Get 8x ThankYou Points at Hilton Hotels

If you have a Citi ThankYou® Premier Card, check your email for the subject line "Earn 5 additional ThankYou® Points on stays within the Hilton Portfolio | Enroll in one click!"

The Citi ThankYou® Premier Card already earns 3x points on gas and travel, including of course hotel stays, so once enrolled you will earn 8 total ThankYou Points per dollar on Hilton stays, the normal 3 plus the bonus 5.

The 8x is valid through May 31, 2016 on your first $1,000 spent at Hilton hotels, including all these brands.
