Hilton used to rely on promotions to make Honors earning competitive. Now the points are worth less, the bonuses are smaller, and this summer’s offer can amount to just $2 a night — or less.
Hyatt’s latest “Bonus Journeys 26” promotion is live, offering 3,000 bonus points every three nights stayed through April 15, plus an extra 1,000 points at Hyatt Place and Hyatt Select properties. With up to 28,000 total bonus points available, it’s worth registering—even if you aren’t planning Hyatt stays yet. Just be aware: stays of one or two nights won’t earn anything, so plan accordingly.
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.
