Unsurprisingly, Hilton Points are on sale again (get 5 nights in the Maldives for...
Hilton is back with yet another mystery points sale just a couple of weeks after the last points sale ended, so it's probably time that we stop thinking of these events as 'sales' and start thinking of the times when a sale isn't on as an aberration.
These are the major 4Q 2024 hotel promotions from Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Marriott
Now that we're into October and into the fourth quarter of 2024, there's a good chance that we're not going to see any more major hotel promotions announced before the end of the year and with that in mind, here are all the big promotions from Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Marriott that cover some or all of the period between now and 31 December 2024.
Earn 10,000 bonus Hilton points when you spend with Delta [Targeted]
There's a noticeable dearth of new travel offers in our Amex accounts, but one targeted offer that caught our eye this morning is for Hilton Honors co-branded card holders who can now earn 10,000 bonus Hilton points when they spend at least $300 with Delta.
Now live: Hilton’s final big promotion for 2024 (register now)
Hilton’s final big global promotion of 2024 was announced back in the middle of August but it didn't go live until today. It runs through to 31 December 2024 and if you want to make sure you take part (or accidentally miss out on points), now would be a good time to register.
These are the current Hilton Honors status match promotions
In recent years we've seen some very generous status match promotions from Hilton with the requirements for top-tier Diamond Elite status reduced to just 9 or 12 nights.
Hilton's current status match promotions aren't quite as generous, but they're still pretty good, and if you don't have access to credit cards that offers Hilton elite status as a benefit, these promotions may offer you the easiest route to more comfortable and rewarding stays with Hilton.

How to pool Hilton Honors points (it’s free!)
Unlike most hotel loyalty programs, Hilton has allowed its members to pool points for several years. There's no fee to pool Hilton Honors points and up to 11 people can participate in the pooling, so this is definitely something all Hilton Honors members should be aware of.
How to earn Hilton Honors points when you book rides with Lyft (limited-time 1,500...
Lyft currently partners with four loyalty programs and its partnership with Hilton dates back to 2019. For most people, this is probably Lyft's most rewarding partnership and it allows Hilton Honors members to earn points on rides booked in the United States and Canada.
Here's everything you need to know about the Hilton/Lyft partnership.
Hilton London Canary Wharf review
Continuing our recent run of London hotel reviews, today's review takes a look at the Hilton London Canary Wharf which sits in a eastern area of the city and in one of London's two financial centers.
Hilton’s second global promotion for 2024 is now live
Hilton's first major promotion of 2024 ended yesterday and in true Hilton fashion, its second global promotion of the year went live earlier today. This latest promotion runs to 2 September 2024 and, thankfully, is noticeably better than the one it is replacing.
BIG NEWS: Hilton & Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) agree a new...
Hilton and Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) have announced a new partnership which as the press release puts it, will 'dramatically expand the luxury experiences offered by Hilton' and will see SLH properties participating in the Hilton Honors program.
The hotel points game is alive and well, you just have to play harder
At the risk of sounding old, I'm going to say that the miles & points game was a lot easier 15 years ago. Back then, most travel loyalty programs still had fixed award charts, international flight upgrades weren't rarer than unicorns, hotels didn't (usually) play games with elite benefits, and 'Bonvoy' wasn't a verb.
Hilton’s free night certificates will now be usable every day of the week
Three of Hilton's co-branded credit cards have, historically, allowed cardholders to earn free night certificates that could be used at any Hilton property in the world...but only on weekends. Now, however, it looks like Hilton is turning a temporary, pandemic-induced enhancement into a permanent enhancement and making the certificates considerably more valuable.
How to edit or disable Hilton’s two-factor authentication
Hilton seems to be using two-factor authentication a lot more of late and that may or may not suit all the Hilton Honors members out there. If you're in the position of needing to change or disable your two-factor authentication settings, this article will show you just how easy that is to do.
Which major hotel loyalty programs offer Lifetime Elite status?
