Hilton Points
« on: November 30, 2016, 04:36:38 PM »
Besides hotel stays, hilton mall spend, CC spend and/or sign on bonuses, what's the best way to earn HHonors points (or transfer from other programs)?  I'm trying to accrue 35k for an award stay.  TIA.

You can transfer MR at a 1:1.5 ratio or transfer UR to VS which then transfers to HH at a 1:1.5 ratio. Neither option is getting good value out of your points.

Thanks.  It's for an aspirational award I'm just short of and wanted to know all my options.

They were running a targeted promotion to buy points for .5 cents each, I'm not sure if it's still running but you can check your account.

Funny.  I just got targeted with the same promo.

What do people normally value Hilton points at?
