The Offer
No direct link; log in to your Hilton Honors account and head to the buy points screen. I don’t believe e-mails have been sent out about the offer yet.
- Buy 5,000+ Hilton Honors points thru May 13, 2017 and get an 100% bonus.
- A maximum of 80,000 Hilton Honors points can be purchased per year, so the maximum bonus is +80,000 Hilton Honors points (160,000 total points, $800).
- Some Hilton Honors members may be able to purchase 160,000 points per year, doubling those numbers.
Our Verdict
Basically unchanged from the 80% bonus offer that ended in February. You’re buying points for 0.5 cpp, so if you have a firm redemption in mind that will beat 0.5 cpp, this is a pretty good deal—especially if you have status and the boost lets you reserve 5 nights, so that you get the 5th night free. If you don’t have a firm redemption in mind, I would advise against speculatively buying points. It’s often difficult to redeem Hilton points for more than 0.5 cpp and more so than ever with the changes to the Hilton Honors program.
We don’t know if this works with a cashback portal, but if it did you’d able to reduce your costs further. I can’t say what would happen since you have to buy points on the Hilton.com purchase page, but it is through Points.com. If you have DPs, please comment below!
If you don’t have the American Express Hilton cards, it would be much more efficient to nab the signup bonus on those two cards. We have a referral thread (which also includes other American Express cards) that will net you 100k Hilton Honors points for the Hilton HHonors Surpass ($3,000 spend) and 75k Hilton Honors points for the Hilton HHonors ($1,000 spend).
It’s also far more efficient to MS the points, which you can read about in the 80% bonus offer post.
