The Fine Print

  • Unknown end date

Our Verdict

American Express has been doing more and more of these YMMV transfer bonuses. Last year they offered the same bonus but it was up to 50%, I wonder if some people have been targeted for 50% this time as well. Full history of Hilton transfer bonuses is as follows:

Worth .2 cents per point on Amazon.

I just wonder if we’ll get more devaluation of hotel points after all this is over.

Hotel occupancy rates will probable be below average for quite some time.

I got 50%. ..But it it worth it? How much is 1MR point equivalent to cash vs 1Hilton Honor point?

Hey, my wife and I finally have the +50% bonus. Ironically, just cashed out all my points to Schwab. The value is about the same. At least they seem to be extending the 50% offer to everyone.

I just redeemed a bunch of Hilton Points @ .6cpp If I had need of them, this would be amazing. I’m considering it since I got the 50% bonus, but I still have 400k Hilton points in my account. I guess I’ll agonize over this for the next month.

In Dec. 2019 I had the 50% bonus and transferred 300K MR for 900K Hilton pts.. Just checked and I have the 50% bonus again. Debating if I should do deal again for 100K MR. 3X is not a bad transfer but do I need 2 mil Hilton pts.? If Hilton hadn’t closed the lounges in Aruba & Barbados, that’s where I’d be burning pts.. Only option I see that is decent is the all-inclusive in Playa del Carmen. All the other Hilton Carib hotels are dogs.

I believe I have the 50% offer, if I’m not mistaken:
” OFFER 1000 Membership Rewards points = 3000 Hilton Honors Points

Special Offer: Get 50% more Hilton Honors Points when you transfer Membership Rewards points by 4/14/20. See Special Offer Terms*”

Is this worth doing??
