Hampton Double Dipping?
Few days ago, I had to evacuate my house on Sesta Key when it was almost certain that Charley will be visiting us. Somehow I got lucky and was able to secure a room at an inland Hampton Inn. I have not been with Hilton for few months now, but I'm still Gold till next March, and as I have not stayed at a Hampton for a very long time I really don't know all the rules for Double Dipping.
Anyway, No Charley
^ here, back home after only 1 night stay, and today received my points and miles for my stay. The rate was $89. Received 890 points plus 25% Gold bonus and 89 miles???? Isn't there a minimum?, like 250 or 500 miles? or is it just 1 mile per $ spend?
Thanks

Check your profile to see what you have checked off as your choices. You have the option of double dipping with a set number of miles (100 for Hampton and 500 for all other Hilton product), or you can select to double dipp with 1 mile per dollar spent. I also have noticed that after the posting for my stay, my account will refelct and indicate the 1 mile per dollar option. But when it does post to my Airline account, I do get the 100 or 500 miles, depending on my Hotel selection.

Thanks. That was it. I was set for 1 point per $. Changed it as I do have some cheap stays with Hilton coming up.
I don't think I'm ready to fight for 11 miles. , so I'll just let it go.

Southwest Airlines credits are the way to go with Hampton Inn, you get .5 flight credits per stay, same as all other Hilton chains.
