- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What counts as a “stay”?
A “stay” is defined as one or more consecutive nights spent at the same hotel.
There seem to be a lot of confusion among travellers who are new to hotel loyalty programs, so, allow me to share some examples that should clear all your doubts:
Example 1: Making 2 bookings at the same hotel, with back-to-back dates
Say you booked a 1-night stay at Hotel A and decided to extend the stay by booking another 1-night stay. Because the nights spent in the same hotel are consecutive, it will only count as 1 stay, even if you physically check out and check back in a few hours later.
Example 2: Making 2 bookings at the different hotels, with back-to-back dates
Say you booked a 1-night stay at Hotel A. Immediately after checking out from Hotel A, you then decided to book a night at Hotel B. Because you are not spending consecutive nights in the same hotel, it will count as 2 stays.
Example 3: Making 2 bookings at the same hotel, without back-to-back dates
Say you booked a 1-night stay at Hotel A on 1st June and checked out on 2nd June. You then booked another stay in the same hotel on 3rd June and checked out on 4th June. Because the nights in the same hotel are not consecutive (you slept elsewhere on the night of 2nd June), it will count as 2 stays.
Example 4: Making 2 bookings at different hotels, on the same night
Say you booked a 1-night stay at Hotel A on 1st June, and made another booking at Hotel B on the same day. Because there is no way that a member can sleep in 2 beds at the same time, the system will automatically count your bookings as 1 stay.
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.
Fixed-points promotions like these are more rewarding on cheaper and shorter stays, as the amount of bonus points are applied on a per-stay basis, regardless of how much you spend and the amount of nights at the property.
Due to ever-increasing award rates across most Hilton properties, I value Hilton points at just 0.3 cents (USD) each. At this valuation, I’d receive US$7.50 worth of bonus points on my Hilton stays during this promo period; a really weak offer.
Bottom line
Hilton Honors members can now register for an upcoming promotion to earn 2,500 bonus points per stay.
At my current valuation, 2,500 points is worth a mere US$7.50; hardly enough reason to spend more nights in Hilton properties in the coming months.
