Hilton 2018 Q1 Promotion Strategy
Points Unlimited Promotion
'Earn 2,000 Bonus Points on every stay plus an additional 10,000 Points on every 5 stays from January 1 - April 30, 2018. There's no limit on the amount of Bonus Points you can earn.'
Hilton's Q1 promotion looks all decent to me, you can sign up for the promotion at the link below:
For the condition to get unlimited points where 2000 points is rewarded for every stay, and an additional 10,000 points after 5 stays. In theory, If you will end up having 5x stays, you can considered it as 4000 points every stay you will get. This is not the most exciting part here.
As you can see the lowest category of Hilton properties only cost 5000 points to redeem for one night, out of those category 1 properties, those in Egypt have to be the most worthy of them all as they are actually Hiltons where you have lounge access and happy hour etc. Here you can find the list of Category 1 Hilton Properties (65 in total):

Or for a better visual representation, you can look through this cart on google maps:
The excitement doesn't just end here, Hilton currently has an status challenge where you can keep you status til 2019 if you in 90 days complete 4 stays to retain gold status or 8 stays to retain diamond status. You will get all the benefits of a diamond member during the 90 months period. You can request the status match challenge here or simply just use the online chat service to ask that with a agent.
For the Q1 promotion and the 90 day status challenge, reward nights also counts towards stays you need to complete the challenge.
At many Hilton brands like Hilton and DoubleTree, you will get 1000 points each time as welcome benefits, so if you choose to for example use 50,000 points to redeem for 10 nights at Hilton Category 1 properties, and those brands offer 1000 points welcome benefit, your return for 10 nights would be 2000 x 10 + 10,000 x 2 + 1000 x 10 = 50,000 points which you get to live at hotels for free. In addition to the 10 free hotel nights, you will attain your Hilton diamond status til the end of March 2019.
Do you have anything better to add? Maybe you are already booking your flights to Cairo?
