If you’re planning on staying at a Hilton property to close out 2025, you could get bonus Hilton Honors points on top of your regular earnings.
The hospitality giant is offering 1,500 bonus points for every stay during the “Stay More, Earn More Promotion” between October 1 and December 31, 2025.
Bonus Hilton Honors Earned for Every Check-In with No Limit
To qualify for the promotion, Hilton Honors members need to register at Hilton’s website during the promotional period. After that, all that’s left is to book your next stay at one of the 8,800 properties in the Hilton portfolio. For every stay, you can earn an extra 1,500 points with no limit to the total number of bonus points earned during the promotion period.
As with everything in life, terms and conditions apply. A “stay” is defined as consecutive nights at a hotel, regardless of the number of check-ins and check-outs. The bonus points don’t affect how many base points you earn per stay, or any bonuses you would get from an Hilton Honors American Express card. Only stays that are booked through Hilton’s channels count for the bonus points – those booked through online travel agencies won’t earn base or bonus points. You can find the full FAQs on the Hilton website.
The promotion coincides with new offers for the Hilton Honors American Express cards for new card members who apply and are approved between October 1, 2025 and January 14, 2026. The offers include:
- Hilton Honors American Express Card: Earning 100K Bonus Points after spending $2,000 or more on eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. Terms apply.
- Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card: Earning 155K Bonus Points after spending $3,000 or more on eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. Terms apply.
- Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card: Earning 175K Bonus Points after spending $6,000 or more on eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. Terms apply.
- Hilton Honors American Express Business Card: Earning 175K Bonus Points after spending $8,000 or more on eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. Terms apply.
Is This a Good Promotion for My Money?
I am personally a BIG fan of Hilton Honors and Hilton properties for three reasons:
- No matter where you’re going, there’s probably one Hilton property reasonably nearby.
- Hilton properties are (usually) clean, safe, and comfortable.
- There is a wide diversity of properties available through Hilton and bookable through Hilton Honors points.
From the “glamping” glory of Autocamp, to the spirit of Graduate Hotels, to the relaxed comfort of Hampton Inn, Hilton literally has a property for every taste and budget. On the downside, Hilton Honors points hold a low per-point value (some estimate them at around 0.4 cents each), meaning you’ll need to collect a lot of points to get a free night.
If you’re already a Hilton fanboy (like me) and have Hilton stays planned ahead, then this promotion definitely rewards you just a little bit more for your loyalty. But if you’re not a Hilton regular or hotel loyalty agnostic, I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to book Hilton properties just for this promotion.
