American Express just dropped a mid-month transfer bonus that Hilton fans should enjoy.

Now, through March 14, 2025, you can get a 25% bonus when you transfer points to Hilton Honors.

These bonuses usually pop up on the first of the month, so this is a nice Valentine’s Day surprise.

Let’s take a look at the details of this bonus!

Hilton Honors Transfer Bonus

Typically, you can transfer Amex Membership Rewards points to Hilton Honors at a 1:2 ratio, which means you’ll get 2 Hilton Honors points for every Amex Membership Rewards point you move over to the program.

Now, thanks to this offer, you can get 2,500 Hilton Honors points for every 1,000 Membership Rewards points you transfer — a bonus of 25%. This offer is valid through March 14, 2025, so if you’re interested, make sure you make your transfers before that date.

Is It Worth It?

Amex Membership Rewards points are some of the easiest to earn through cards like The Platinum Card® from American Express and American Express® Gold Card. And they’re the most valuable flexible points around, worth 2.2 cents apiece according to our valuations. Because we value Hilton Honors points at 0.5 cents apiece, you’ll likely lose value when you transfer Amex points to Hilton.

However, transferring Amex points over to Hilton can make sense if you need to top off your account balance for a specific Hilton redemption or if you have a short, inexpensive stay.

There are more than 6,000 hotels spanning 6 continents in Hilton’s portfolio. But it doesn’t use an award chart like some chains do (Hyatt, for example). Instead, Hilton uses variable award pricing, which means the number of points you may spend can vary by day. Sometimes, that can work in your favor.

For example, if you found yourself short a few thousand points before booking a stay at The Gates Hotel South Beach – a DoubleTree by Hilton in Miami (with nights starting at 45,000 Hilton Honors points), a 25% transfer bonus can actually be a pretty good deal. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense to completely drain your balance of Amex points to transfer to Hilton.

Final Thoughts

Even though we’ve seen this Amex-to-Hilton bonus before, it’s always a nice surprise. If you have a Hilton redemption coming up soon, using some of your Amex points (at a 25% bonus) could be a decent deal, depending on the property you’re looking at. Just remember to transfer your points over to Hilton before March 14, 2025.

Otherwise, you may want to save your Amex points for even better transfer partners, like Air Canada or Virgin Atlantic.
