This wiki captures the main points of the Q3 offer from Hilton as posted by HHonorsRepresentative. The main focus of the thread posts has shifted to discuss the high number of opt out hotels for this promotion. Nothing stopping you from adding other useful information or discussion points to this wiki or to the thread! @:-)
Hilton Q3 Promotion: Triple Your Trip
Offer Details:
Earn Triple Points Friday through Sunday
Earn Double Points Monday through Thursday
Stays must be completed between August 1, 2014 and October 31, 2014 at participating hotels and resorts
Register using this link (Many of you may have already registered! If you received a confirmation email, then the promotion code has already dropped on your account and re-registration would not be necessary)
A full list of non-participating hotels and resorts can be found here
A FAQ for this promotion can be found here
Notes from HHonorsRepresentative about the high number of opt out hotels:
As many of you have already noted, more hotels and resorts have chosen to opt-out of this particular promotion compared to previous offers. We understand that having options when you book stays with us is very important and we do our best to encourage hotels and resorts to participate in our promotions. While we hope our promotions work for most hotels, sometimes individual hotels do not have a need for a little extra help filling their rooms. Many hotels are individually owned and operated so we let them make that decision based on their demand. Additionally, many hotels and resorts see spikes in occupancy this time of year, which explains why some hotels have opted-out.
Please do update this wiki with any other useful info or to correct any mistakes.

Hi all,
Some important clarification:
- The landing page for this promotion is not yet final, so it was taken down temporarily after it was discovered yesterday to avoid confusion. I will be announcing the promotion details with the official URL as soon as the landing page is finalized and published during the week of July 21.
- The list of participating hotels is also not yet final. The final list will be published with the full landing page during the week of July 21.
- As you might imagine, member emails announcing the offer have not yet been distributed. Emails will begin to be distributed the week of July 21.
Thanks! More to come soon!

5 of 7 hotels I have booked in August and September are on the (tentative) non-participant list. I can't remember a promotion that was that useless to me. It would have been better if Hilton had no promo at all. Now they have made a customer mad.

With all due respect Anthony, you may want to do a bit less checking with your team and a bit more blasting of your team for providing you with inaccurate information that will reduce your credibility; see Post #37 above. It's not just this issue, but also the info about phone calls to properties being preferable to email, and lingering confusion over credit for TA-booked stays. This forum is frequented by many who are very knowledgeable about the HH program and its intricacies; you'd likely be well-served by using your BS meter and pushing back on your internal sources when you're provided with information that may be suspect.

Cancel these stays and move somewhere else, but be sure to inform the GM of the hotel that they are losing business due to their decision not to participate in the program promotions.

Just to clarify, this is not the hotel list for the upcoming promotion. We are pulling this down to avoid any more confusion.

Good to hear. I hope that many on this list are removed. Please give feedback to properties that we ARE watching this list very carefully and it is very much directing our spend. Our reservations will be made accordingly starting on the 21st.
