Daily Getaway For 4/16: Hilton Points For Sale; Stay In An Overwater Villa With Private Pool From $380/Night!

Never Miss Another Deal - Follow DansDeals on Facebook

With Daily Getaways you can purchase discounted travel packages, but you have to be really quick for the best deals.  At 1pm EDT every weekday from now through 5/8 there is a new offering. View the full list here. The best deals will sell out in seconds, so you need to be waiting on the page at 12:59pm and refreshing the page.

Don’t forget to use a card like Chase Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card® Card or Sapphire Reserve to earn double or triple points as these deals post as a travel related charge! These deals will also qualify for the $300 annual Sapphire Reserve travel credit! Click Here to get more details on this card and compare to other cards! 

There are 3 Hilton packages that will be available to purchase at 1pm:

• 30,000 points for $150
• 100,000 points for $500
• 250,000 points for $1,250

You can buy up to 3 of the 30K packages and 1 of each larger package per Hilton account and credit card.  All packages effectively price points at 0.5 cents each.

Friends and Family can also pool Hilton points together.

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 cost more than $1,500/night 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!

5 nights in the Maldives is pretty much the definition of Heaven on Earth. Read more about the Conrad Maldives here.

The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem has gotten stingier with the King Superior room space required for a standard points booking. When there is space the rates vary between 72K-95K points per night. That’s $360-$475 per night with this deal. Given that the hotel’s rates aren’t always that high, you’ll need to see what rates and availability look like for your dates. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 57.6K-76K points/night or $288-$380/night.

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:

• The AMEX Hilton Honors Ascend card offers free Hilton Gold status, up to 100K welcome points, a free annual night for spending $15K/year, and Diamond status for spending $40K/year.
• The AMEX Hilton Honors Business card offers free Hilton Gold status, up to 100K welcome points, a free annual night for spending $15K/year and another annual night for spending another $45K/year.

With a breakfast like this, you may not even be hungry for dinner…
