Up to 100% Hilton buy bonus
The latest Hilton points bonus is available for buying points with up to a 100% bonus. I only got offered 80%, but that may be because I have bought a lot of points recently. I saved around £10,000 on a 5-night stay at a very expensive Caribbean hotel by buying nearly all the points and then using the buy 4 nights, get 1 free offer, which is available to Hilton status holders when redeeming points. The bonus is available when you buy 3000 – 5000 points or more by 29 May. This also seems to be tailored as most people have 5000 points whereas I have 3000 as the minimum. I also have a limit of 240,000 purchased points per year whereas the general limit is 160,000. So it is worth double-checkingall the details before you purchase.
I’d never suggest buying on speculation, but it is always worth looking at any hotel stays you may have planned to see if there is a saving. The other example, besides a high-end hotel, is hotels near an event that often hike prices even before many rooms have sold. This can mean there are still relatively cheap points rooms available, which work out much more reasonable when buying points than paying cash. Hilton Wembley is a good example of this, where I recently saved hundreds of pounds by buying points.
You can’t buy points immediately when you open an account, so even if your partner or spouse doesn’t have an account, it could be worth opening one as a future-proof strategy in case you ever need to buy more than the maximum amount allowed. Pooling and transferring points is free with Hilton. You have to wait 90 days after opening an account to buy points until you earn some points when it becomes 30 days after opening.
