Just registered after seeing this thread. No email confirmation, though when I try to register again I'm told I'm already registered. Should I contact HH cust svc and request email confirmation? Upcoming trip to Italy...and none of our hotels have opted out!

I just registered and now see that virtually every US Hilton I would consider staying at is not participating.
This is borderline false advertising and just infuriates customers. I really don't understand what has happened to marketing people in the hospitality industry - they clearly don't know what they are doing.
It would be a whole lot better to run campaign offering "double miles for selected Hilton properties" to encourage people to stay at them.

I registered right after seeing the original post in this thread (Feb 24) and immediately received a confirmation email. I was amazed on Feb 26 to receive an email from Hilton HHonors announcing the promotion! I really think they are turning the corner on their IT issues. This is the first promotion announcement I have ever received, even if it was a couple of days late and after I had already registered.

Ho Hum, once again no email notification even after being told that I had been removed from the global opt-out list, and nothing but wine and credit cards on the "My Offers" page on the website.
Maybe by the next promo in 6 months time it'll have filtered through...

I have never received a confirmation mail of having signed for a promo and always has been OK.
I actually did not know that they were sending confirmations as others have posted here.

I like the suggestion and would love if it was so simple, but almost (because there's never a 100%) sure no hotel will give a folio saying $X and you pay $Y in cash, where X+Y is the total bill.
Also regarding someone paying X+Y but only expensing $X, try visualizing the scenario where the traveler would note a comment on the expense report, that while the bill shows X+Y, I'm only expensing X, because Y was for the extra points. Impractical and could lead to a whole series of back and forth with accounting.

I saw the same thing on my offers also, but went to the link and received a confirmation email right afterwards.

(There are modifications that might do slightly better in various situations. Being a little more forgiving helps, but only a little.)

Double Your HHonors promo - to be merged
I registered and directly went to look at the list of opt-outs. This year's promotion will be better for me than last year when I had to stay in 3 hotels in Upstate NY that did not participate. This time around, I'm staying in 3 hotels that are participating and one of them is one that did not participate last year. I hope that the list does not change.
Sorry, very wrong thread. I was supposed to be on a Hilton thread but don't know how to move this to the right one. The 2015 Double your HHonors promotion!

5k for two night stay
2k per night
My experience is that they stack, i.e., a 2 night stay posted as 9k bonus points.
ETA: GentleGiant - seems to be an echo in here!
