Take advantage of these Hilton promotions for bonus points and double elite night credit

Editors note: This post has been updated with new information.

Right now, there are two Hilton Honors promotions that let you earn more points and double elite nights on stays through the end of the year.

Let’s review the current Hilton promotions that should be on your radar so you can maximize your end-of-the-year travel.

Double your stay

Hilton members can earn double points on all eligible stays, plus 2,000 points per stay when they check out Monday through Friday. This promotion runs from Sept. 6 through Dec. 31. Members can register here.

Let’s assume you’re a Hilton Honors Diamond elite member and check in to a Hilton Garden Inn property on a Monday for a three-night stay that costs $600 total before taxes. Here’s what you’ll earn:

10 base points per $1: 6,000 points.
Double points promotion: 6,000 points.
Diamond elite 100% bonus: 6,000 points.
Check out on a Thursday: 2,000 points.
Total: 20,000 points.

That’s a pretty impressive return on your hotel bill, and if you have Hilton status and pay for your Hilton stay with a Hilton cobranded American Express card, you stand to earn even more points. Just make sure you register for this promotion before your stay. We recommend registering even if you don’t have upcoming Hilton stays so that you’ll earn the bonus if a stay comes up at the last minute.

Double Your Nights

Another enticing offer is the new Double Your Nights promotion.

Every night you stay between now and Dec. 31 will count as two nights. This in turn will help you maintain or even boost your elite status tier twice as fast. Additionally, every night will also count as two nights toward Milestone Bonuses and Rollover Nights, so this could help you earn extra Hilton points or get a head start on next year’s elite status qualification.

There is also no limit to the total amount of double night credits that may be earned during the promotion period with this offer. Members can register here.

New-member bonus

Besides offering bonus points to existing members, Hilton offers extra points to new members.

Anyone who signs up for a new Honors account through Dec. 31 can earn up to 4,500 bonus points: They will earn 1,500 after their first stay and an additional 3,000 after their second stay within six months of joining the program.

Bottom line

Hilton is rewarding those who are heading back out into the world with ways to earn more points for their stays. Thanks to these bonus points and double elite night promotions, you can earn some very high returns on your upcoming Hilton stays and work toward maintaining or boosting your elite status for next year.
