Get A 100% Bonus When You Buy Hilton Points
From now through 5/11, you can get a 100% bonus when you buy Hilton points.
For example, 80K points are normally $800 and with this sale you’ll get 160K points for $800. That’s just 0.5 cents per point.
Need more than 160K points? Friends and Family can transfer Hilton points to each other for free, so you can buy points from multiple accounts and then transfer them!
Earn points with the Hilton Aspire Card, The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card, or the Hilton Surpass Card.
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 buy 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.
When will it make sense to buy points? An overwater villa with a private pool in the Conrad Maldives can cost $1,500-$3,500 after tax, but its bookable for just 95K points. That’s like paying $475/night with points from this deal. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need just 76K points/night or just $380/night if you buy points for 0.5 cents each.
5 nights in the Maldives is pretty much the definition of Heaven on Earth. Read more about the Conrad Maldives here.
The Maldives are currently open for Americans.

Most Hilton hotels are capped at a cost of 95K points per night for a standard room, but the new Waldorf Astoria Maldives costs 120K points/night. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 96K points/night or just $480/night if you buy points for 0.5 cents each.
Best of all, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives now allows for point redemptions on overwater villas with a pool!
That’s an incredible value compared to the paid rates:
The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is now bookable for 120K points per night as well. It’s Trip Advisor’s top ranked hotel in Cabo and is Travel + Leisure’s World’s top resort in Mexico this year.
Similar to the Waldorf Astoria Maldives, you’ll need a whopping 120K points per night, though with Hilton’s devalued currency that’s still a bargain.
With a 5 night stay you can pay 96K points per night with the 5th night free award that is available to Hilton cardholders and elites.
Even the base rooms come with a private plunge pool.
Sample paid rate versus the points rate:
That’s $6,735 after tax versus 480K for a 5 night stay, a value of 1.4 cents per Hilton point. That value will vary by date, but is very good for Hilton points. You can currently buy points on sale for just 0.5 cents each. 480K points would cost $2,400 or $480/night, a fraction of the paid rates at this hotel.
Chabad of Cabo has tourist information on their website and operates a kosher restaurant. They’re located just 1.2 miles from the Waldorf! Discuss more about Cabo on DDF here.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem charges a a max of 95K points per night when they have standard room availability.
They also have off-peak pricing from 79K points per night:
If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need just 63.2K points/night or $316/night with this deal.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is one of the finest hotels in Israel.

There is a mind-boggling quantity of awesome kosher food at the hotel’s daily breakfast, from dozens of daily hot dishes to hard cheeses, fresh fruits and pastries to fresh squeezed juices, as well as on-demand dishes like french toast, pancakes, waffles, and eggs. Unlimited wine, hot or cold chocolate drinks, and espresso drinks are included as well!
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…

Good luck finding award availability at WA Cabo and WA Maldives
Close-in is doable in Cabo. WA Maldives is trickier, but there’s always the Conrad.
how trickier? you book weekend certs and call up and ask the to apply them to the rea days you want?
Why is there a STR MLE pic in the post?
Because I have yet to stay in a Hilton Maldives 🙂
Haha
It’s probably the #1 destination for DDFers.. interesting that you haven’t been yet 🙂
I’ve done the W Maldives and the SR Maldives.
I think at this point I need to go to Bora Bora 🙂
How? I can’t even get approved for Hilton Amex business card
I don’t see any water villas at the Conrad at 95k. Which dates are you looking at?
Searching for WA Jerusalem, how come it’s not getting 5th night free?
Superior Room: Aug 16-20 = 372k, Aug 16-21 = 465k.
Don’t have Hilton card, but gold status.
Had same problem last week, but when I searched today for November and December dates it was giving the 5th night free.
