A Quick Guide to Hilton Honor Points program
We talk a lot above about the Hilton Hotel and Resorts loyalty program which is called Hilton Honors. This is one of the best loyalty programs around as you can earn points every time you stay at Hilton. Points earned can be used to pay for future hotel stays. In summary, to be able to get double points when booking with Clements Travel means that you will get the free nights a lot faster.
- Hilton have three membership levels to their Hilton Honors program – depending on how often you stay at Hilton Hotels you can have blue, gold and diamond elite status. The higher the tier program the more benefits you get.
- In many countries Hilton Hotels have their own branded Hilton credit card which would allow you to to earn even more points. The most popular is the American Express Hilton Aspire Card were you can earn up to 14x points per stay.
- As mentioned above, booking online with Hilton direct or an online hotel booking site will only see you earning Hilton Honors base points, with booking through a Hilton Impresario travel agent such as Clements Travel then you earn double Hilton Honors base points.
- Hilton Impresario rates work out to be the same prices as a refundable Hilton room rate, essentially you are paying no more than what is showing on the Hilton website.
- You can sign up to get a Hilton Honors account here.
