Hilton Honors Thank You Gift

Select members have received a somewhat cryptic email from Hilton that promises 10,000 Honors points for merely clicking a link.

Hilton appears to be sending these Thank You Gifts to “random” members, so better check your email inbox to see if you received one.

You can access this offer on Hilton’s website here.

Hilton Thank You Gift Email:

The email includes a red box with a “CLICK HERE,” and it looks exceptionally dodgy. If someone promises you free points for clicking a link, always check the email address where the communication was sent.

Text on the email:

Conclusion

Hilton is not the first loyalty program that offers surprise points or miles to few members out of the blue. Perhaps they are testing how a random points deposit will affect the booking behavior of these select guests?

A reader who forwarded this to us had had around five stays this summer, each for a night.
