this card for future Hilton stays overseas. But there are too many premium cards in my wallet already.

Had a stay Monday night using the Reserve Visa and the 2500 bonus points posted at the same time as the base and other bonus points. Much better than the 1000 point app bonus which haven't posted for my stays that were about 10 weeks ago.
