Registrations for Hilton’s newest global promotion are now open. Note that the current Power Up promotion offering up to 3x points continues until the end of the year. If you have a stay booked in this period, the bonus points will be awarded based on the current promotion.

The new promotion dubbed Points Unlimited starts on 1st January 2022 and goes through 1st May 2022. During this time, registered Hilton Honors members will earn flat 2,500 bonus points per stay.

In the hotel industry parlance, a stay is defined as one check-in and one check-out. For instance, if you were to make a booking for 3 consecutive single night stays – that will still only count as 1 stay.

All Hilton properties worldwide are participating in the promotion. If you want a slice of the bonus points pie, register here.

Earning Points with Hilton

All Hilton Honors member earn 10x points regardless of their status in the Honors program. Elite members are then awarded bonus points based on the level of their status.

Specifically :

• Diamond members earn 100% bonus points which equates to 20x points or 20 points per $
• Gold members earn 80% bonus points which equates to 18x points or 18 points per $
• Silver members earn 20% bonus points which equates to 12x points or 12 points per $

One thing to be aware of, particularly for members outside United States is that points are awarded based on US$ spending. Further, fees and taxes are excluded and do not count towards earning points.

In Conclusion

On one hand its nice that Hilton offers non-stop bonus points earning opportunity to its members without even a single days gap, something its peer and bigger rival Marriott refuses to do. That said, the new promotion is pretty lacklustre.

A paltry 2,500 points per stay is ok if you make cheap 1-night stays frequently, but for those planning a splurge at high end properties over longer stays, the promotion is not nearly rewarding enough.
