Hilton’s 4th-Quarter Promotion: Double, Quadruple Points

When my most recent roundup of current hotel promotions published, Hilton hadn’t yet announced its fourth-quarter bonus offer.

Here it is …

Offer Details

Between October 12 and December 30, Hilton HHonors members will earn double base points for all stays, or quadruple base points if the qualifying stay includes a Sunday night.

Registration is required.

Deal or No Deal

If you’re already a Hilton loyalist, the double-points bonus is icing on the cake.

But with double points on offer from several other hotel groups—Best Western, InterContinental, Starwood—Hilton’s offer isn’t a difference-maker unless the stay includes a Sunday night and the quadruple points kick in. And even with quadruple points, there may be more compelling offers from other hotel groups.

The promotions from Choice and Marriott, for example, feature a free night after two stays.

Bottom line: Shop around.
