Is this a good promotion?

Unlike other hotel loyalty programs like World of Hyatt and Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors tend to run their global promotions back-to-back, which is always great.

However, comparing to the current promotions where members get rewarded with 2X points, 2,000 points on weekdays, as well as double elite nights, this current one is definitely a lot less exciting.

Getting 1,000 points (worth US$4) with each brand makes the promo sound a tiny bit more exciting but I’m not sure why anyone would go out of their way to stay in different Hilton brands just to get US$4 worth of points.

Hilton points are losing value, fast

Award rates at Hilton Honors properties are continuing to increase at an alarming rate and there are not many good redemption opportunities left at good value. Award nights at higher end properties are mostly showing over a million points per night; absolutely ridiculous.

This makes the 2X promotion for paid stays a really weak one, giving you only up to 12% value.

Here are some good uses of Hilton points:

Bottom line

Hilton Honors members can now register for an upcoming promotion to earn 2X points, as well as 1,000 bonus points each time they stay at a different brand within the Hilton portfolio.
