However, you'll earn 5 base points per dollar spent at Home2 Suites, Homewood Suites, Spark, and Tru properties. Stays at LivSmart Studios will earn 3 points per dollar spent.<\/p>\n For example, a $200 stay at most Hilton brands would earn 2,000 base points before elite bonuses, promotions, or credit card earnings. At brands earning 5 base points per dollar, that same $200 stay would earn 1,000 base points.<\/p>\n Qualifying stays must be booked through Hilton's official channels, including eligible travel advisors. Third-party bookings, including OTAs or some credit card travel portals like Amex Travel<\/a> or Chase Travel<\/a>, generally don't qualify.<\/p>\n When you book an award or Points & Money stay, you'll generally earn points on eligible incidental charges or the cash portion of your booking. Which incidental charges qualify varies by brand and charge type.<\/p>\n In addition to base points, elite members earn bonus points on eligible stays. For full-service brands, earning rates vary by status level:<\/p>\n Using the same $200 stay example, here's what Hilton Honors members can expect to earn at most Hilton brands before promotions, MyWay benefits, or credit card earnings:<\/p>\n Remember that the earning rates above apply to brands earning 10 base points per dollar. At Home2 Suites, Homewood Suites, Spark, and Tru properties, members earn 5 base points per dollar, while LivSmart Studios stays earn 3 base points per dollar.<\/p>\n Gold, Diamond, Diamond Reserve, and Lifetime Diamond<\/a> members can select additional points at check-in as part of the Hilton \u201cMy Way\u201d benefit<\/a>.<\/p>\n Many Hilton brands earn 1,000 bonus points per stay<\/strong> as a MyWay benefit, including Canopy by Hilton, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Curio Collection by Hilton, DoubleTree by Hilton, Embassy Suites by Hilton, Graduate by Hilton, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, LXR Hotels & Resorts, Motto by Hilton, NoMad, Signia by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, and Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts.<\/p>\n Other brands offer the following MyWay bonus points:<\/p>\n Yes, you can earn Hilton base points on up to 4 rooms per stay, as long as all eligible charges are paid together on a single folio. You\u2019ll need to request this at check-in.<\/p>\n However, not every type of earning applies to every room. Base points can be earned on eligible charges for up to four rooms, and elite bonuses and quarterly promotions apply to the total eligible charges. But partner points and some other promotional bonuses apply to just one room.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also earn only one stay credit, one elite-night credit, and one mileage credit per stay.<\/p>\n There are a few additional ways to earn even more points while you are enjoying your stay. Here are some examples to boost your point earnings.<\/p>\n Meeting and event planners can earn 2 Hilton Honors points per $1 spent on eligible charges, up to $100,000 in spending per event. You'll need to add Event Planner Points to your Hilton contract, and not all properties participate in the Hilton Honors Event Planner program<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hilton runs multiple promotions<\/a> each year that can help you earn even more points from your stays. Typical offerings include bonus points per stay or per night, as well as bonus elite night credits.<\/p>\n AwardWallet also maintains a list of the best promotions across all loyalty programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n American Express offers multiple co-branded Hilton Honors cards<\/a>.
