Hilton Honors and Qatar Airways Privilege Club have relaunched their popular annual promotion: from now until August 31, 2026, you can earn 1,000 bonus Avios after just one eligible Hilton stay. This is a simple way to top up your Qatar Avios balance with minimal effort—no long stays or high spend required.
Our Take
Good news for Hilton and Qatar fans. This is an easy, low-effort promotion for anyone with a Hilton stay planned—1,000 Avios is worth ~$14 by our valuation, and all it takes is a single eligible night. While not a game-changer, it's free value for travelers who can register and credit their stay.
What Changed
- Hilton and Qatar Airways Privilege Club are offering 1,000 bonus Avios for one eligible Hilton stay
- Promotion valid for stays completed through August 31, 2026
- Registration required; must be a Hilton Honors and Qatar Privilege Club member
Who Benefits Most
- Qatar Airways Privilege Club members with upcoming Hilton stays: Book a $150 Hilton night, register, and earn 1,000 Avios—worth ~$14—on top of your usual Hilton points.
- Hilton Honors members collecting airline miles: If you prefer Avios over Hilton points, this is a no-brainer bonus for a stay you’d make anyway.
- Travelers topping up for a Qatar Avios redemption: Need a few more Avios for a business class award? This promo gets you there faster with just one night.
- Points maximizers: Stack this with a Hilton credit card spend for double-dipping—earn Hilton points, Avios, and card rewards on the same stay.
Who Should Be Cautious
- Travelers with no Hilton stays planned: The bonus only applies if you have a qualifying stay before August 31, so don’t go out of your way just for 1,000 Avios.
- Those who value Hilton points more: If you prefer to maximize Hilton Honors points (worth 0.4¢ each), switching to Avios for this promo may not be worth the tradeoff unless you need Avios soon.
- Non-Qatar flyers: If you rarely use Qatar Airways or Avios partners, this bonus may not be as valuable to you.
What To Do Right Now
- Register for the promotion on Hilton’s or Qatar’s website before your stay.
- Link your Hilton Honors and Qatar Privilege Club accounts if you haven’t already.
- Book and complete an eligible Hilton stay by August 31, 2026.
- Ensure your Hilton earning preference is set to airline miles/Qatar Avios for this stay.
- Watch for your 1,000 Avios to post—typically within a few weeks after checkout.
