Hilton on Tuesday launched a double Honors elite qualifying nights offer for October 11 – December 31, 2022 (read more here).
It was somewhat unclear from the offer T&Cs and Frequently Asked Questions how stays that span the promo period post. However, I now have personal experience with this for a stay that began on October 9 and ended on October 12.
\You can access this offer on Hilton’s website here.

The relevant part of the T&Cs:
Offer valid for stays completed October 11 – December 31, 2022 (“Promotion Period”) at any hotel or resort within the Hilton Portfolio. Hilton Honors™ members must first register at hiltonhonors.com/en_US/double-night-credit/landing/ prior to completing a stay within the Promotion Period. Registered Hilton Honors members will earn double night credit per stay during the Promotion Period.
Double night credit means one additional, tier qualifying night credit will be awarded for each night stayed in the promo period. Registered Hilton Honors members will receive double night credit for all nights completed in the Promotion Period, regardless of a check-in date before the Promotion Period begins or a check-out date after the Promotion Period ends. Double nights will count towards Hilton Honors members’ 2022 night count and will be eligible for rollover night credit.
From the FAQs:
Double night credit means one additional, tier qualifying night credit will be awarded for each night stayed in the promo period. Registered Hilton Honors members will receive double night credit for all nights completed in the Promotion Period. Double nights will count towards Hilton Honors members’ 2022 night count and will be eligible for rollover night credit.
If I check-in before October 11, 2022, or check-out after December 31, 2022, do I still earn credit for that stay?
Members can check-in prior to Oct 11th but they will only receive credit for nights completed starting the night of Oct 11th – Dec 31st only.
Stay that began before the promo period:
My stay at the Hilton Fukuoka Seahawk started before this offer was rolled out, and I registered for it before checking out.
It is unclear from the points detail how many qualifying nights I earned from this offer.
I took a screenshot of the account status before this stay posted. I had 86 qualifying nights for 2022.
The stay at the Hilton Fukuoka Seahawk was for 3 nights, but I received elite night credit for 4. One of the nights fell within the promo period.
Conclusion
Nights that fall within the promo period, regardless of the check-in or check-out date, will be doubled, but it could be tricky to count them.
My night of October 11 – 12 was correctly recorded and also counted towards Milestone bonus points, as it should. These nights must also count towards the 1,000 nights requirement for the lifetime Diamond.