Hotel elite status can be both vastly overrated and extremely useful depending on which status level and which hotel program we're discussing, and people's opinions can vary quite significantly. But, as a rule, having status is better than not having status so people will go to varying degrees of effort to maintain their hotel privileges from year to year.
Mistake Or Deliberate? Did Hilton Just Roll Back Some Positive Changes?
At the beginning of last year, Hilton made a few small but customer-friendly changes to the terms and conditions of its Hilton Honors loyalty program but for reasons that are as yet unclear, these changes appear to have been rolled back.
A Workaround To See Your Rollover Nights On The Hilton App
As seems to happen at the beginning of every year, the Hilton Honors website and app don't appear to be showing travelers the number of nights that they have rolled over from the previous year, their current progress to elite status, or their progress to the next milestone reward, but a Loyalty Lobby reader appears to have found a workaround that may help some readers get around this issue.
All Hilton Diamond Elites will be able to gift elite status for 2021
Hilton Honors has announced that from next week it will be extending a "one-time opportunity" to its Diamond and Lifetime Diamond Elite status holders which will allow them to gift status for one year to a family member or friend.
All 2020 Hilton Elite Nights Will Rollover Into 2021
Over the weekend we saw Marriott's bonus elite nights dropping into members' Bonvoy accounts but Hilton has just upped the ante by announcing that all Hilton Honors elite nights earned in 2020 will rollover into 2021 making Hilton elite status a whole lot easier to earn next year.
Hilton Isn’t Changing Diamond Status Benefits (For Now)
At the beginning of the week, there was a rumor circulating that Hilton Honors may be in the process of withdrawing a benefit that is considered among the most valuable by its top-tier Diamond status holders but based on a recent update, those fears were unfounded.
So What If Hilton Has Added Another 120,000 Point/Night Property?
A few years back Hilton Honors decided that the practice of publishing award charts was a bad idea as it gave customers a lot more information than Hilton wanted to them to have, and although that's certainly not how Hilton framed their award chart elimination, that's certainly why you'll no longer find them on Hilton.com.
Hilton Honors Says Its Expanding Its Lineup Of “Extraordinary Experiences”
Over the past few years hotel loyalty programs have expanded the ways in which members can use their points and one of the biggest areas of expansion has been in the field of entertainment. Starwood Preferred Guest (RIP) was the first hotel program to bring its entertainment offering to my attention with SPG Moments and Marriott added 'Marriott Moments' (now Bonvoy Moments) as it began to integrate Starwood into its portfolio.
I Have Lifetime Status With Marriott But I May Defect To Hilton
I have been a Marriott loyalist for as long as I can remember and I recently earned the highest level of lifetime status that Marriott has on offer....but I'm seriously considering a move across to Hilton.
I Don’t Understand What Hilton Is Doing With Its Loyalty Program
Hilton has been putting through a number of changes to its Honors loyalty program recently and, having sat back and taken a look at what's been happening, I'm not sure I understand what Hilton is up to. From where I'm sitting it would appear as if a large portion of the chain's customers no longer have all that much incentive to make more stays at Hilton properties than they may otherwise have done....and isn't that what the Honors program is supposed to encourage?
Did Hilton Honors Lie To Members Or Is Something Else Going On?
It should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone when I say that you should never take at face value anything a loyalty program representative says/types when they announce something. Loyalty programs have been lying to members for as long as I can remember and, while the person delivering the message may not be aware that he/she is lying, someone high up inside the loyalty program always knows exactly what they're doing.
Big Devaluation In Hilton “5th Night Free” Benefit
I'm certainly not going to put myself forward as an expert on all things Hilton but a recent change Hilton has made to the wording of how its "5th Night Free" benefit works reads like a massive devaluation to me.
Hilton Is Changing Its Best Price Guarantee
All of the big hotel chains offer some sort of a "best price guarantee" but, as the hotel chains have started to use any excuse to weasel out of their own guarantee, they have become more of a marketing gimmick than an actual benefit to customers. Hilton is the latest of the big-chain hotels to change its best price guarantee and, as long as you can get the chain to honor it, the change could be a positive one for a lot of travelers.
