Hilton HHonors has triple miles offer for South African Airways frequent flier members in EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) between January 17 and March 31, 2014.
Unlike with many other double/triple miles offers, all Hilton family of hotels in the area are participating. There are no excluded hotels.
You must register for this offer (do it here) to be eligible for the bonus miles, have your Hilton HHonors Double Dip option set to Points + Miles and choose South African Airways as the chosen partner.
Remember that you need to book eligible rate (access Hilton HHonors eligible rates here).
You earn 2 bonus South African Airways per USD charged in addition to the 1 base mile. The total number of miles that you earn per USD is 3 during the promotional period in EMEA.
Conclusion
I like the fact that there are no non-participating properties for this promotion, but rather all properties in EMEA are participating.
You have to do the math, whether additional 5 Hilton HHonors points is better option for you in lieu of 3 South African Airways miles.
