Thanks for the announcement, Lauren!

Does the portion I highlighted in red above mean that stays booked (this week) after registering but before May 1 won't count, even if the stay is after May 1? :confused:

The T&Cs at the link you gave:
Offer valid May 1, 2017, through August 31, 2017 (“Promotion Period”) at any hotel or resort within the Hilton Portfolio excluding Hampton by Hilton Hotels in Mainland China. Hilton Honors™ members must first register at HiltonHonors.com/BonusPromotion prior to completing a stay within the Promotion Period. Registered Hilton Honors members will earn Double Points per stay during the Promotion Period, or Triple Points per stay during the promotion period as a Diamond member. The Double Points or Triple Points bonus will be based on tier at time of checkout. Registered Hilton Honors members will only receive Bonus Points for nights completed during the Promotion Period, regardless of a check-in date before the Promotion Period begins or a check-out date after the Promotion Period ends. There is no limit to the total amount of Bonus Points that may be earned during the Promotion Period with this offer. However, there are restrictions on the amount of Base Points that can be earned on a single stay at certain brands. See Hilton Honors Terms & Conditions for more details. Bonus Points earned on Base Points do not count toward tier qualification. Please allow six to eight weeks from completion of your stay for Points to appear in your Hilton Honors account.
make no mention of a booking window, only a need to register before the stay.

Please clarify. Thanks.

Seems like Lauren edited her post to remove the "booking" requirement ^

Edit: After registering through the provided link, the FAQ link will not work for me with IE or Safari.....

Sorry for any confusion. I've updated the post. You can register for the promotion any time and you can book your stay any time. You just need to be registered in order to participate in the promotion starting May 1.

Thanks!
Lauren

Sounds great to me.

And hopefully you will get bonus points here from the naysayers by announcing this prior to the start of the month the promotion starts in!:):):)

Great promo! Appreciate the extra diamond love.

Great news! Thanks for clarifying this and for posting this promotion!

Well no "special treatment" for us lowly golds :p

Eujeanie Apr 25, 2017 7:06 pm

Thank you, Lauren, I know I'm usually skeptical but this sounds great and I'm so happy you announced it sooner rather than later! I know it's almost a cliché but it's true - I've been double booked with Hilton and Marriott/spg for a while waiting for this and I'm now going to be almost 100% Hilton this summer.

Looks good. Will definitely be swinging some stays over to Hilton for the extra points.

Lauren when it says Diamonds earn triple bonus points, does that mean the extra pts earned is the extra pts we get for our status eg Diamonds get a50% bonus so its 3x on that or is it 3x on base pts earned?

You said in 1 place Bonus points and in the 2nd place earn Double or Triple points per stay

If its 3x on the 50% bonus points that equals fora Diamond as if its Double base points (of 10x per $1) for some that may be better then the 2k going on now, for alot it means alot less points

Double / Triple points promos had always referred to the base points, I doubt it is talking about the Elite multiplier (I hope)

That said, promos are not meant to be the "same" nor are they intended to always get better and better. That will only lead to "inflation" which I am just wondering when that will happen. Probably why they remove the award categories... Reminds me of Delta.

Still, promos will always benefit some group (or situation) more than others. Over the years, there were many various promos e.g. 5,000 points per stay, 2,000 points per night, Double points for x nights, Triple for y nights, Double points for all stays, Double points for all stays and Triple for Diamonds for all stays, Double points for weekends etc.

The current-soon to end promo (2,000 per night) works "best" for anyone with a cheap rate. The latest works best for Diamonds on expensive stays (e.g. USD 350 rate = extra 7,000 for a Diamond member vs 2,000 currently).

What about points stays with room charges, and Cash & Points rates?

Duke787 Apr 25, 2017 8:54 pm

Great promo and quite pleased to see no gap in promotion as the month turns too.

I have a stay at the Hilton Kensington in London from 8/28-9/3. Does anyone know if I will get double points for the first three nights if I check out after the 31st? Do I need to break it into two 3-day reservations to make it work?
