This could make your stays very lucrative, especially if you are staying at a less expensive property. Take for instance the <a href=\"http:\/\/www3.hilton.com\/en\/hotels\/egypt\/ramses-hilton-CAIRHTW\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ramses Hilton<\/a>, with a current award night price of 10,000 points.<\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"782\/170\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20239 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ramses-Hilton-Point-Redemption.png\" alt=\"Ramses Hilton Point Redemption\" width=\"782\" height=\"170\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ramses-Hilton-Point-Redemption.png 782w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Ramses-Hilton-Point-Redemption-300x65.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5 one-night stays will set you back 50,000 points, but with the promo, you will earn 20,000 points (2,000 per stay + 10,000 bonus points), which amounts to a total of 30,000 points for 5 stays or 6,000 points per night, which is pretty sweet value.<\/p>\n<p>Things get even better with a less expensive property, like the <a href=\"http:\/\/hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com\/en\/hotels\/poland\/hilton-garden-inn-rzeszow-RZEGIGI\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hilton Garden Inn Rzeszow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"782\/171\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20240 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Hilton-Garden-Inn-Rzeszow-Points-Redemption.png\" alt=\"Hilton Garden Inn Rzeszow Points Redemption\" width=\"782\" height=\"171\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Hilton-Garden-Inn-Rzeszow-Points-Redemption.png 782w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Hilton-Garden-Inn-Rzeszow-Points-Redemption-300x66.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At 5,000 points per night, the 5 one-night stays will set you back 25,000 points, and earn you 20,000-points back. You are effectively getting 5 nights for 5,000 points or 1,000 points per night, which can\u2019t be beaten. Again, just make sure you charge something to the room!<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the following brands do not earn points for incidental hotel spending, so award stays at any of these will\u00a0not earn bonus points associated with the promotion. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hampton Inn<\/li>\n<li>Home2 Suites<\/li>\n<li>Homewood Suites<\/li>\n<li>Tru by Hilton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to earn bonus points with these properties, you'll need to stay on an eligible rate.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is not often you get a promo that at first glance seems relatively standard but with a little digging turns out to have the potential to be very lucrative. The only drawback is that you will have to spend some time sifting through various properties to find one that maximizes your value.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/loyaltytraveler.boardingarea.com\/2017\/12\/20\/hilton-honors-points-unlimited-jan-1-apr-30-promotion-potential-for-5-hotel-nights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Loyalty Traveler<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Key_Terms\">Key Terms<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Award_Stays_Are_Eligible_Bonus_Points_with_a_caveat\">Award Stays Are Eligible Bonus Points (with a caveat)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Our_Take\">Our Take<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hilton Honors has announced its first promotion for 2018, Points Unlimited.
