I would love for Lauren to answer this question...I just signed up for the "3x Points for Your Next Stay" promo. That offer is active as of now until March 2020. I was already planning on doing a mattress run in late May to qualify as my 1st stay for the "Go more, Get More" promo. I was going to do my second stay for the Conrad Koh Samui in July...
My question is that if I do my 1st stay in late May, will that qualify for the "3x Points for Your Next Stay" promo AND the 1st stay for the "Go More, Get More" promo? I need verification...

Never mind! I googled and found it. It says targeted but I was able to register. Excellent question. I wonder if you could unregister and then register later for the 3X, if it is an issue.

Exactly. I don't understand why they keep doing these stay-based promotions. Incentivizing stay-splitting and hotel-hopping has several results that I would think would be undesirable to Hilton. For example:
1) Checking guests in and out requires incremental labor and housekeeping expense

I think Hilton is just trying to be fair - do some stuff that is good for stay-centric guests.

Couldnt find an answer to this
Parents are visiting for a weekend at a Hilton, booked under my fathers HHonors number. If I add myself to the reservation (and show up at the hotel with them) will I get credit for a stay bonus?
Id like to have a stay before I have a 2k cash stay in a week for the double points bonus

A more convincing answer might be: I did exactly what you are going to do. Got triple points on my mattress run, received a Hilton marketing e-mail You've unlocked DOUBLE POINTS a couple of days later. It has even got a fancy animated Gif I won't post here, because it wouldn't look as nice without the e-mail frame.

Anyone know what will happen with the promo in this scenario?
I'm going to a work convention so I have a 7 night stay coming up (it will be a second stay). The room was initially booked through a hotel booking company that handles all bookings for the convention plus offers a convention rate discount. Two weeks prior to the stay the website turns the bookings directly over to the hotel (if I have any changes after that I go through the hotel). Plus, the hotel charges me directly, not the booking company. Will my stay count for the promo?
I looked at the FAQ for this promo and didn't find an answer. The closest I got is a link on the FAQ that states terms of eligibility. The only thing I could find that might be a thing was this:
"Specifically excluded from the definition of "stay" are the following types of ineligible stays:
NET Group rates;
Series Group or IT Group rates;
contracted Entertainment or Encore rates"
I don't know what any of the above really means. :/ Anyone know if my stay will get me the promo?

Actual points tally
I had a message confirming 40 night threshold reached for 10000 points but like last year this does not show on my profile. Is there any way to actually view the running total of points with Hilton. It is frustrating that this is missing on both the app and windows.

Since you claim that this “made no sense”, how did you become aware of - and verify - that the negotiated rate between his company and HH for that specific stay didn’t preclude the awarding of HH points?

Good grief, someone ate their grumpy berries for breakfast. It was last summer, and my husband spent all of 30 seconds on the phone as he has 100 more important things to do then attempt to track down HH points. That is what he mentioned to me was the reason. If I do remember correctly, I think everything on the reservation was corporate name and corporate address, paid for with someone's corporate card. His name may have been buried on the reservation, and he gave them his HH number when he checked in, and maybe it didn't even get in the system. I'm sure now if I had called the diamond desk I could have gotten it figured out but that was before we were truly savvy on all things Hilton.

Honestly, I think many things with Hilton are a complete crapshoot. I'm sitting here now with 700K Hilton points - and I often find little consistency. Half the time hotel restaurant meals give us points, the other half of the time we don't. Sometimes we get the correct amount of bonus points, sometimes we don't. Good thing we both got the 3X deal on the first May stays and on the second stays got the 2X points. For that I thank this board - it is a great place to get the heads up on deals. I also appreciate this board for excellent hotel recommendations.
