Hilton Honors is currently running a very strong points sale through May 29, 2025. By purchasing points, members can receive up to a 100% bonus. One important detail: different members may see different offers, so be sure to log in to your account and check what promotion you’re eligible for.
In this promotion, the best offer is a 100% bonus when you buy at least 5000 points. That means if you purchase 320,000 points, your total cost is just $1,600, which works out to only 0.5 cents per Hilton Honors point.
- Maximum purchase amount: Each member can buy up to 160,000 points per year, and with a 100% bonus, you can receive as many as 320,000 points.
- Combine across accounts: You can purchase points across accounts and combine them for free, which can help you get even more points.
Hilton Honors point purchases are processed by points.com, so the charge does not count as hotel spending or any other bonus category. Because of that, the best use may be toward meeting a minimum spending requirement for a welcome bonus, such as the current $5,000 spending requirement on the Sapphire Preferred card.

So, is buying these points worth it? That depends on whether you have a good redemption in mind. At some luxury properties, such as Waldorf Astoria Maldives and Conrad Bora Bora, you may be able to book a night for just 120,000 to 150,000 points, while cash rates are often over $1,000 per night. That’s where promotions like this can provide outsized value and significantly reduce your lodging cost.
