Tags: Hilton Honors, Hilton, promotion, hotel, loyalty program, promo

Type: Promotion

Expires: Dec 31, 2026

## Summary

Registered Hilton Honors members earn 3,000 bonus points for each stay completed from October 15 through December 31, 2026, at one of 803 luxury and lifestyle hotels, and 1,000 points at all other properties.

Members must register on Hilton's More Points to Play page before completing a stay. Checking in before October 15 still qualifies when checkout falls inside the window. Checking out after December 31 does not. Award stays count. Consecutive nights at the same hotel count as one stay even if the guest checks out and back in. There is no cap on the promotional bonus. The extra points post in 6-8 weeks and do not count toward elite qualification.

Some rates and group bookings are ineligible under standard Honors accrual rules. The bonus cannot be stacked with certain other Hilton offers. Some brands cap base points on a single stay. Non-members can join free and register at the same time.

Register before checkout on any stay already booked in that window. Do not add nights just for 1,000 or 3,000 extra points.
