The Hilton HHonors frequent guest program has a new promotion that starts October 1 and goes through December 31, 2011. It is called Fast Ways to Free Stays and gives you a choice of earning either double points or free nights. A free night is earned after every fourth stay or tenth night. Double points are earned for every stay. It is your choice, but the rules state that once you make your selection it cannot be changed. Here is the link to register for this new promotion. Register

I love free night promotions, but the long list of excluded hotels will make it difficult for me to earn a free night certificate. My plan is to wait to register for this promotion.
