GHA Discovery has grown to 50 brands, and their new multi-brand promo can be surprisingly lucrative. Register then complete 2–10 brand-direct stays of at least two nights between December 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026 to earn D$50–D$100 per stay on top of your usual rewards—OTAs and bank portals don’t count.
Hilton is out with their fall promotion, “Stay More, Earn More” and you can register to earn 1,500 bonus points per stay October 1 – December 31, 2025. That’s generously worth about $6.
This makes me sad, especially because it comes on the heels of another weak offering from Hilton Honors.
Hyatt is offering up to 16,000 bonus points for stays at Hyatt Place, Hyatt House and Hyatt Studios through September 7, 2025.
American Airlines has an amazing elite status fast track offer that’s targeted, in accounts now, and you should definitely check if it’s available to you.
American Airlines is running a promotion that should be available in most accounts to earn 500 bonus loyalty points per flight segment taken in March, up to 5,000 bonus loyalty points.
This is a pretty good offer for Southwest and for customers. They’ll give you a free companion to travel with you for about two months if you book just two one way flights right away (and use them for travel in the next six weeks).
Every year for the past several years, Marriott has run a double elite nights offer along with bonus points. Here’s last year’s which was 1,000 bonus points per night and double elite qualifying nights on paid stays February 13 – April 29. They ran something similar in 2022 and 2023.
Hyatt has launched its winter promotion. Registration is required to earn double points on qualifying stays, and triple points at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands, January 27 – March 28, 2025.
Hilton Honors is offering some members 4,000 bonus points for a single stay taken any time within the next year – but you have to register by December 31st.
Once registered, any eligible stay within 12 months earns the points. The promotion has apparently been around for quite awhile but I haven’t seen it. It’s been in my account – and the accounts of many other members! – for some time but hasn’t generated much discussion. I saw it mentioned online, checked my account, and there it was.
Eligible members must complete 1 stay, within 12 months from registration date.
Example: Member receives email on March 1, registers March 5, the member has 12 months to complete 1 stay from March 5 to receive 4,000 Bonus Points.
Log into your account and there, under ‘points’ you will see ‘points promotions’. Select that and you’ll see whether it’s available to you.
Here are the offer terms:
This offer is only valid and exclusive to select members and is not transferable. To be eligible for this offer from Hilton Honors, member (1) must have received this offer directly from Hilton Honors, (2) register to participate using the same e-mail address associated with the promotional invitation by December 31, 2024 and (3) complete 1 stay within 12 months from registration date. For examples and further details, please see the FAQ page.
It’s 4,000 easy points – you don’t have to be a regular with Hilton. A once a year Hilton type like I am is enough to earn the bonus. And while I only value Hilton points at around half a cent apiece, this is still $20 for a stay you may do anyway. And I am far more interested in collecting Honors points now that they can be spent with SLH Hotels.
In the promotions tab of your American AAdvantage profile you may find an offer of bonus miles for flying in premium cabins prior to the Christmas holidays.
