Hilton Honors and Visa are offering 1,000 Hilton points by simply signing up for a mobile messaging program with Visa. If you register a valid Visa credit card you’ll earn the points. Plus, you’ll be registered to receive a weekly special offer from Visa each week. Once you spend $100 on one of their offers, you’ll earn an additional 4,000 Hilton points.
How To Register
- You can register here to receive mobile messaging
- Must register for the program between January 20, 2012 and June 30, 2012
- Note: I received this promotion through an email and the initial registration site did not have a “https” and I wasn’t sure what the extra “H” was in the site address
- This lead me to initially think it was a phishing attempt for my credit card number and phone number
- The click through registration site is an “https” site which you can see here
- So this looks safe and is mentioned on a few other blogs and sites
- Here is a screenshot from Deals We Like validating this promotion will award you 1,000 Hilton points

Bottom Line
I’m not a big fan of giving out credit card and mobile phone information but this has been confirmed by multiple sources to provide a quick an easy 1,000 Hilton points.

I’ve never received any special offers and I signed up for this a couple weeks ago. Would be nice to see if there’s something worth spending $100.
Hi Arizonaguy – Did the 1,000 points post yet?
Seems to be eligible only for US residents.
Same with me, ArizonaGuy. I haven’t checked to see if the 1000 pts posted yet.
i signed up. I have not received any txt messages from hilton, but I can confirm my 1000 pts posted a fews weeks ago.
Same here, received the 1000 points Feb 7, but no text messages for points by spending $100 or more?
Weird….
I wonder if anyone has started receiving the text messages yet?
Same here! Signed up, forgot about it, got points, was not sure why, but now that I read this post, I remember I signed up…I have not received one single text, so for not being spamed. I have not spent the $100 yet, so no 4000.
Thanks! I just signed up.
Did I miss something? The offer says 4,000 points after spending $100 on an enrolled card at any Hilton hotel or resort. I don’t see anything about spending $100 on their special offers for an additional 4,000 points. Did I misread?
Yes, we both did. I at first thought you just had to spend $100 at a Hilton brand location, but no. It says “redeem your offers” at one of the Hilton brands. So you first have to receive an offer, then go to a Hilton brand location and participate in that offer.
