One of the best pieces of travel advice I received a few years ago was to sign up for Hilton’s HHonors rewards program. At the time I wasn’t traveling too much, but a friend of mine said “You’d be surprised how quickly you rack those points up.”
So, I signed up. What’s nice about Hilton HHonors is that not only do you get points for staying at Hilton hotels, you also earn them for staying at other Hilton properties, like the Hampton Inn, Doubletree and others. Over the years I’ve been an HHonors member, I’ve enjoyed fun points bonuses, free beverages and snacks in my room and free room upgrades.
This summer, our family took a trip to California, and we used my Hilton HHonors points for two free nights at the Universal Studios Hilton! (How amazing is that? I saved that receipt when we checked out!)
Signing up for Hilton HHonors is free!
Right now, Hilton HHonors is also running a points special through the end of September:
Get to your next getaway three times faster with the Hilton HHonors Triple Your Trip promotion. Sign up and stay Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights to earn Triple HHonors Points from July 9 through September 30, 2013. And earn Double HHonors Points on Monday through Thursday at participating hotels and resorts. If you’re not a member, join today. Because whether you’re earning Double Points on business or Triple Points on a weekend away, you can always count on HHonors to get you to your next getaway faster.

I am a member too, because our favorite place to stay at is Hampton Inn. Our kids LOOOVE their free breakfast and it saves us a lot of money too.
Note that you get points only when you book trough them and not if you go trough Expedia or whatever else.
