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.

Something must have changed between the current Double your HHonors and the Triple your Trip promotion. The op out list for Double your HHonors is so much shorter... Is it really because of the 3x possibility?

I'm in the same boat as turtlemichael. Registered at the first link posted, then when tried subsequently got the "you are already registered" with no confirming e-mail.
Would a screen shot of the "you are already registered" page be sufficient if there is a problem with points not posting?

I am going to pile on this argument. This is SAD, Hilton. I just went to the front desk of the hotel I am currently in and told the poor front desk clerk about this and that she needed to let the GM know that I would not be coming back to this property because of this. She was utterly stunned and absolutely had nothing to say.
You know, I have been hanging onto this program by the tinkering edge the last couple of years. It wouldn't take much to push me over that edge.

I know you're just doing you're job, and I can't say enough about how big an improvement you are over previous incarnations of the Hhonors representative, but I would have to say that between the trend I just mentioned, and the fact it is up to one third of all properties, this is more than just a case of "don't need that extra help to get rooms booked."

What a Joke!!
Soon the list of Hotels IN will be less then the Hotels OUT especially in the USA.
There should be no discussion. If a Hotel wants to be a Hilton then participate in the promotions!. Otherwise become a MOTEL 6!!!

No other chain I know of allows hotels to opt out of promos like Hilton does. What concerns me, is iff Hilton allows this what's next, will they individual hotels to opt of giving gold's free wifi or diamond's a free breakfast because it's too expensive for the property?
