With a promotion, you can get a 100% bonus on Hilton Honors points when buying points from August 5 to September 25, 2026.
The bonus applies from 5,000 points purchased, and the tiers offered vary from account to account. In this round, some members are offered up to 300,000 points before bonus, or 600,000 points total for $3,000 USD. The cost then comes down to 0.5 US cents per point.
Hilton documents a cap of 160,000 points per calendar year for online purchases. A promotion like this raises that cap for its duration, but the amount offered depends on your account: open the purchase page to see yours before planning a spend.
Sales taxes are added to the transaction.
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.

We advise against buying points at their normal price, as it is much more advantageous to do so during bonus promotions, 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).

Note that points are purchased on Points.com, a site external to Hilton Honors. Therefore, this transaction does not count as a “travel” expense for Hilton Honors card benefits.
The answer to this question is yes… but only in certain situations:
Here is a concrete example where buying points is advantageous: a hotel near a very popular music festival, Untold in Romania.
For 5 nights, this hotel costs over 2,000 euros, or approximately $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).
So buying Hilton Honors points can be interesting for some, whether it’s for a specific travel purpose and/or to top up a points balance for a free night.
However, if you are not in one of these situations, we advise you against buying points. It will be more beneficial to turn :
