Earn 2,500 points per stay with Hilton’s Power Up promotion

Hilton just launched its new Power Up promotion for the fall.

This generous promotion allows travelers to earn 2,500 Hilton Honors bonus points for every stay between September 3 and December 31—that’s an opportunity to earn bonus points for nearly four full months.

Plus, you can currently earn double points on all Hilton stays when you register at hiltonhonors.com.

Here’s a breakdown of the Power Up promotion.

Hilton’s New Power Up Promotion

You will first need to register for the promotion to take advantage of the offer. Once you do, you will earn 2,500 bonus points per stay with no minimum night requirement. A one-night stay will earn you the same number of bonus points as a one-week stay.

The number of points you can earn is unlimited and the promotion is valid at all hotels and resorts in the Hilton portfolio.

Additionally, if you check in before September 3, you will receive bonus points if your stay is completed on or after September 3 and before December 31.

Bonus points do not count toward Hilton Elite status.

How much are Hilton Honors points worth?

Maximize your earnings with a Hilton Credit Card

While 2,500 bonus points on top of the points you’ll already earn for your stay is a nice bonus, if you pay with a Hilton co-branded credit card, your earnings could skyrocket.
