Double Dipping and Double Miles with a new AAdvantage Bonus offer from Hilton

I was traveling the other day and somehow missed this, but Ric over at Loyalty Traveler wrote about a new offer from Hilton:

Earn Double American Airlines AAdvantage Miles Toward Your Next Flight Award.

Take off on your next flight award faster with Hilton HHonors and American Airlines. Sign up for this offer to earn double AAdvantage miles when you book and complete a stay by March 31, 2012 at participating hotels and resorts within the Hilton Worldwide portfolio. Be sure to select American Airlines as your preferred Double Dip Points & Miles Partner in your HHonors profile to qualify for this offer. Earn double the rewards and get to experiences worth sharing faster than ever.

Ric also writes that this offer can be combined with the 5,000 points you can earn with the Hilton “More Bonus Points” offer.

Editors note: Jade asked a great question in the comment section: “Should we set the profile as Points or Miles?”. I should have mentioned this, but in order to earn both Points and Miles, you will need to go to the Hilton Honors website, access your account, and check your Profil to confirm that “Earning Points and Miles” preference is:

Double Dip Earnings Style Options
Your current Double Dip Earnings Style is HHonors Points and Variable Miles.

Go here to register for the Double AAdvantage Miles offer.

Visit Loyalty Traveler to read Ric’s post and to find out how you can double dip and earn the extra 5,000 Hilton points.
