At the end of every year there is a discussion about whether a one night stay on Dec 31 counts as a prior year stay or new year stay and I am pretty sure it has been well documented that its a new year stay and that being the case I can't believe Hilton would have a different way of counting when a stay is in their system based on what we have seen from their IT.

The May 6 - Sep 8 double promo is available now on hhonors. Why would they put it up, with an 'Activate' button now if the registration doesn't begin for 2 more days? Not surprisingly, trying to activate the offer results in an error.

I saw that too, and the Fine Print isn't that fine - for example, they don't answer the constantly burning question of whether award stays count. And if your "first" stay can be an award stay.

Hope Lauren chimes in soon.

Award stays definitely count for the current Points Unlimited promo; it was clearly referenced in the T&C. I have also verified that it works in practice.


What is an eligible stay?
An eligible stay is defined in the Hilton Honors Terms & Conditions under Accrual of Points number 3.

which leads to...

3. Accrual of Points
...If at least one night of the Member's stay is consumed with the use of Hilton Honors Rewards Points, the entire stay is considered a "Reward Stay" and Hilton Honors Points may be earned.

Yes, I stay at a Hilton every year on 12/31 and it always counts for the following year's totals. However, these promotions have not been consistent in this regard. Different promos have been counted differently over the past decade, and the supposedly "clarifying" language in the FAQs doesn't really clarify as we just proved it can be interpreted different ways by intelligent people.

What worked in the current promo does not mean it will be the same in the new promo.

Just to make sure my reading comprehension is correct: If I check out on the 5th of May and completing my 5th stay then I will get the 10k bonus points, right?

Registered Hilton Honors members will receive a bonus only for the nights of an eligible stay 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

No you don't receive the stay bonus. The last day eligible for a stay bonus under this promo is the night of May 4th, with check out on May 5th.

I can confirm because I had a stay from May 5th with check-out on 6th and this stay posted this morning with no bonus.

Exactly.

The question was for 1 night stay 5-6 May, that was not clear. Now is confirmed that such stay is not eligible.

But checkout on 06May would count as the first stay for the newer promo.
