Yes. This is much better than last year's 2K BA Avios per stay; which capped out after 5 stays. I wasn't sure how they were going to tag this as there is no longer a points+miles earnings option. But when I went to the "preferences" section of my account, my M&M number is still listed on there as being the prefered airline partner. So I guess once you are registered, it will trigger the bonus automatically after completing each stay... hopefully.

Does anyone know how quickly the points move across to your miles and more account? I had my first batch of 2,500 post to my Hilton account this morning, but they aren’t showing in M&M?
Presumably hilton do a bulk transfer every now and then?

I have six stays (mostly in Hampton Inn properties) during the promotion.
i have no idea what I would use 15k M&M for... I mostly fly WN and AS. But I hate to leave the points on the table if they don’t cost me earning any other points.
Is there a downside here? Ideas on what I can do with 15k M&M?

+1 for no miles on an award stay, but I did get a 5K "resort" bonus that was also supposed to be paid stays only. YMMV...

There is a small lag between posting on Hilton account and posting on your LH account

if you can’t update the reservation in advance just ask at the front desk to change/add it. As long as it is on your receipt when you check out you should get the miles.

I just did this at Hilton Dublin. With the second attempt upon checkout my AA default number was changed to LH.

Is there a way to check out availability and costs in miles and more without having the miles first? Seems as though you have to have 7000 miles before it lets you see anythkng

It’s definitely confusing!
I entered my 15 digit M&M number and set LH as my preferred travel partner. Odd thing is, I’ve done 2 stays since the promotion started and no miles yet! HHonors line said it may take up to 6 weeks to credit the miles, although not sure I believe that!

I've had one stay go through OK but the second one failed. Tried to retroclaim by e-mail but the agents did not understand what I was on about. Tried to fob me off with various bits of irrelevant nonsense (e.g. "We regret that we cannot add miles for your stay as the Earning Style Option has already been discontinued on April 2, 2018".
In the end they said that they can't add the miles and I need to phone. Unfortunately I am deaf and not able to use the phone. Any suggestions as to how I can get this done?

If I book two rooms, do I get miles for both rooms? Or only per booking? Because I am not so au fait with the Hilton program, I am not even sure if I get points for booking two rooms, or points for just one of the rooms.
