Earn as many as 6,000 Hilton Honors points by booking Delta's premium cabins

Delta Air Lines and Hilton have partnered to offer loyalty members additional points when they travel in comfort. By booking and flying any of Delta's premium cabins—from the spacious Comfort+ to the opulent Delta One suites—between now and mid-September, you can accumulate 1,000 Hilton Honors points for each one-way flight, up to six flights. This means you can earn up to 6,000 points for your next Hilton getaway.

Here’s how to make the most of this offer.

Deal details

Airline: Delta

Routes: Any route booked in a premium cabin (Comfort+, first class, Premium Select, or Delta One)

How to book: Directly through Delta; flights must be purchased with cash (not miles)

Register and book by: July 19

Travel dates: June 19 to September 19

What you'll receive: 1,000 bonus Hilton Honors points for each one-way flight booked in a premium cabin

You can accumulate a maximum of 6,000 bonus points by flying six one-way or three round-trip Delta premium flights by September 19. According to the terms and conditions, you can also book a "comparable premium cabin on a flight marketed by Delta's Core Global and Global Airline Partners and ticketed through a Delta channel (with a ticket number starting with '006')."

As per TPG's June 2024 valuations, 6,000 Hilton Honors points equate to $36. These points can be used to offset some or all of your Hilton stay, including at luxury properties and in premium rooms. Keep in mind, however, that these are classified as bonus points, so they won't contribute toward elite status.

How to take advantage of this offer

Before reserving your Delta premium flight, you need to register for this promotion on this page. You must have both a Hilton Honors account and a Delta SkyMiles account. (If you don’t have them yet, setting them up is free.)

Additionally, you need to designate Delta as your preferred travel partner in your Hilton Honors account. To do this, log into Hilton Honors, go to your profile, and select "Travel preferences." Then, scroll to the preferred travel partners section, add Delta as your partner, enter your Delta SkyMiles number, and check the "Preferred" box.

Once you've done that, ensure you’re signed into your SkyMiles account when booking your ticket. Remember, you can’t book a ticket for someone else to benefit from this promotion; the names on the SkyMiles account, Hilton Honors account, and ticket must all match.
