I had a stay which overlapped both the Q1 and Q2 promotion. One night of the stay from 1-2 May was eligible for the Double Points promotion. The bonus points were calculated over the average rate for the stay, but that particular night was more expensive than the other nights. Is this correct or should the bonus points be calculated over the rate of the individual night?

I've finished a stay on 3-4 May, the points for the stay have been posted but it's missing the double points promotion.
and the promo also doesn't appear on my account page :-/

I was on the phone with a Hilton Rep on a different matter and she automatically enrolled me for this promotion. I am staying at a Hilton in Orlando and have a couple of nights set up in June. Thanks Hilton Honors!!!

I had a couple of stays during the last two weeks and this offer is very lucrative I find.
For example, I booked two nights at the Hilton Knoxville for $144 a night (2x points price, about $8 more than the regular rate) and could yield 10955 points for the two nights.

But the offer doesn't double the 2x amount does it? So assuming no tax the $144 gets an extra 1440 HH, same as any other time. Many would value that at $8 or so for your $8 spend...

I think you would get: 2880 base + 2880 Diamond elite + 2880 promo + 2880 2x rate + 1000 My Way points for 12,520.

Exactly, or, as in my case, the Gold equivalent.

Yes, I think so too. I was doing per night, and you've done the calculation for the two night stay, so $16 extra for 2X rate is gaining 2880 HH. Useful if you want the points at that rate. I don't, but just wanted to check I wasn't misunderstanding. ^
