Hilton Honors has brought back a promotion it has run with Qatar Airways Privilege Club in the past, so, once again, Hilton Honors members can earn bonus Avios on an upcoming Hilton stay. Better yet, this time around you can earn 1,000 Avios instead of the 500 Avios on offer last time out.
Key terms
- This Qatar Airways 2026 Booking Incentive Promotion offers eligible Hilton Honors members the opportunity to earn 1,000 bonus Avios for a qualifying stay completed during the promotion period.
- The promotion is valid for stays completed between 1 June 2026 and 31 August 2026.
- Stays may commence before 1 June 2026, provided that the stay is completed on or after 1 June 2026 and no later than 31 August 2026.
- Eligible members must register for the promotion between 1 June 2026 and 31 August 2026 (inclusive) via the official Promotion landing page (here).
- The Promotion is open to individuals who, at the time of registration and stay completion:
- Members will earn 1,000 bonus Avios once the first qualifying stay is completed during the Promotion Period.
- The Promotion applies only to the first qualifying stay completed during the Promotion Period.
- Only stays booked through Hilton direct booking channels qualify.
- The Promotion applies only to participating hotels and resorts within the Hilton portfolio.
- Not all Hilton-branded properties participate.
- Group bookings, including bookings made under group, tour series, or negotiated group rates, are excluded.
- Members must add their Qatar Airways Privilege Club membership number as their preferred travel partner in their Hilton Honors account prior to check out of the first qualifying stay; and the name on the Hilton Honors account, hotel booking, and Qatar Airways Privilege Club account must match.

Quick thoughts
There’s nothing to dislike here and this should be an easy way to pick up 1,000 Avios for very little effort (assuming you plan to complete a Hilton stay by 31 August 2026).
Importantly, there’s no points sacrifice for anyone who participates in this promotion as the 1,000 bonus Avios are awarded on top of the usual Hilton Honors points that are awarded for stays, so Hilton Honors members are not giving anything up by participating.
Keep in mind that the promotional bonus is strictly capped at one bonus per member per stay – only one stay will earn the bonus and two members on the same booking cannot both collect the bonus.
Aldo, if you’re going to participate, remember that to qualify, you have to (a) register, (b) set Qatar Airways as your “preferred partner” on your Hilton Honors travel preferences page (account -> profile -> travel preferences), and (c) check out by 31 August 2026.
Bottom line
This Hilton Honors/Qatar Airways Privilege Club promotion should be any easy way for quite a few readers to pick up 1,000 bonus Avios on their next Hilton stay as there’s no disadvantage to joining in.
Anyone with a potential Hilton stay on the horizon between now and the end of August should take the time to set up their accounts and complete the registration steps on the Hilton website to ensure they do not leave free miles on the table (it shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes).
