Double Your Honors Returns in 2016
Hi all,
I’m happy to let you know that Double Your HHonors is back! We’ve opened registration even earlier this year so our members can get a head start on planning 2016 travel. The best part…ALL hotels are once again participating. And word on the street is that this will be the case for every big Bonus promotion, all year long.
As a reminder, the Double Your HHonors promotion is a pick offer, so members can choose to earn Double HHonors Points or Double Miles with their preferred airline partner. Be sure to register here first and you’ll earn Double at every hotel from January 1 through April 30, 2016 with no minimum night requirement.
If you have the Hilton HHonors™ Card from American Express or the Hilton HHonors™ Surpass® Card from American Express, you can earn an extra 1,000 HHonors Bonus Points when you use your Card at check-out on your 1st stay during the promotion period. To register for both Double Your HHonors and the extra cardholder bonus, sign up here if you have the Hilton HHonors™ Card or here if you have the Hilton HHonors™ Surpass® Card. Cardholders should register on the custom AmEx links first.
Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you all have a happy holiday season and a prosperous (travel-filled!) New Year.
Thank you!
Lauren

Thank you Lauren for the info, would like to ask for some clarification on a situation I'm in and maybe others might face. Seeing that you have two different links based on whether you have the normal amex or surpass, I wanted to know what happens if you switch cards. Currently have the fee free amex, and may be considering upgrading to the surpass, if I register for the 1000 bonus when using normal amex, but then upgrade to surpass prior to staying in a hotel, would I still get the bonus on first check out with surpass. I see no real reason why not, but want to confirm.

I'll miss the triple points on weekends, but double points with NO opting-out is a huge step forward!

Proceeding sequentially through the links as I did will yield the following message:

The original post's wording is somewhat confusing: it should be made clear that people holding one of the HHonors Amex cards should register FIRST and ONLY at the second set of links, and skip the first link provided altogether.

Maybe this is a stupid question but for a 5 night stay (Dec 28th - Jan 2nd) does the promo take effect for the final night?
Likewise, does the previous promo cover the first 4 nights?
Or do the end/start dates of the promotions interfere in any way?

Thanks Lauren!
And, of course, I too registered via the first link and THEN realized I didn't get the Amex bonus attached, got the "there's a problem..." message.
I'll call HHonors in the morning to square that away, but you might consider rewording the post to put the Amex links first or a warning you can't do both. I felt a bit sheepish, but I see I wasn't alone in this.

Thanks Lauren and Hilton for this promotion, for making it known at this stage on FT and for not having any hotels opt out. ^^
I hope that you see a bigger response to the promotion and business from members to show the opt out did drive away business and the change is mutually beneficial. (it didn't affect me personally in the UK but certainly would for those in the US).
A question: you have provided links and additional points for those with Hilton credit cards...Might I ask about those of us not in the US? For example, in the UK the Hilton credit card is through Barclays Bank so not one of the two mentioned channels....will you provide the 1000 point bonus for non US Hilton card holders as well? (or could you please )
Thanks, great to see the interaction between FTers and Hilton working for both sides and long may that continue. Thanks for listening to us. :-:
