Quick Thoughts
Hilton more or less runs non-stop promotions year-round and this one begins right as the Summer Promo ends. This will be an extremely easy promotion to use, as there’s no minimum stay or night requirement: all stays will be eligible at all Hilton properties. The double base points are nice, adding another 4% in return based on current RRV’s, but that’s more or less the starting point for most Hilton promos these days.
The 2,000 points M-F kicker has the potential to be more lucrative, primarily for folks who might have multiple, short, midweek stays (looking at you, road warriors).
Let’s say you have a one-night midweek stay during the promotion at a property that costs $150. If you’re a Hilton Aspire cardholder, you’ll earn:
- 10 points per dollar (base points)
- 10 points per dollar (bonus points for Diamond status)
- 10 points per dollar (bonus points from this promotion)
- 14 points per dollar (bonus points earned by paying with the Aspire card)
- 2,000 points for M-F checkout
Grand total: 8,600 or 57 points per dollar.
57 points represents a hefty 22.8% return. It’s worth noting that the promotion is at its most valuable on inexpensive, one-night stays with a M-F checkout. The more expensive the property gets, the more diluted the 2,000 point kicker is. For stays with a Saturday/Sunday, it’s effectively a straight 10x bonus (or 4% if using RRV’s).
If you are planning on staying with Hilton during the last 1/3 of the year, or even if you think there’s a chance that you will, this promotion is certainly worth registering for. It’s probably not enough to make me change any stays though, unless they’re of the short, midweek variety.
