Buy Hilton Points With 100% Bonus And Annual Cap Doubled

Hilton has brought back its 100% bonus for buying Hilton Points with the annual cap being doubled to 160,000 points (320,000 points with the bonus.) To get the bonus you need to purchase at least 5,000 Hilton points before the 19th of September. But the million-dollar question remains… Should you buy Hilton Points with a 100% bonus? Is it good value? Read on to find out…

Is it worth buying Hilton Points?

Here you are purchasing points for around 0.39P each (varying on the exchange rate.) Although I value the points I have at 0.5p each I’m not a purchaser at this rate UNLESS:

1. In some cash-expensive hotels buying points and redeeming them for a stay is better value than paying cash. This is especially true if you hold any Hilton status and get 5 nights for the price of 4. If you don’t hold any Hilton status take a look at Hilton’s Status match site to see if you qualify!) A good example where points are great value is the Waldorf Astoria Maldives – here a random 5-night stay will set you back $14,760.41 or 600,000 Hilton points which with this offer (if you could buy enough) would cost you $3,000… a lot better value.

2. I need the points to top me up to make a redemption

If you are a few points short of the amount needed for a redemption the price per point isn’t really a concern. Now would be as good time as any to top up your point collection!

The standard annual cap of being able to purchase 80,000 Hilton points per calendar year has been DOUBLED so with the 100% bonus you can purchase 320,000 points for $1,600 (approx £1255.) At other times the offer runs with the annual cap doubled, tripled or without the annual cap being changed.
