Deal: Buy Hilton points at S$0.007 each

DEAL ENDED. Missed it? Follow Suitesmile on Telegram, Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates.

Hilton is offering 100% bonus on all points purchases till 11.59am on 6 March 2021. As usual, to find out if a points/miles sale is good, ignore the term “100% bonus”. You should only care about the actual price-per-point that is being offered.

This offer means that you can now buy Hilton points at S$0.0067 each. This is about 3% cheaper than my valuation of $0.007 and it is also the lowest rate that Hilton has ever offered.

The maximum number of points that you can purchase with this offer is 80,000 points, which will be doubled for a total of 160,000 points.

Should you buy?

The usual rule-of-thumb applies; I do not recommend buying miles/points if you do not intend to use them in the foreseeable future. As you can already see, world travel has been put to an abrupt standstill. The good thing, however, is that Hilton Honors adopts activity-based expiry on their points so you’ll know that you will not be sitting on a ticking time bomb like some other loyalty/frequent flyer programs.

Buying Hilton points can put luxury hotels like Conrad Koh Samui on “sale”. This property requires only 95,000 points per night. That will cost you $665 worth of points during this sale. 1 night at this property can cost as much as S$1,500 if you are paying the full price. It can also make cheaper hotels in the Hilton family incredibly cheap. With this points sale, you can stay in Hilton Garden Inn Bali for only $35 and Hilton Petaling Jaya for only $70! And this is before taking into account Hilton’s 5th Night Free on award stays.
