The Offer
- Register using the above link & stay by March 27, 2017 to earn:
- 500 AAdvantage miles per night at: Hilton, Curio, DoubleTree by Hilton, Embassy Suites, and Hilton Grand Vacations
- 500 AAdvantage miles per stay at: Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton by Hilton, Home2 Suites, and Homewood Suites
Fine Print
In order to earn 500 miles, you must select American Airlines as your preferred Double Dip Points & Miles partner in your Hilton HHonors Profile to qualify for this offer (sign in at Hilton.com and go to Profile > Preferences) AND you must chose Points & Miles for your MyWay / Double Dip Earning Style Preference (also under Profile > Preferences). This means you will earn 10 HHonors points and 1 AAdvantage mile per $ instead of 15 HHonors points per $ (in addition to the 500 miles per night or per stay).
Note that a maximum of 10,000 miles can be earned with this offer. Additionally, the terms state that you must first register at HHonors.com/AABonus (note: this link does not actually work) prior to check-out of your first stay within the Promotion Period, which would imply that if you didn’t register and stayed since December 15, you would not be eligible. However, I consider it more likely to mean that you won’t receive bonus miles on stays from before you’ve registered.
Our Verdict
With Hilton Triple Points extended until January 31 and 5,000 HHonors Points for booking through the app and paying with a Visa, it’s a fine time to get in on a few extra HHonors points & AA miles if you’re planning some Hilton stays (even if Citi is throwing around AA miles like candy). It’s exceptionally good if—like me—you have any sub-$100 or even sub-$150 stays coming up, since the extra 5x DoubleDip HHonors points don’t amount to much, and the miles you’d earn are at minimum quadrupled.
Hat tip to u/vdot90 on r/churning.
What about the Hilton property “the district by Hilton club” in Washington, D.C.–does this property qualify for 500 bonus? I couldn’t find an answer anywhere. Help! Thanks.
Dumb question: Can I still get the 500 AA miles if I book the hotel with points? The fine print at the bottom of the linked page seems to suggest yes, but that sounds too good to be trueish.
Nevermind, I misread. I thought it said “earn 500 miles” instead of “earn up to 500 miles.”
On to the next deal I guess!
It does say “earn 500 miles”. I titled the post as “Up to 500 AAdvantage Miles Per Night” because some properties only earn 500 miles per stay, instead of per night.
It’s confusing and does seem to good to be true. The terms of this offer just require that your settings be such that you could earn AA miles from staying at a Hilton; they don’t require you to actually earn any during a stay (which you don’t during a reward stay unless you pay money for a room upgrade).
If you’re really interested, it may be worth calling in and seeking clarification.
Wow… I don’t think I’ve ever earned points by redeeming points before. That would definitely be a first!
I have a stay coming up on Saturday, so I’m going to cancel & rebook it. I’ll report back if the points post!
Thanks 😀
I got an even better one. Free platinum status for being a HH diamond. Not sure how targeted it is: https://www.hiltonhhonors.com/3409_02092016/landing/Offer6?WT.mc_id=zELWAPN0GL1WW2DMH3Affiliate4DGGenericx
link didn’t work for me but thanks for posting
Read the dates on your link. This was a promo last year
Yes you can
Can I make a booking w/ Citi Prestige concierge and by giving them my HH # take advantage of this?
Because that would be legit.
Definitely! From the looks of this, even reward nights should be eligible (which is weird and something I would confirm with a customer service representative first, of course).
