Hilton Honors announced four months ago its global promotion called Points Unlimited, which validity has now been extended through May 31, 2020 (was going to end of May 3).

Members earn 2,000 bonus for each stay + an additional 10,000 points for every ten nights consumed during the promotional period.

Note that the 2,000 bonus points for each stay has traditionally also applied for award stays.

Here's how Hilton counts the points (per their examples):

Example A: An Honors member stays 5 times for a total of 10 nights in March.

    Member earns a total of 20,000 Bonus Points with the promotion.
      The member earned 10,000 Bonus Points for their 5 stays (2,000 Bonus Points per stay) and received the 10,000 Bonus Point award for achieving 10 Nights.

Example B: An Honors member stays 3 times with a total of 11 nights in March. This same member then stays 4 times with a total of 9 nights in April.

    Member earns a total of 34,000 Bonus Points with the promotion.

    • The member earned 14,000 Bonus Points for their 7 stays (2,000 Bonus Points per stay).
    • t
    • The member also received the 10,000 Bonus Point award once for staying at least 10 nights in March.
    • t
    • Since the member had 1 additional night over the 10 night threshold requirement in March, this 1 night can be used toward earning their next 10,000 Bonus Point award.
    • t
    • The member used this extra night with the 9 nights in April to earn the 10,000 Bonus Point award again.

Example C: An Honors member stays 1 time with a total of 20 nights in March.

    Member earns a total of 22,000 Bonus Points with the promotion.

      t
    • The member earned 2,000 Bonus Points for their 1 stay (2,000 Bonus Points per stay).

Conclusion

I know that most in Europe and North America cannot travel at the moment, but things are getting back to normal at some countries here in Asia where I have decided to stay for an extended period.

Hilton likely hopes that the pandemic peak is over by May 31 so that they can by then have better visibility of how the travel industry will shakeup, and what incentives to offer to Honors members.
