Hilton for Business launched at the beginning of 2024 and since then we’ve seen the program offer a variety of promotions to encourage engagement (there was a good double elite nights promo last year and there was a 5,000 bonus points/night promo that ended last month).

Hilton for Business
This is how Hilton describes the program:
Hilton for Business is a self-service program created for small and medium businesses to seamlessly book corporate travel with a discounted rate, earn Hilton Honors Points, and gain access to exclusive tools.
• Business travelers enjoy a simple and efficient way to book their stays at participating Hilton hotels worldwide while earning the powerful Honors Points and benefits that Hilton provides.
• Your business earns bonus Hilton Honors Points with each stay booked with the Hilton for Business rate and completed by your employees participating in the program.
• Account owners and administrators can view business travel booked through Hilton for Business, manage members, and more.
Effectively, it’s Hilton’s version of the Hyatt Leverage program (just not as good).
Who can join?
This is a program aimed at small and medium businesses around the world, so you’ll need to have a business email address to participate.
Hilton will send a verification code to this email address before you can fully register, and the terms and conditions are clear in saying that free email addresses (e.g. Gmail or Yahoo will not be accepted).
All applicants to the program must be members of the Hilton Honors program and once a business is registered, the business owner can invite employees to join and set up account administrators.
Employees must be able to provide an email address attached to the business’ domain, but this email address does not have to be the same as the address attached to their Hilton Honors accounts.
It’s worth noting that Hilton seems to take note of who’s attempting to register for its business program as registrations isn’t always automatic.
This is the message we saw when registering:
It’s unclear what ‘additional details’ Hilton will be checking to verify the account, but that should act as a warning to anyone thinking of signing up using false credentials.

The benefits
- Access to an exclusive discounted rate at any participating Hilton hotel worldwide. Not only can this rate offer savings over other rates that Hilton offers, but it can also be more flexible. This rate is offered on the booking page so members can compare the value it offers to the other available rates.
- A business that enrolls in Hilton for Business program will receive 7,500 bonus Hilton Honors bonus points after any enrolled employee (or business owner) completes their first stay on an eligible rate
- For every 10 nights that enrolled members book using an eligible rate, the business will receive 5,000 Hilton Honors bonus points.
- Employees and business owners continue to earn Hilton Honors points and elite status credits in their personal accounts as usual.
Be aware that any points earned with through the Hilton for Business program are deposited in the business’ account and from there, must be transferred to an individual member for redemption. The business cannot redeem the points.
The current Diamond Elite fast track promotion
This is just about as simple as hotel fast track promotions get and there’s very little that anyone needs to do:
Complete 10 nights at the Hilton for Business rate by 15 December 2025 to earn Diamond status through 31 March 2027.
There’s no need to register for this promotion as your Hilton for Business bookings will be automatically applied to the Fast Track promotion.
Key terms of the promotion
- This offer is only valid for registered Hilton for Business members that currently have Member, Silver, or Gold Hilton Honors tier status.
- Members will have a 90-day period complete 10 Hilton for Business rate nights to earn Diamond status. Those that achieve the 10 qualifying nights will maintain Hilton Honors Diamond tier status until March 31, 2027.
- Offer valid for Hilton for Business rate nights completed between September 15, 2025, through December 15, 2025.
- Any Hilton for Business rate nights that do not take place during the Promotion Period will not count toward the Diamond status fast track offer.
- Once a member obtains Diamond status, the Member may keep such status through March 31, 2027. Full details of Member status will be sent to the Member upon attaining the tier level.
- You must be a Hilton Honors member to participate or join Hilton Honors at the time of registering for the Promotion.
- Not valid for current employees of Hilton.
- Standard tier requirements must be met to maintain Diamond Status following the requalification period on March 31, 2027.
Quick thoughts
There are three key things to keep in mind here.
Firstly, if you have access to US credit cards, the cheapest way to enjoy Hilton Diamond Elite status is to hold the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card which comes with a $550 annual fee and a whole host of benefits to help you claw back so (or all) of that cost.
Secondly, unlike some other Hilton for Business promotions we’ve seen, this promotion requires a registered member to book using a Hilton for Business rate which will probably not be the cheapest rate available (although it will probably be a flexible rate).
Make sure you keep this in mind when making any bookings as nights booked using other rates or using Hilton Honors points will not count towards the 10 nights target.
Thirdly, if you don’t have access to US credit cards, this may be the easiest path to top-tier Hilton status that you see for some time, so it’s worth taking a bit of time to consider if signing up to Hilton for Business and taking on this challenge could be a good move.
Keep in mind that if you hold elite status with another hotel program, haven’t done a Hilton fast track status challenge before (or in the last few years), and don’t want to join or can’t join Hilton for Business, you could participate in the regular Diamond challenge (14 nights in 90 days), but that is likely to end up costing you more than the Hilton for Business route.

Bottom line
The Hilton for Business program has launched a new promotion in which it’s offering all members of the program the opportunity to earn top-tier Diamond Elite status simply by paying the Hilton for Business rate and staying 10 nights at Hilton properties between today and 15 December 2025.
