Transfer AMEX Membership Rewards Points Into Hilton Points At A 1K:2.4K Ratio
The AMEX Membership Rewards transfer ratio to Hilton has improved over the years from 1:1 to 1:1.5 to 1:2.
AMEX cardholders can transfer AMEX points to Hilton at a 1:2.4 ratio through 5/30 at 11:59pm MT, so you’ll get 2,400 Hilton points for every 1,000 AMEX points.
Hilton often sells points with a 100% bonus, making them cost just 0.5 cents per point. If you value them at that rate, it would impute a value of 1.2 cents per AMEX point, which isn’t exceptional, but can be a decent value for hotel stays.
That will only make sense to buy if you have a specific redemption in mind or if you need more points to have enough to redeem for a 5 night stay, but I wouldn’t transfer points speculatively due to the risk of devaluation, room availability, and hotels being able to leave the Hilton brand.
If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status, you get the 5th night free on all award redemptions. Hilton Gold status is free if you have The Platinum Card® from American Express or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express.
Remember that you need to search for various number of nights to find award space at different hotels. Some hotels might have a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 night minimum stay for base rooms to find standard award space. To use the flex calendar, just search for various numbers of nights, click flexible dates, and use points:
For example, the Grand Wailea Maui is 110K points/night, compared to paid rates of $1,000-$2,000 per night after taxes. That’s like redeeming 45.8K AMEX points from this deal. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need just 88K Hilton points or 36.7K AMEX points/night.
The Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is 120K points/night, compared to paid rates of $1,000-$1,500 per night after taxes. That’s like redeeming 50K AMEX points from this deal. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need just 96K Hilton points or 40K AMEX points/night.
The hotel has a Rolls Royce house car that can take you to the excellent nearby kosher restaurants.
The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is 220K points per night. It’s Trip Advisor’s top ranked hotel in Cabo and is Travel + Leisure’s World’s top resort in Mexico. That’s like redeeming 91.7K AMEX points from this deal. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 176K Hilton points or 73.3K AMEX points/night.
Even the base rooms come with a private plunge pool. That’s an incredible value compared to the paid rates of $1,500-$3,000 after taxes:
Chabad of Cabo has tourist information on their website. They’re located just half a mile from the Waldorf! Discuss more about Cabo on DDF here.
The Conrad Bora Bora Nui charges 200K points per night. That’s like redeeming 83.3K AMEX points from this deal. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 160K Hilton points or 66.7K AMEX points/night. That’s an incredible value compared to the paid rates of $3,000-$4,000 after taxes.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem charges 100K Hilton points per night when they have standard room availability.
That’s like redeeming 41.7K AMEX points from this deal. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need just 80K Hilton points or 33.3K AMEX points/night.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is one of the finest hotels in Israel.
Breakfast is free on points stays if you have Gold or Diamond status, which you can get just by having a Hilton credit card.
With a breakfast like this, you may not even be hungry for dinner…
