Earn Hilton Honors bonus points by booking Delta premium flights
Delta Air Lines and Hilton are teaming up to give loyalty members extra points when they fly in style. If you book and fly any of Delta’s premium cabins (ranging from the extra-legroom Comfort+ to luxurious Delta One suites) between now and mid-September, you can earn 1,000 Hilton Honors points per one-way flight up to a maximum of six flights. That’s up to 6,000 points toward your next Hilton stay.
Here’s how you can take advantage of this offer.
Deal basics

According to TPG’s June 2024 valuations, 6,000 Hilton Honors points are worth $36. You can use these points to help cover some (if not all) of the cost of your Hilton stay, including those at luxury properties and in premium rooms. Remember, though, that these are considered bonus points, so they won’t count toward elite status.

How to get this deal
Before booking your Delta premium flight, you must register for this promotion at this page. You must have both a Hilton Honors and a Delta SkyMiles account. (If you don’t already, you can set them up for free.)
You must also set Delta as your preferred travel partner in your Hilton Honors account. To do this, log into Hilton Honors, head to your profile and select “Travel preferences.” Then, scroll down to the preferred travel partners section, add Delta as a travel partner, enter your Delta SkyMiles number and check the “Preferred” box.
After you do this, make sure you’re signed into your SkyMiles account when you book your ticket. Know that you won’t be able to book someone else’s ticket to take advantage of this promotion; the names on the SkyMiles account, the Hilton Honors account and the ticket must all match.
