There are times when you are looking at an amazing hotel redemption for that quick weekend getaway but end up falling short on points. Many of us would just buy a block of points to hit our goals. If a Hilton Hotels property is on your radar, there’s a new Purchase Hilton Honors points bonus promotion where you can get double the points for the same price.
Buy Hilton Honors Points at Half price
To avail of this offer, you’d have to purchase upwards of 10,000 Hilton Honors points after logging into their website through July 29, 2021. While checking out, you’ll be able to see that the bonus has been added. In the end, each point comes at a price of USD 0.005 or INR 0.37 equivalent.
Hilton Honors members are usually permitted to buy up to 80,000 points each calendar year. However, for the duration of this promotion, you can buy a maximum of 160,000 points when you have the 100% bonus applied.
Now that you have the points, what may be a great redemption? Look at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hill. A night there on average costs around USD 725++. You can instead, pay 95,000 Hilton Honors points which, assuming that you bought during this promotion, would cost you USD 475. That’s a 40% saving!
Or how about the Conrad Maldives, which is a great island property, and a hot favourite for those travelling from India for their vacations to the Maldives, which has resumed.

It retails at USD 850++ but could be yours for 95K points again. Read a review of the Conrad Maldives here.
Want to stay a few more nights? Pick up a package or two using your friend’s or spouse’s account & pool your points. And if you are an elite, that suite upgrade may be right around the corner. Also, do remember that elites get the 5th night free, so you could potentially have a longer vacation on points if you are an Elite with Hilton Honors.
Bottomline
Hilton Honors regularly comes out with promotions offering anywhere between 60% to 80% bonus points on purchases. A 100% bonus does not come often. This may be an offer worth considering if you are planning on stocking up on Hilton Honors points for your next vacation. Additionally, this time around, you get an added bonus of a doubled points purchase limit of 80,000, which means you get a total of 160,000 points if you would like to purchase.
Will you be buying Hilton Honors points with this promotion? Let us know.

Ajay is there any worthy Indian property to get maximum be benefit out of HHonors points?
Just like Hyatt Kochi for World of Hyatt?
@Ajay, Just little curious as this article is posted by you on 19 MAY 2021, but how come the comments added back in 2019 and 2020 ?
Reg your comparison of Conrod Maldives, now the same beach villa rates are as low as 505 -550$, is that 850++ after adding all taxes ? and when we book with HH points, do we get full board ? or only room only rates.. thanks in advance.
And it seems no taxes while we book with HH points.. well, that’s a relief !
@Rakesh, with this post, I updated a prior post so that people don’t miss out on earlier comments which are of interest to them. The math works at high-priced hotels, so you will have to do the math for every hotel at your planned time. For instance, if a hotel in India is going for 3K INR, obviously better to pay cash.
$850-900 upwards is the season rate when it is not raining in Maldives, wonder what dates are you checking. When you book with points, you get room + if you have status with Hilton you get breakfast and perks. For any points booking, there is no taxes as the tax is also paid by HHonors to the property.
Hi
I can only buy 80k+80k points..can you please check again??
@dushyant, is yours a new account?
Yeah got a gold status with amex plat!!
i am not able to buy points, i just signed in for the programme a day back any ideas ?
A friend and I just bought 160k points each. Thanks to this article!
Hi Ajay,
Can anybody avail the offer?
Also what would be considered as an activity once a year to keep the points active?
Thanks
@Shyantanu, yes anyone can avail this offer. Earning or spending would mean you kept the points active.
Well, do this with citi prestiage for double dip and get 4X points which intern become 16 Avois per 100 Rs 🙂 .
Hi, can you tell me where you burn your Citi Prestige points? I’ve got the invitation for Citi Prestige but I’m still not able to make up my mind. Besides good earning and redemption ratio, there’s nothing much in the card left.
Though I would love to burn points for business/first class tickets. Just wanted to know your review if you happen to have one. Thanks
I am a presige user.. can you explain step by step what is to be done?
What relation do avios n Hilton points have?
And how does 4x point work?
Bought a few points for my next trip. Thanks!
Do these points have to be used in this calendar year?
Is this offer available to newly registered members?
And
What’s the validity of these points?
@Amit available to everyone. You need one activity a year to keep them active.
That is slightly incorrect. In order to available the offer you need to have atleast 1 activity in the last 12 months. Confirmed by Hilton Honors team.
Hi Ajay,
Any chances of Hilton or Marriott based co branded credit cards coming ?
@Pradeep don’t think so
