## Summary

Hilton is paying U.S. Hilton Honors American Express cardholders a one-time 10,000-point bonus for one paid stay of at least 3 consecutive nights. Cardholders must register before they book. New bookings must be made from September 28 through November 9, 2026. The stay must be completed by January 3, 2027.

The stay must be paid in full on an eligible cobrand card through Hilton, with the account in good standing and an active Hilton Honors membership. Award nights and Free Night Rewards do not count, and neither do OTA bookings or existing reservations. Group bookings and non-public rates are excluded. Only one room counts. Consecutive stays at the same hotel are treated as a single stay. The bonus can be earned only once. Some hotels may require 7 days of advance purchase. Extended-stay brands including Homewood Suites cap the stay at 13 nights.

The bonus can stack with Hilton's current global stay promotion and with Amex Offers. Points post 6 to 8 weeks after checkout.

Register first, then book a 3-night paid stay on an eligible Hilton American Express card by November 9, 2026 and complete it by January 3, 2027.
