Hilton Honors opens a per-stay bonus
Hilton Honors opened registration for More Points to Play. A member who registers earns 3,000 bonus points on each stay at a property on Hilton's luxury, lifestyle, resort and all-inclusive list. Every other stay earns 1,000 bonus points. The window covers stays completed between 15 October 2026 and 31 December 2026. Brian Cohen reported the terms for The Gate on 18 September 2026.
Registration is open now. One registration covers the whole window.
Rate codes that earn no bonus
The exclusion list decides what a guest can be told at the desk. Stays booked on NET Group rates, Series Group rates, IT Group rates, contracted crew rates, travel agency discount rates, wholesale and tour operator packages, Team Member Travel rates, Hilton Family Travel rates, third-party internet site bookings and opaque channel bookings earn no bonus points.
Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club timeshare stays, complimentary and barter rooms, casino player card packages and Hilton Grand Vacations marketing packages with a sales presentation also sit outside the promotion.
Check a guest's rate code against that list at the booking stage.
What the bonus returns on a short stay
A one-night stay earns the full bonus for its property tier. The promotion sets no minimum stay count and no minimum night count. Hilton caps the total bonus a member earns at no level.
A run of consecutive nights at one property counts as one stay. Seven nights at a listed property earn the same 3,000 points as one night there. Two separate stays at two listed properties earn 6,000 points.
Silver, Gold and Diamond members earn their elite tier bonus in addition. Bonus points earned on base points do not count toward elite tier qualification. Points post up to eight weeks after the stay completes.
Stays that cross the window
A member who checks in before 15 October 2026 earns credit when the stay completes on or after 15 October 2026 and on or before 31 December 2026. That stay carries a floor of 1,000 bonus points. A stay that checks out after 31 December 2026 earns nothing through the promotion.
Two registration deadlines in print
The Gate's body text states the deadline as before checkout of the first stay. The Select Terms and Conditions section on the same article states registration before the first stay. A guest who registers before arrival clears both readings.
How Hilton sorts the two tiers
The Gate names Canopy by Hilton, Graduate by Hilton, Tempo by Hilton, Motto by Hilton, Curio Collection by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Outset Collection by Hilton, AutoCamp and YOTEL in the 3,000-point group. Waldorf Astoria, LXR, Conrad, Signia and NoMad sit in the same bracket.
Hilton publishes the eligible property list. Check a property against that list before quoting the 3,000-point tier to a guest.
Registration sits on the Hilton Honors promotion page.
