To the point Until December 31, 2024, you can earn a 100% bonus when you purchase Hilton Honors points! Is that interesting? Yes and no!

Buy Hilton Honors Points Promo

Until December 31, 2024, you can earn 100% bonus Hilton Honors points by purchasing points.

This is a recurring promotion. The last one ended on November 27, 2024 and also offered a 100% points bonus.

You can purchase up to 240,000 Hilton Honors points and earn 240,000 bonus points in a single transaction as part of this promotion. The cost will be 2,400 USD, or 0.05 US cent per point.

A minimum of 5,000 points must be purchased to benefit, and sales tax is added to the transaction.

How to earn Hilton Honors points

For Canadians, Hilton Honors points are hard to come by. In fact, only the American Express Membership Rewards program allows you to transfer points to the Hilton Honors program, with a transfer rate of 1:1.

For example, 30,000 Membership Rewards points can be transferred into 30,000 Hilton Honors points.

Then there are three solutions:

We do not recommend buying points during regular periods, as it is more advantageous during promotional periods, as is currently the case.

Hilton Honors often runs point purchase promotions: take advantage of them to buy points whenever you can (sometimes the maximum allowed per calendar year is waived).

The transaction will be carried out in US dollars. We recommend that you use a card that does not charge foreign currency conversion fees to avoid paying a 2.5% conversion fee:

Note that points are purchased on Points.com, a site external to Hilton Honors. Therefore, this transaction does not count as a “travel” expense.

Ordinary, buying Hilton Honors points costs 0.01 USD / point (0.014 CAD) : the savings represented by this bonus are therefore substantial by obtaining points at 0.005 USD ( 0.0068 CAD)

Is buying Hilton Honors points worth it?

The answer to this question is yes and no:

  • If you have no travel plans, don’t buy points.

Here’s an example of where it’s worth buying points. A hotel close to a very popular music festival, Untold in Romania.

For 5 nights, this hotel costs over 2,000 euros, or around 2,200 USD.

Now, buying 60,000 Hilton Honors points (and getting 60,000 bonus points) for 600 USD, it’s possible to book those five nights in the same hotel (4 nights + 1 night free when booking with points).
