I've been trying, without success, to identify the participating hotels. Does anyone know what Hilton classes as Asia/Pacific?

On just the Hilton website (not HHonors) that refers to Hilton hotels only (not Conrad, Hampton etc) it seems to indicate on map that Asia starts in India and anywhere to the east of that, whilst Australasia included AU, NZ, FJ & French Polynesia.

I could swear once upon a time there was a global hotel directory that listed all hotels by region, for ALL brands in the HHonors program. But don't know where it is now (it actually appears as text in google searches for "Hilton HHonors global hotel directory" but is not there when clicking the links).

So I guess the question is..........Is Australia part of Asia/Pacific? I must admit to thinking yes, but maybe it's Australasia!

To muddy the waters a bit, a search of Hiltons Asia/Pacific news has a report that says "Hilton Worldwide Expands Resorts Portfolio In Australasia With The Rebranding Of Fiji Beach Resort And Spa Managed By Hilton", now if Fiji is not part of the Pacific, I'm not sure what is.......and it's in the Asia/Pacific News........but it's described as being in Australasia!

I have a stay soon and I have changed my double dip to QF and I've registered so I guess I'll soon find out!

AFAIK Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific come under the Asia Pacific region in Hilton. See, for example, their meeting planner: http://hiltonworldwidemeetingsapac.com/asia-pacific-hotels

That looks pretty good to me. The odd part is that Hilton usually are quite clear about participating hotels, even to the point of linking to a list of them, but in this offer, zilch that I can find. My concept was that QF is an Australian airline, so surely Australia is in the promotion! I'd be pretty disappointed if I end up with 1QF point per US$ though, not when I've given up 5HH points to do it.

I am not sure it would be bad. The confirmation message I got (on screen) said there were triple points outside Asia Pacific.

Hi, appears to be available for KrisFlyer also (and I'm guessing others depending on who you double dip partner is linked to) Please see KrisFlyer link here

I cannot justify the QF bonus promo given the poor value of QF points even post the HH major devaluation a coule of years ago. And as others have noted, there is 2x and 3x HH points promo.

Now if this was 4x SPG points promo I'd be all over it like a bad rash.

I was thinking of changing my earning preference to HH points and QF points but on second thoughts I may send them to Krisflyer (would come in very handy when I move my Velocity miles over ).
This looks better value than the HHonors x2 and x3 promos running until the end of the year.

Hi Fifa - do you think the value/availability makes SQ a better option for redemptions? I have some Amex points i need to move at some stage so working through the options.

I'm very new to KF so still doing my research for J flights to Europe next year.
Handy for Velocity points too.

i'm not sure how this works and haven't stayed with hilton much so hopefully someone can correct me.

can you benefit from 2 promos at once? i.e. can i sign up for this qantas/KF bonus as well as also get the current x2, x3 promos that i already previously signed up for?
my understanding is that the x2/3 promos are on the base points, so if i set my double dip to points + miles will i get the bonus miles as well as bonus base points?

thanks

Hi coolkid101 - my take on it after reading the ts & cs is that you can participate in the double/triple/quad rewards promo at once however the bonus points are reflected in the hotel of your selected partner in your HH profile.
"...To be eligible for this, Double or Triple miles, you must (1) be a Hilton HHonors member; (2) be a member of KrisFlyer; (3) register for the promotion on this page and; (4) select Singapore Airlines as your Preferred Airline Partner. Ensure that you select Points and Variable Miles as your Double Dip Earning Style within your HHonors profile in order to earn Double or Triple miles in conjunction with this offer."
Potentially you could complete a stay with KF selected then change it to QF and complete another stay for bonus points on that stay but I'm guessing.. perhaps someone else could shed some light?

Sorry that was my fault for not being clear. I was referring to the concurrent promotion for 2x base points on weekday stays and 3x on weekend stays that was started about a month ago.. And whether that will run concurrently with this and if not how to ask for one or the other.

 

[Cynicor]

No, will not stack. You usually need points and points selected for the 2 and 3x promo, as per the T+Cs (generally, not checked this lot), and "points and miles" selected for the airline bonus points. Once I got both but in a weird way, so it was an error.

 

[Blockers]

Ah ha... not sure sorry. I know you have to register for the quad points promo (assuming you need to for the others also) if they were all going to the same HH airline partner that might work but given they state 6-8 weeks for points to appear after a stay, it might rolling the dice. They may also get you on this technicality "Offer is not transferable, is not valid for groups and cannot be combined with other select offers."

I'll have to argue that one Cynicor.

 

[Cynicor]

Excellent news. Like I said, I haven't read the T+Cs for this one.

I wonder if Krisflyer or QF is more valuable- I'll switch them right now...
