The round-up and its five registration pages
Head for Points published the October edition of its hotel-promotion round-up on 7 October 2026. The page carries five hotel loyalty offers, each with its own registration link, stay window and earning rate. The outlet runs the round-up monthly for its email subscribers and points readers to its standing hotel offers page for the full terms of every scheme.
Measured on 15 October 2026, the Hilton Honors, IHG One Rewards, Radisson Rewards and World of Hyatt registration pages answered a 403. The Marriott Bonvoy page answered with a client-side render that carries no terms text. Every window and rate below prints from the round-up’s own page.
Register before the first stay
The five offers carry different windows and different earning units. Hilton Honors pays 1,000 to 3,000 bonus points per stay, in cash or on a reward booking, from 15 October to 31 December 2026, and the top tier applies at resorts and upscale brands. IHG One Rewards pays triple base points on stays booked through the IHG app and double base points on other qualifying channels, from 1 October to 31 December 2026. Marriott Bonvoy pays 1,500 bonus points for each cash stay of two nights or more completed between 22 September and 22 November 2026, and the rate rises to 4,500 points at resorts. Radisson Rewards pays 6,000 points for stays at two different brands, with 2,000 more for a third and 2,000 more for a fourth, to 20 December 2026. World of Hyatt pays 3,000 bonus points for every three nights from 29 September to 15 December 2026, and the programme caps the offer at 36,000 points.
Two registration conditions sit inside those windows. Marriott Bonvoy closes registration on 13 November 2026, nine days before its stay window ends. IHG One Rewards starts the bonus on the second stay a member completes after registration, so the first stay inside the promotional period earns the base rate alone.
Which bookings count once registered
Four of the five programmes count bookings a member made before registering. Hilton Honors takes existing bookings, and the round-up states that all Hilton Honors hotels take part. IHG One Rewards takes existing bookings made before registration. Marriott Bonvoy takes existing bookings made before registration, and reward stays do not collect its bonus. World of Hyatt takes existing bookings.
Radisson Rewards states that only bookings made after registration count toward its brand tally. The page prints that rule in the same paragraph as the points tier.
The round-up attaches one further instruction to the Hilton entry. A member registers in advance of the first stay inside the earning period, through the Hilton website, and the registration is what turns on the bonus.
The rules a reservation team checks
Three rules decide whether a stay earns. The booking channel sets the IHG rate, since the triple rate applies to app bookings and the double rate to other qualifying channels. Reward stays earn the Hilton and Hyatt bonuses and do not earn the Marriott bonus. And the Marriott offer works alongside two other promotions the page names, the on-going 500 Nectar points on the next three Marriott stays promotion and the Lufthansa status points offer, each of which needs its own registration. The page prints no window for either.
The round-up’s own advice on crediting a stay reads across all five: no single offer suits every member, some offers need repeated stays before a bonus is earned, and a member’s elite status earns its own status bonus on the stay.
What the round-up leaves open
The page prints no property list for any of the five offers, no cash rate and no award price. It names no count of participating hotels for the Hilton Honors offer, beyond the statement that the programme’s hotels take part. It prints no rule on which members receive each offer.
The five registration pages hold the remaining detail. A member who wants the current window, the eligible rate rules and the exclusions opens the programme’s own page through the round-up’s link. The page prints each link beside the offer it turns on.
