DirecTV is offering two free weekend nights at almost any Hilton property as a signup bonus.
That’s a new offer for the service I hadn’t seen before, although some will prefer 25,000 miles or more as their signup bonus.
This is similar to the bonus offered on the Citi Hilton Reserve credit card which also comes with Hilton HHonors Gold status.
Some folks have been burning through these accounts and getting plenty of signup bonuses for awhile, earning bonuses and then getting service again through family members. Generally you can get a new bonus in your own name 24 months after cancelling your last service.
There are really attractive offers for people that want DirecTV and it may be a reason to choose DirecTV over cable. But it’s not a way just to buy miles or night cheaply without valuing the DirecTV service in some way.

And if doing this, and you’re new to DirecTV, be sure to ask lots of questions about the billing. They have a bewildering razzle dazzle of add on charges to make the base rate look good, but you end up paying a lot more than that. Do the math carefully first.
Assuming there isn’t some major catch, this could be a great deal. I used the 2 free nights from the Citi Reserve at HIlton Seychelles. Each night was easily $800USD.
