I had a long list of partners listed due to the old Double Dipping that Hilton used to have.
I could not select Emirates as the preferred one until I deleted a few partners.
Hilton Honors Double Dipping:
Hilton Honors Program Changes Effective April 2018 (Double Dip Gone)
Hilton used to allow Honors members to earn both points and miles for their stays. This was discontinued in 2018. Hilton had a similar promotion for bonus miles with Lufthansa for the 25th Anniversary of Miles&More 2019.
Remember to sign up for the global promotion:
Hilton Honors members earn 2,000 bonus points for every stay + an additional 5,000 points every five nights through May 2, 2021.
Hilton Honors Points Unlimited January 1 – May 2, 2021
Conclusion
Not sure how well Marriott’s and Emirates’ Your World Rewards-partnership is going, when Emirates decided to have this special promotion with Hilton?
This is an easy way to earn 3,000 bonus Skywards miles for anyone living in these countries that stay at least once at Hilton affiliated hotel.
These bonus miles are in addition to the usual base, elite, and bonus Honors points. You don’t need to choose between earning points OR miles.
The Double Dip with Hilton and airlines was fantastic, and there were always promotions with the airline. You only had to forgo earning some small amount of Honors points that made sense for short stays when there was a bonus with an airline, but that is not the case here.
I am glad that Hilton continues to have these special bonus miles offers every once in a while with select airlines. Their goal is to attract stays from these airline frequent flyer program members and get them to sign up for Honors (and continue to stay with Hilton past the promotion).

I registered for the promotion successfully.
Emirates skywards number was there on my profile before, showing on all my Hilton invoices even, but now is removed.
Now, I cannot update my Skywards as a travel partner: keeps giving an error as “member number is invalid!” I copied it from my Skyward page even, so strange!
I just had the same problem: my Emirates number is as following EK XXX XXX XXX where X stands for a digit. So I just put 00 instead of EK, so now my membership number looks like 00XXXXXXXXX and the system on Hilton website accepted it.
That worked, thanks 🙂
