Right on time, a month after the end of the last promotion, the new Hilton Honors bonus for those who decide [...]
Punctually arrived, one month after the end of the last promotion, the new Hilton Honors bonus for those who decide to Buy loyalty program points and get a bonus of 100% , I repeat the technique of buying to book (and saving money) makes a lot of sense, but toward the end of the year things become more interesting.
In this article:
I have explained several times how the technique of Buying to book can allow you to make large savings and with this promo the interesting thing is that the maximum amount of points that can be bought during the calendar year is also doubled.
How to make the most of Hilton Honors points
Stay in high-end facilities spending less because of points. Most high-end Hilton properties come in at 110/140k points per night for a standard room.
5th night free. Use points to book 5 nights for the price of 4. This benefit is valid for longer stays, so if you stay 10 nights you will get both the 5th and 10th night free.
Combine points with up to 10 other members. Hilton allows members to create a pool With a maximum of 10 people to share points. This makes the annual effective purchase limit much higher when joining forces with other members.
The rules of the "game"
First of all, it is necessary to understand how much it costs to buy points and how many points you can buy.
For simplicity's sake I say. 100K points cost 1000$, e every year there is a limit which sets at 160k points those that can be bought, but right now the limit is raised to 240K. So by taking advantage of this bonus of 100% you can accumulate up to a maximum of 480k Hilton Honors points these points are enough to make five nights in the Maldives saving thousands.
A practical example of how to save thousands
Staying 5 nights in the Maldives at Amingiri Resort & Spa, the last Hilton to open its doors in this corner of paradise costs 110k points per night, taking advantage of the 5th night free means you need 440k points.
The same stay on the same dates, and in the same villa with pool and on the beach in the center of the atoll, costs 7.618$. 
The expense to be incurred for Buy the 440k points needed to pay for the stay is just under 2100€, this means that more than 5000€ can be saved through the buy-and-book strategy.
You can do it all in less than 20 clicks, and it doesn't only apply to the Maldives, but also to Japan, New York or Bora Bora, in fact sometimes you can even save much more.
What to know before buying points
Except in very rare cases the offerings are standard and repetitive, with a regular cadence the offers come out promising almost always the same bonus, if not we will be the first to say whether it is more or less advantageous than usual, but Before you buy you need to keep the rules of the game in view:
- You don't buy them to put them in your pocket, they are not crypto that you hope will grow in value.
- You only buy when there is a bonus, never without
- You buy when you have a plan in mind to use it in the short, medium term. Otherwise, you wait for the next promo.
Having understood these three pillars, we can proceed beyond.
When you book with points you have to remember that, you will not earn base points, but only points on extra expenses, the ones you would make anyway. So when you then draw the line to see if convenient or not, buying points must also take into account the lack of accumulation.
In conclusion
The new promotion giving away 100% of bonus points is active until Nov. 27 if you are looking for how to use your points for the Christmas vacations this bonus is just for you. Since it is (probably) the last bonus of 2024, it is also attractive for doing quick shopping between the last promo on the 24th and the first on the 25th, and then immediately booking your summer vacation thanks to the double purchase.
