Hilton's summer 2016 promotion "Unlimited Bonus" announced - 2x points at all properties

Hilton HHonors will soon be launching its promotion for summer 2016, presumably called "Unlimited Bonus". Via FlyerTalk, the Hilton HHonors rep has today issued details about this upcoming promotion.

In summary, this will be a 2x points promotion (ie 1x bonus) on all stays. There are no non-participating properties, which is great news. There is no landing page yet, but registration will be required, when it is open between 29 April and 31 August 2016. The promotion itself will be valid on stays between 1 May and 31 August 2016.

Unlimited here seems to refer to the fact that there are no limitations in terms of participating hotels, and of course, there's no cap on how many bonus points you can earn.

We will post more information on the registration, once it opens.

However, amongst the top programs that I track, Hilton is one of the last to announce their summer 2016 promotion, after IHG's Share Forever, Hyatt's Stay More Play More, and SPG's Triple Up.

Here's what the HHonors rep had to say:
Hi all,
I can finally share the good news about our next promotion – the HHonors Unlimited Bonus Promotion! Here’s the deal: registered members receive Double Points for ALL stays from May 1 – August 31, 2016. There are no minimum stays required to start earning, no minimum number of nights in your stay, no restrictions by nights, cities or brands, and no limit on how many Points you can earn. On top of all of that – ALL hotels are participating. In addition to unlimited Bonus Points, we are also excited to continue our ongoing efforts to send members targeted, personalized offers in parallel with this offer.
Details are listed below:
• Double Points on stays from May 1 – August 31, 2016
• Register between April 29 – August 31, 2016
• Note that the registration link is not up and running just yet, but I will share as soon as possible
• All hotels participating, no Point cap max, no minimum night requirement
So there it is – pretty simple – travel as a Hilton HHonors member and earn unlimited Bonus Points! We know our members love earning Double Points, and we hope you enjoy this rich and uncomplicated offer through the summer.
As always, I’m here for questions and feedback – look forward to hearing from everyone.

Hilton HHonors earns you 10 points per eligible $ spent, so under this promotion, you'll earn 20 points per $, including the bonus. I value HHonors points at Rs 0.19 apiece. So the bonus points represent a value of Rs 1.9 per $ spent, or about 2.8% benefit, in addition to the base points.

Incidentally, 2x points seems to be Hilton's standard now, since their Spring 2016 promotion was also for 2x points or 2x miles.

Readers: What do you think of this new promotion? Has Hilton's creativity reached saturation?

Update: Refer this post for the promotion page and registration details.
