Hilton Honors “More Points to Play” is open for registration.
Complete eligible stays from Oct 15 to Dec 31, 2026. After registration, earn 3,000 bonus points per eligible stay at participating luxury, lifestyle, resort and all-inclusive hotels, or 1,000 bonus points per eligible stay at other Hilton portfolio properties. Total bonus points have no cap for the promotion.
If you have business trips, beach holidays, ski breaks, city weekends or year-end travel, register first and book direct.
You can see the offer page here to log in to Hilton Honors, activate the promotion and reserve rooms.
💡 Bonus is per stay, not per night. Consecutive nights at one property count as one stay. To earn multiple high-tier bonuses, split eligible hotels into separate qualified stays.
1. Dates and Registration Rules
Stay completion window
Eligible stays must be completed from Oct 15 to Dec 31, 2026. Stays completed before Oct 15 or checked out after Dec 31 do not qualify under this promotion for the out-of-window portion.
Register before checkout
Hilton Honors members must register before completing an eligible stay. Register even for existing reservations, then ensure the Honors number is on the booking. New members can join free, register the promotion and book immediately.
Early check-in exception
If you check in before Oct 15 but complete the stay on or after Oct 15 and by Dec 31, the stay can earn the bonus. If check-out falls after Dec 31, the incomplete promotion-period stay does not earn under this offer.
2. 3,000 vs 1,000 Bonus
High-bonus hotel types
Earn 3,000 bonus points at participating luxury, lifestyle, resort and all-inclusive properties. Official examples include Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR and other luxury labels, plus Curio Collection, Tapestry Collection, Canopy, Tempo, Motto, AutoCamp, Small Luxury Hotels, beach resorts and all-inclusive resorts. Always verify the specific property on the eligible list.
Other Hilton portfolio stays
All other participating Hilton properties earn 1,000 bonus points per eligible stay. This may include Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Homewood, DoubleTree and others where eligible. Brand name alone is not enough; check the promotion property list before booking for the 3,000 tier.
| Property type | Bonus per eligible stay | Best for | Verify before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luxury (Waldorf/Conrad/LXR etc.) | 3,000 points | City luxury, island resorts, celebrations | Promotion eligible list |
| Lifestyle (Curio/Tapestry/Canopy etc.) | 3,000 points | Design stays, multi-city splits | Promotion eligible list |
| Resort and all-inclusive | 3,000 points | Family, honeymoon, beach clubs | Promotion eligible list |
| Other participating Hilton hotels | 1,000 points | Transit, long projects, standard city stays | Participating + eligible rate |
3. What Counts as an Eligible Stay
Consecutive nights equal one stay
A stay is all consecutive nights at the same hotel, even if you check out and check back in. One 7-night luxury resort stay earns one 3,000-point bonus; two 1-night eligible luxury stays at different qualified hotels can earn two 3,000-point bonuses.
Book through Hilton direct
Use hilton.com, the Hilton Honors app, the call center or the hotel directly. Third-party OTA bookings may be treated as ineligible for this bonus. Corporate rates qualify only when they are eligible under Honors accrual rules and the promotion terms.
Award stays and excluded rates
Check award-stay eligibility under the current promotion terms before redeeming points. Groups and certain ineligible rates do not qualify. Add your Honors number at reservation and show your member profile at check-in.
4.Booking Flow for Maximum Bonus
Step 1: Register the promotion
Open the offer page, log in to Hilton Honors and activate More Points to Play. You can see the offer page here and register before any eligible checkout.
Step 2: Choose high-bonus properties first
For leisure or celebration trips, shortlist luxury, lifestyle, resort and all-inclusive hotels from the eligible list. For budget city travel, other participating Hilton hotels still earn 1,000 points per stay.
Step 3: Book direct and split if needed
Book on the website or app with your Honors number. If you want multiple 3,000 bonuses, use separate qualified hotels instead of one long continuous stay at the same property.
Step 4: Review points after checkout
Bonus points post per the official timeline; allow the stated processing window in the terms. If base points post but the promotion bonus does not, contact Hilton Honors with the confirmation number and promotion name.
5. Key Terms
Stays completed Oct 15–Dec 31, 2026; register before checkout. Luxury/lifestyle/resort/all-inclusive eligible properties earn 3,000 bonus points per stay; other participating Hilton properties earn 1,000 per stay. Consecutive same-property nights count as one stay; no overall bonus cap; bonus points do not count toward elite tier qualification; groups and certain rates excluded; verify each hotel on the official eligible list.
6. Related: Hilton Buy Points 1-for-1 Through September 25, 2026
Hilton Honors is also running a buy-points sale alongside this stay promotion. Targeted members can get a 100% bonus on purchased points, effectively buying points at 0.5¢ each. The sale runs from August 5, 2026, 12:00 a.m. ET to September 25, 2026, 11:59 p.m. ET.
Buy 5,000+ base points in one transaction to trigger the 100% tier. The temporary annual cap is raised to 300,000 base points, which delivers up to 600,000 total points for about $3,000. Points are processed by Points.com, usually post within 48 hours, do not count toward elite status, and are non-refundable.
When the buy-points offer fits your stay plan
If you already target Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR or resort awards, buying points can fill the gap faster than waiting for stays. Combine purchased points with Hilton’s 5th-night-free award benefit to lower the effective cost of 5-night luxury or resort redemptions. For shorter top-ups, buy only the missing amount instead of stocking points without a redemption date.
Quick buy-points tiers
| Base points purchased | Total with 100% bonus | Approx. cost | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5,000 | 10,000 | $50 | Small top-up for one award night |
| 50,000 | 100,000 | $500 | Mid-tier resort or city luxury short stay |
| 100,000 | 200,000 | $1,000 | Premium resort nights with 5th-night-free |
| 300,000 (cap) | 600,000 | $3,000 | Full luxury stock-up across multiple trips |
