Hilton Honors has announced its Summer promotion of 2024, which will run between May 2, 2024 and September 2, 2024. Members who register will earn double points on all stays during the promotion period.
There is no minimum stay or night requirement for the promotion and all Hilton properties are included.
The Deal
- Hilton Honors will be awarding 2x base points on all stays that occur between May 2, 2024 and September 2, 2024.
- You must register for this promotion.
Key Terms
- Offer valid for stays completed May 2 – September 2, 2024 (“Promotion Period”) at any hotel or resort within the Hilton Portfolio.
- Hilton Honors™ members must first register at HiltonHonors.com/DoublePoints prior to completing a stay within the Promotion Period.
- Registered Hilton Honors members checking in before May 2, 2024 will receive Bonus Points for their stay if the stay is completed on or after May 2, 2024 and prior to or on September 2, 2024.
- Registered Hilton Honors members will earn Double Points per stay during the Promotion Period. “Double Points” means members will receive Bonus Points equal to the number of Base Points earned during a stay.
- There is no limit to the total amount of Bonus Points that may be earned during the Promotion Period with this offer. However, there are restrictions on the number of Base Points that can be earned on a single stay at certain brands.
Quick Thoughts
This new Hilton promo will be extremely easy 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 4.8% in return based on current RRV’s, but that’s more or less the starting point for most Hilton promos these days.
Let’s say you have a one-night 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)
Grand total: 6,600 or 44 points per dollar. That represents a pretty decent return of ~20%.
If you are planning on staying with Hilton during the Summer, 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 of my stays though.

Thanks for the breakdown on points. I’ll skip this offer and use my Hilton points instead.

In your example, the promo portion is only 1.5k pts, right? Compare to the previous promo ended last month, the new one is pretty weak. We used to earn 2k (or 2.5k when digital key was used, but I’ve never been to the one that used it during the promo period) per stay flat. With my simple math, it finally gets at par with the previous promo when the subtotal per stay reaches $200.
Yes, I agree. This is no more than a 5 on the “meh” to “yeah” scale.
Is this valid on award stays too using points?
Yes, but since it’s double base points, you obviously wouldn’t be earning anything on the room rate.
Thank you for the breakdown! I always struggle to figure out how many points I’ll get with the Aspire card. But what if you book a 2x rate room? Would it be 20, 20, 20 and 14???
No, you’d only get bonus points on the base (10/dollar). You don’t earn anything extra fon elite bonuses, promos, 2x rate, etc.
The link says 2023 – is it still the same link for this year?
It was an old link. It’s fixed.
Seems your link is from the Jan-April promo
Fixed.
Well, I got the promotion is now over when I just tried to register…
It was an old link. Try again now.
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but one can’t help but ask why Hilton is extending such a generous offer. Can anyone imagine Hyatt or Marriott doing the same?
For Aspire card holders, the point value is a little higher than not having the card, since when you redeem the points you are getting all the diamond perks.
