Terms & Conditions
This exclusive offer is open only to the HHonors member who received the email from Hilton HHonors™ announcing this promotion. Offer is not transferable.
I’ve contacted them and all they’ve asked for is a copy of the offer e mail sent to them for proof, so assume all we need is a copy of the e mail from someone to get registered..
Anyone ????
You can always say that you learned from a friend and direct to the landing page on Hilton’s website for this offer.
Just called Customer Care to sign up manually as the online registration didn’t accept me. The representative did not know of the promotion and could not find it in the Promotion Database. She said to give it a few days for it to appear in the database.
I just did the same thing tonight. She couldn’t find anything and said someone called last week as well asking about it and she never knew about it. She asked for a promotion code, which I couldn’t find on the landing page, so no such luck.
John, My feeling is award stays won’t count towards the “stays” for this promo. I just wanted to confirm that this is indeed the case.
“A “stay” is defined as the total number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, whether or not a guest checks out and checks back in again. Specifically excluded from the definition of “stay” are the following types of ineligible stays: wholesale/tour operator packages; contracted crew rates; travel agency discount rates, packages exclusively for casino player card holders; Team Member Travel rates, Hilton Family Travel Rates; stays secured utilizing Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club timeshare programs, Hilton Grand Vacations marketing packages with a sales presentation requirement; complimentary or barter rooms; Reward Stays (as defined herein); NET Group rates; Series Group or IT Group rates; contracted Entertainment or Encore rates; third party websites bookings (irrespective of rate paid); and “opaque” channel bookings where the brand may or may not be known at the time of purchase. HHonors Points (or stay credit) may not be earned (including as a My Way benefit) for or during ineligible stays, including without limitation, folio charges incurred during ineligible stays. If at least one night of the Member’s stay is consumed with the use of HHonors Rewards Points, the entire stay is considered a “Reward Stay” and no HHonors Points may be earned, except that if Member is using Room Upgrade Rewards, any money spent on the original reservation will earn points and/or miles consistent with these Terms. Participating hotel will determine whether incidental charges incurred during either of those stays are eligible for points, except that Points will not be earned for incidental charges at Hampton Inn®, Hampton Inn & Suites®, Homewood Suites by Hilton®, and Home2 Suites by Hilton®.”
I would say no too.
I just finished an award stay at hampton and was award 4k points for the multi brand stay challenge.. definitely unusual. It doesn’t hurt to register for all promotions 🙂
Yeah. Seems that you often get bonuses that are based on stays and not on the revenue if redeeming awards, but you can never be certain.
Never hurts to register. That’s what I always say!
John,
I called and spoke to a HH rep and she told me if we can find the promo code for the offer, she can sign me up. If anyone knows the code please tell all. At least i keep my HH gold status until march 2015.
Platinum at Starwood, Platinum at IHG and Gold At Hilton. Not a bad end to 2013.
