Hilton just launched their latest ‘Resort Escapes’ promotion. You can get a free night certificate after five night contiguous stay at any of the more than 100 participating properties or two certificates after ten night stay. Alternatively you can complete two five night resort stays. This promotion is valid from December 1st, 2011 to April 30th, 2012. The free night certificate(s) are valid for 6 months after earning them.
This promotion is nice because you don’t have to hotel hop. The current free night certificate promotion is for a free night after every four stays or ten nights. It encourages people to switch hotels every night if they wish to maximize the number of free night certificates earned.
You need to sign up for the promo in order to earn the free night certificate(s). http://hhonors1.hilton.com/en_US/hh/landing/resort_escapes/index.do. Note that these certificates are valid at all properties. Not just those resort ones where you can earn them.
For earning the free night certificates, the Hilton resorts in Egypt are most likely the most reasonably priced ones. Redemption wise the best value are the properties in Maldives, New York city, or any of the more expensive European locations. The “value” that I personally would assess to a free night certificate is around $200.
Participating hotels where the five or ten night stay must occure for earning the free night certificate:
