25% Off Hilton Hotels with Visa Card

Hilton Hotels is offering a deal that may be hard to refuse for those of us who are a little strapped for cash these days (and who isn’t?). That is, for those of us who have a Visa Signature, Visa Platinum (me) or Visa Infinite card. From now until September 30, 2009, card holders can save up to 25% off the best available room rates at participating Hiltons around the globe. Your only question should be whether or not you can get a better deal through a site such as Priceline.

“Hilton’s offer for Visa premium cardholders comes at the perfect time for travelers looking for a more affordable way to hit the road this summer,” said Dave Horton, Global Head – Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “With more than 500 hotels and resorts to choose from, Hilton offers something for everyone, whether they’re looking for a memory-making family getaway, a romantic couples’ trip, or a fun-filled weekend away with good friends.”

How do you get the deal? It’s super easy. All you need to do is book your room through hilton.com/visa or visa.com/signature. Don’t already have a swanky Visa card? Well, you can apply for a Visa card or book a room through Hilton’s pre-payment offer, which provides room savings of 20%.

Terms and Conditions (or the Fine Print):

Offer is valid for Visa Infinite and Visa Signature cardholders globally. Offer is valid for Visa Platinum cardholders in Latin America, the Caribbean, South Africa, and Asia Pacific. In order to receive the 25% discount from the hotel’s Best Available Rate, payment at hotel must be made with Visa Signature, Visa Infinite or Visa Platinum credit card.

Subject to availability. Valid for stays at participating Hilton hotels from 5/1/09 – 9/30/09.

Other restrictions apply. Subject to full terms and conditions at https://www.hilton.com/en/hi/promotions/promotion_terms.jhtml?id=hi_visa_main&termsType=program

We all know Hilton is a great deal for travelers. With the Hilton HHonors program, you can “double dip” earning both hotel points and airline miles during your stay. That being the case, it is one of the most flexible awards programs around. However, by earning both points and miles you aren’t able to earn the same quantity you can with other programs. Overall, though, it’s a good deal for business travelers.
