If you have any Hilton stays planned, or have been looking at Hilton properties and comparing hotel chain award stays, this sale will interest you! Hilton Honors promotion of 50% savings when you purchase points is ending on October 5th. To receive the 50% discount, you must purchase a minimum of 5,000 Hilton Honors points. This means $5.00 per 1,000 Hilton Honors points. Hilton members are allowed to purchase up to 80,000 Hilton Honors points a year. So if you need to add to your stash of Hilton Honors points for some planned stays, or are tapped out and need some points, this is as good a deal as Hilton offers. Your points will post to your account within 24 hours.

My favorite use of Hilton Honors points was for a 5th night free stay in Budapest where I enjoyed 5 nights for the cost of 4 nights worth of points. They have my favorite Hilton lounge! I’ve also learned a lot about how to maximize my Hilton points from reading Ric at Loyalty Traveler. He’s great at creating category charts that show the Hilton properties around the world. I particularly enjoy the value of Hilton points in Europe.  Here are some pics of the Hilton Budapest lounge:

Hilton’s loyalty program has some great features. My favorite is the ability to pool points. You can pool Hilton Honors points among multiple accounts, so this gives you the opportunity to book longer stays.  I also like that throughout the year, Hilton gives us recurring chances to purchase points, though this deal at 50% off is as good as it gets. As always, math is your friend. With the holidays coming up and many of us planning our travels for next year, if we’re heading anywhere either in the states or overseas, I’m thinking we’ll be able to put this sale to good use!
