Hilton Says Honors Engagement is Up: Giving Members Less Works
Jul

2019
Two and a half years ago Hilton reported 60 million members. Then at the beginning of 2018 they reported 70 million. Now they say they are up to 94 million Honors members.
Hilton was the first to aggressively advertise ‘member rates’ which are small room discounts that require you to join the loyalty program. Unsurprisingly that’s just what guests do. And since the number of members has gone up recently, driven by this savings, these are ‘engaged’ members with recent Hilton activity.

Last week I wrote that Hilton eliminated ‘AXON awards’ December 31 without notice. These are discounted awards for four night stays in category 5 through 10 hotels which could be booked over the phone by American Express co-brand cardholders.
I spoke with Hilton HHonors Vice President Aaron Glick this afternoon. He apologized to members, says they made a mistake and that “we want to give advance notice of changes in the program.”

For over a decade Hilton American Express co-brand credit card holders had access to discounted four night redemptions. These had to be booked by phone and were known as ‘AXON’ awards.
A reader told me they had heard these awards were discontinued at the end of 2016. I hadn’t heard anything about this, so I reached out to Hilton and an HHonors representative confirmed that these awards are toast

Hilton is reportedly letting Diamond members who have requalified for their elite status already use stays through the end of the year towards 2018 status.
If you do qualify for Diamond based on hotel activity, and have already done so, if you have the option for rollover nights along with current promotions you have a reason to continue staying.
Hilton Considering New Top Tier Elite Level Above Diamond

Hilton’s current top elite tier doesn’t much differentiate itself from mid-tier Gold. And Gold comes just from signing up either for the Citi Hilton Reserve Card or the Hilton HHonorsTM Surpass® Card from American Express.
But we know about a survey of potential new benefits for a “Diamond+” level — in conjunction with a possible new premium credit card to boot.

Between january 1 and August 31 Hilton ran promotions offering Double Points. Now they’ve announced that September 1 through December 31 they will be offering… double points. And the new promotion will have the same name as the last one.
There is no truth to the rumor that all of the creative marketing people have been let go in McLean, Virginia and replaced with a “copy / paste function.”
