All of our hotels are participating in the Unlimited Bonus Promotion. There are no exclusions.
On a separate note, the HHonors Discount rate for Hilton HHonors members is available at participating hotels and resorts, but excludes properties in Mainland China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Additional FAQs can be found here.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you!
Lauren
Thanks for the info. Have the T&C's been changed? When I checked previously it definitely had the China exclusion.

You get
1 x Base points (Spent x 10)
1 x Bonus (Rate)
1 x Bonus (Promo)

So you get 3x points if you book the double rate.

Just got this promo email

"As a new HHonors member, in addition to Double Points, earn an extra 5,000 Bonus Points on your first stay of 2 nights or more, now through August 31, 2016.*"

Traveling next week, 4 nights, $1000, 3 hotels.

so I'm looking at

10000 base points
5000 diamond bonus
10000 double points promotion
5000 points for 2 nights or more new member bonus
7500 points for $750 of hilton stays in 3 month period with citi hilton card
10000 points for $1000 spent on Citi Hilton annually
1000 bonus for curio stay
2000 bonus for hilton stays
6000 points for spend on citi hilton

So, 56500 points and I'm splitting the cost with someone, not too bad. Is it possible for me to get more points instead of breakfast, and points instead of room service?

I really like this promotion. Last two stays, $500 each, netted me like 32K points. Not including the CC. That's triple the points I would have gotten at Marriott with their summer bonus, so even with the lower value...great promotion.

+1

Especially like the simplicity . . . none of the "custom promotion" or "tier" garbage that Hyatt and Marriott now use.

I am doing like 2-3x Hilton stays over what I had originally planned for this year.

I totally agree with you on both points. ^

Hilton Garden Inn is the only brand that offers a choice of points for waiving breakfast. Hilton and Doubletree give Diamonds both breakfast credit and bonus points.

I think you missed including 5000 more points for waiving the "double dip" partner miles.

If you are new to HH how are you starting out as a diamond?

Already had gold from the Surpass, and diid the status match. Shifted my summer travel (~12 stays) to Hilton to see how it is in Europe and to the states i regularly travel to to see if I want to switch over for the rest of the year/2017.

I got the Citi Hilton/Amex HHonors as well, though redemptions seem very hit/miss from what i've seen while booking.

Does anyone know if this will stack with airline miles offers, i.e. the 2-4x Iberia Avios offer?

I have a reservation over the week of the 31st, checking out on Sept 2nd. Will I still get the double bonus points for the first part of my stay or do I need to do 2 separate reservations?

Yes, you get the double points on your base. It won't double the miles you get with the Iberia offer, though.

In the example of a one-night stay that straddles the ending date of a promotion, I believe that it is the checkout date that matters. So if you were checking in on Aug 31, you would have missed the promo cutoff.

If you were checking in Aug 29 for example, the system will calculate appropriately what days would be in-promo without you having to make 2 separate back-to-back reservations
