Buy Hilton Honors Points With a 100% Bonus [Until November 21]

Hilton is out with a new sale, selling points with up to a 100% bonus through November 21, 2025.

If you’re eligible for this offer, you can buy points at 0.5 cents apiece — the same value as what we assign to Hilton points — and can use this offer to save money on hotel stays or top up your account for future redemptions.

Let’s examine all the details of this promotion and when it makes sense to purchase Hilton points.

Buy Hilton Points Offer Details

Hilton Honors is out with a new offer that lets members buy points with a 100% bonus, dropping the per-point cost to just 0.50 cents. You may be targeted with a lower offer or no offer at all, but you’ll need to buy at least 5,000 points to get a bonus. Buying 1,000 to 4,000 points doesn’t have any bonus.

For reference, we value Hilton Honors points at 0.5 cents each. Hilton Honors members can usually purchase up to 80,000 points per year, but the maximum for this promotion has been raised to 160,000 points before the bonus. This means you can buy up to 320,000 points with this promotion.

This is better than the previous offer from Hilton, selling points with an 80% bonus and a per-point cost of 0.56 cents.

Here’s some more information you should know about this latest promo:

• This offer is available through November 21, 2025.
• The bonus kicks in when purchasing 5,000 or more points.
• Purchases of 1,000 to 4,000 points have the standard price of 1 cent per point.
• Purchases are nonrefundable.
• Points do not count toward Hilton elite status.

Is Buying Hilton Points Worth It?

There are times when purchasing points makes sense, especially when cash prices are high. Although Hilton Honors has devalued its best properties (look at you, Conrad Maldives and Conrad Bora Bora), there are still instances when a promotion like this can be valuable.

Hilton Honors doesn’t publish an award chart, but it does feature standard award levels and premium room award levels. At some luxury properties, standard rooms can now cost up to 250,000 points per night. Premium room rewards, meanwhile, have no limit and can frequently cost around 1 million points per night. Those are almost never worth it.

However, when you can find standard award availability, there’s still great value to be had. Here’s a look at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, where rates for standard award rooms can be found for 180,000 points per night:

Hilton Honors gives you the fifth night free on award stays, which means a 5-night stay here will run you 720,000 points. With the current sale, if you’re targeted for the 100% bonus, you could buy the maximum 160,000 points for $1,600 and receive 320,000 points — enough to cover almost 2 nights of your stay. If you and other members of your family buy points and then pool them together (which Hilton lets you do for free), you could buy 720,000 points for $3,600.

Since rates here can easily surpass $1,000 on prepaid, nonrefundable rooms, buying 180,000 points (at 0.5 cents each) might be worth it. You’ll pay $900 for the necessary points, so this deal will make sense whenever rates are high. It makes even more sense if you’re using the fifth-night-free benefit on points redemptions.

Other Ways To Earn Hilton Honors Points

The above example is great, but as we mentioned, Hilton Honors limits the number of points you can purchase each year. Luckily, if you’re dreaming of a luxurious vacation, there are other ways to earn plenty of Hilton Honors points:

• Cobranded credit cards: Hilton Honors has a handful of cobranded credit cards offering lucrative welcome bonus offers.
• Points pooling: Hilton Honors allows you to pool your points with up to 10 people for free. This means you, your mom, your sister, and a few friends can all max out this bonus and pool your points together for a fabulous vacation.
• Transfer points: You can transfer points from American Express Membership Rewards at a 1:2 ratio, meaning 1 Amex point becomes 2 Hilton Honors points. With a transfer bonus, you may find even greater value.

Final Thoughts

It doesn’t usually make sense to purchase points without a specific redemption in mind. However, if you can find a good use for these points — and it makes sense to purchase them when you compare that to the cash price of the stay — this Hilton promotion is as good as it gets.

Otherwise, you’ll want to rely on cobranded credit cards and transferring points from American Express Membership Rewards to build your balance of Hilton Honors points.

For those interested in buying Hilton points, you can do so until November 21 with this offer.
