Finding points promotions on the web site
I find the HHonors web site very difficult to use. I have yet to be able to go to a single page or link to locate current promotions. Search as I might, to no avail, can I find any reference to the current Double Points, Double Miles promotion, nor to what I thought was a special current Diners Club promo. Not to mention the fact that there is an internet booking bonus.
Does anyone have a link that will take me to the appropriate page that lists such promotions? How do others find out what's current in the HHonors program, beyond what gets posted here in FT? [Afterall, the newsletter/account statement takes forever to reach me by mail.]

I find the best source is FT. Hilton seems to not want you to know about many promos. Sometimes they are just in news releases, sometimes on the front page and sometimes at the hotel site.

This is the only page I know that shows some of the current promotions.

It is difficult sometimes to find promotion, this last Double Miles promotion they had, and they even had the nerve of displaying "You found Miles!" Which was buried among their pages, and if I had not found the link in FT, I would probably have not found it. FT is your best choice.

No disagreement here. It is so difficult to use that I used to go to Marriots to find hotels because their site was so much easier. However, now that I am HH Gold and addicted to upgraded rooms, I put up with the difficult Hilton site.

Here is one I have found useful. The site allows deal and bonus searches by airline, hotel and credit card.

Just bringing this thread back up (since it still at times seems hard to find bonus promos on the Hilton site) to let you all know that my HHonors Bonus page is still being updated regularily at:
www.frequentflyerbonuses.com/hhonors.html
It lists the majority of bonus promos (non-targetted) available on one easy to read page

I typically do a search in my desired area of travel. Then, when a list of the hotels comes up, I click on the name of each individual hotel and click on "Special Offers" section on the page of this specific hotel (typically the very right item on the menu).
This is, of course, very time consuming but you can find special promos (e.g. Double Points and Miles at certain San Francisco hotels) or special rates. If the hotel has several promotions, one would need to check out a link for each promo to see the rate offered for this promo. It is a very lengthy process but it can yield some great results.
