Hilton Honors is offering a 100 percent bonus on points purchases until Thursday, July 8, 2021. Furthermore, the maximum number of points you can buy has been increased from 80,000 to 160,000 (pre-bonus).
You can earn a 100 percent bonus if you buy at least 10,000 points in one transaction, pre-bonus, with this deal.
The cost of purchasing Hilton points is normally one cent per point (including tax), so with a 100 percent bonus, you’d only be paying 0.5 cents per point. If you used the whole promotion, you could get 320,000 Honors points for $1,600.
Nowadays, Hilton allows you to merge points from different accounts for free, so you could buy a lot of points by simply purchasing them from different accounts and then consolidating them. This could also come in handy if you’re in a position where a friend or family member is being considered for a larger incentive than you are.
After 12 months of inactivity, your Hilton Honors points will expire, but any activity will reset the expiration date.
Hilton’s Honors curriculum was drastically altered a few years ago. Hilton has stepped away from the conventional award map and toward more variable pricing.
The good news is that there is still a lot of value to be found, and the program has largely set a limit on how many points hotels will cost. The most expensive standard room costs 95,000 points per night (note that some hotels have higher prices, but only when standard rooms aren’t available). The Waldorf Astoria properties in Los Cabos and the Maldives, which cost up to 120,000 and 150,000 marks, respectively, are the two exceptions.
I valued Hilton Honors points at 0.5 cents each before and after the adjustments, so this price is close to what I paid. However, there are times when you can get a lot more bang for your buck with Hilton points.
