It’s Free Points Thursday, with Deal Daddy flagging an easy way to bag yourself 250 Shangri-La Golden Circle points, and now this: 2,000 free Hilton Honors points for people who sign up here and stay at least once by 15 December.

The offer is limited to new members, and we fully appreciate/hope that most of our regular readers will already be members of the excellent Hilton Honors – however, this is in any event one to flag to your partners, parents, colleagues etc. Arguably you might even do so in lieu of a Christmas present…

The added benefits of Hilton Honors

Joining Hilton Honors really is an absolute must if you ever stay at Hilton hotels (and indeed could be a very good reason to start staying if you don’t already). However, in addition to the immediate benefits (flagged here), there are certain substantial fringe benefits. Perhaps the most appealing of these is the substantial additional savings you get in Hilton sales, including the current Winter Sale.

We’ve flagged some of the best offers in the Hilton Winter Sale here, and with your new Hilton Honors membership and promise of the bonus points, now is as good a time as any to make that first booking.

Anything else?

Yes, you’ll also earn double Hilton Honors points on stays, in the current Hilton bonus points promo. So, to be clear, you’ll earn double Hilton points on your stay (as any Hilton Honors member will, if they sign up to the promo), plus the bonus 2000 points (as a new member).
