Get A 100% Bonus When You Buy Hilton Points
Hilton recently devalued their points, but there are still bargains to be had if you find standard room award space.
From now through 5/6, you can get a 100% bonus when you buy Hilton points.
For example, 80K points are normally $800 and with this sale you’ll get 160K points for $800. That’s just 0.5 cents per point.
Need more than 160K points? Friends and Family can transfer Hilton points to each other for free, so you can buy points from multiple accounts and then transfer them!
Earn points with Hilton consumer cards or The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card.
You can also transfer AMEX points to Hilton currently at a 1:2.6 ratio.
That will only make sense to buy if you have a specific redemption in mind or if you need more points to have enough to redeem for a 5 night stay, but I wouldn’t buy points speculatively due to the risk of devaluation, room availability, and hotels being able to leave the Hilton brand.
If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status you get the 5th night free on all award redemptions.
When will it make sense to buy points? An overwater villa with a private pool in the Conrad Maldives can cost $1,800-$3,500 after tax, but its bookable for just 120K points. That’s like paying $600/night with points from this deal. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 96K points/night or just $475/night if you buy points for 0.5 cents each.
5 nights in the Maldives is pretty much the definition of Heaven on Earth. Read more about the Conrad Maldives here.

Most Hilton hotels are capped at a cost of 120K points per night for a standard room, but the Waldorf Astoria Maldives costs 150K points/night. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 120K points/night or from $600/night if you buy points for 0.5 cents each.
That’s an incredible value compared to the paid rates of $2,500-$4,000 after taxes:
The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is 120K points per night as well. It’s Trip Advisor’s top ranked hotel in Cabo and is Travel + Leisure’s World’s top resort in Mexico.
With a 5 night stay you can pay 96K points per night with the 5th night free award that is available to Hilton cardholders and elites.
Even the base rooms come with a private plunge pool. That’s an incredible value compared to the paid rates of $2,500-$4,000 after taxes:
Chabad of Cabo has tourist information on their website. They’re located just 1.2 miles from the Waldorf! Discuss more about Cabo on DDF here.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem charges 95K points per night when they have standard room availability.
If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 76K points/night or $380/night with this deal.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is one of the finest hotels in Israel.

There is a mind-boggling quantity of awesome kosher food at the hotel’s daily breakfast, from dozens of daily hot dishes to hard cheeses, fresh fruits and pastries to fresh squeezed juices, as well as on-demand dishes like french toast, pancakes, waffles, and eggs. Unlimited wine, hot or cold chocolate drinks, and espresso drinks are included as well!
Breakfast is free on points stays if you have Gold or Diamond status, which you can get just by having a Hilton credit card.
With a breakfast like this, you may not even be hungry for dinner…

Will you buy Hilton points with this deal? What aspirational hotel redemption are you gunning for?
House car at Waldorf Beverly Hills was not a Rolls Royce when we were there in January. I forgot what it was. Nice car, but definitely not a Rolls.
That’s a shame. Was a Rolls when we were there in March 2020.
Did you ask about it?
