So I haven't seen a lot of discussion of this offer:

http://frequentmiler.boardingarea.com/2016/11/06/hhonors-app-bonus/comment-page-1/#comment-1849968

Basically there are a lot of questions:

- Can you simply pay part of your Hilton bill, any amount (say $25) and get the 5,000 points? You could then perhaps pay the rest with an Amex card with the $50 off $250 offer say.

- Can you do this multiple times during a single stay, say paying part of the bill with one VISA card and part with another?

- What about say two back-to-back one night stays at the same property? Can you pay each night separately as you would normally do and get 2 x 5,000 points?

Seems like the offer has been around long enough that we might have seen some data points, at least if the bonus points are posting quickly. No idea if they are or not though.
