Hilton Honors and Qatar Airways Privilege Club have relaunched their annual partnership promotion, offering travelers a simple way to earn extra rewards. Through August 31, 2026, you can earn 1,000 bonus Qatar Airways Avios after completing just one eligible Hilton stay—no minimum spend or night requirement.
Our Take
Good news for casual Hilton guests and Avios collectors. This is an easy, low-effort way to top up your Avios balance with minimal commitment. While 1,000 Avios isn't a game-changer, it's a solid freebie for anyone with a Hilton stay planned, and the lack of a minimum spend makes this a true "why not" offer.
What Changed
- New promotion: Earn 1,000 bonus Qatar Airways Avios after one eligible Hilton stay
- No minimum spend or nights required—just register and complete a stay
- Promotion valid for stays through August 31, 2026
- Registration required before your stay (see AwardWallet source)
Who Benefits Most
- Hilton guests with upcoming stays: If you have a Hilton stay (even one night), you can easily earn 1,000 Avios—worth ~$14 at our 1.4¢/Avios valuation—just by registering.
- Qatar Airways Privilege Club members: Need a small Avios top-up for an award flight? This is a no-brainer way to get closer to your next redemption.
- Avios ecosystem fans: Since Qatar Avios can be transferred to British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus, anyone who collects Avios across programs can benefit.
- Travelers with points-earning Hilton cards: Stack this promo with your usual Hilton Honors points and credit card rewards for extra value.
Who Should Be Cautious
- Travelers with no Hilton stays planned: If you’re not staying at Hilton before August 31, this promo won’t help you.
- Those who value Hilton points more than Avios: You’ll need to set your Hilton profile to earn Avios instead of Hilton Honors points for this stay, which may not be optimal for big spenders.
- Frequent Hilton guests on award stays: Not all award stays may qualify—always check the promo terms before booking.
What To Do Right Now
- Register for the promotion via the official Qatar Airways or Hilton Honors link before your stay.
- Set your Hilton Honors earning preference to Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios.
- Book and complete at least one eligible Hilton stay by August 31, 2026.
- After your stay, confirm that 1,000 Avios have posted to your Qatar account (allow a few weeks for posting).
- If you want to switch back to earning Hilton points, update your profile after your stay.
