Hilton Honors and Qatar Airways Privilege Club are out with a new promotion whereby members can link up their accounts and earn a bonus 1,000 Qatar Privilege Club Avios after their first Hilton hotel booking between June 1st and August 31st, 2026. This isn’t a huge bonus, but you may as well earn it if you’ve got a Hilton stay coming up.
The Deal
- Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Hilton Honors are offering a promotion whereby members can register and stay at any Hilton hotel or resort by August 31st, 2026 to earn 1,000 bonus Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios.

Key Terms
- This Qatar Airways 2026 Booking Incentive Promotion (the “Promotion”) offers eligible Hilton Honors members the opportunity to earn 1,000 bonus Avios for a qualifying stay completed during the Promotion Period, subject to these Terms & Conditions.
- The Promotion is valid for stays completed between 1 June 2026 and 31 August 2026 (inclusive) (the “Promotion Period”). 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. Registration alone does not entitle a member to bonus Avios unless all eligibility requirements set out below are satisfied.
- The Promotion is open to individuals who, at the time of registration and stay completion:
- are active members of Hilton Honors; and
- are active members of Qatar Airways Privilege Club (together, “Members”).
The Promotion is void where prohibited by law, and either Hilton or Qatar Airways reserve the right to exclude any individual whose participation would breach applicable laws or regulations.
Qualifying Stays
- 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.
- A “stay” is defined as the total number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel or resort, regardless of whether the guest checks out and checks back in.
- 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.
Account linking and name matching
To be eligible for bonus Avios:
- 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.
Neither Qatar Airways nor Hilton is responsible for errors arising from incorrect, incomplete, or mismatched account details provided by the Member.
Avios Awarding
- Bonus Avios will be credited to the Member’s Qatar Airways Privilege Club account within up to eight (8) weeks following completion of the qualifying stay.
- The awarding, use, and redemption of Avios are governed exclusively by the Qatar Airways Privilege Club Terms and Conditions.
- Bonus Avios awarded under this Promotion are non-transferable, have no cash value, and may not be exchanged for cash or other consideration.
Quick Thoughts
While 1,000 Qatar Airways Avios likely won’t move the needle in terms of deciding where to stay for your upcoming trip, it makes sense to register for this if you’ve already got a Hilton stay booked or are planning to book one. Keep in mind that Avios can be moved between the various airlines that use the Avios currency. Unlike most airline miles, which typically can’t be transferred to another airline, Avios can be moved between Qatar Airways and other Avios programs, including British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, and Loganair. That means you can take advantage of the best sweet spots from whichever Avios program meets your needs for a particular booking.
Again, the 1,000 Avios on offer here won’t get you much on their own, but you get a lot of flexibility in how to put them to use with other existing miles or points that you have. It’s worth registering for this promotion even if you don’t have immediate plans to stay at Hilton, just in case you end up staying at one unexpectedly. It’s always a nice surprise when you forget that you even registered, and then you earn some bonus points after the stay.
You do not need to choose between earning Avios and earning Hilton Honors points. You should still earn Hilton Honors points as you ordinarily would. The 1,000 Avios are purely a bonus in this case.
