Hilton has returned with yet another buy points offer! This time instead
of being their usual 100% bonus they have opted for a 50% discount. This
is basically the same deal price wise but unless you need to buy points
right now for a planned award redemption I would wait to buy. You may
ask why wait if the price is the same as when it is a 100% bonus? The
reason why is your annual purchase limit. Hilton caps the amount of
points you can buy at 80,000 per year but that doesn’t include any bonus
points on purchases. Since this is a discount offer if you buy the
maximum of 80,000 points you get 80,000 points but pay for 40,000. When
they run a 100% bonus you buy 80,000 points and get 160,000. Or buy
40,000 to get the same 80,000 and still have the ability to buy 40,000
more later on – so ultimately you can earn more points when it is a
bonus versus a discount.
Now granted, this offer is running until December 7 so there is a
good possibility this may be the last buy points offer from Hilton for
this calendar year and those limits won’t matter as it will reset for
everyone on January 1st but given that Hilton almost always has a buy
points bonus running I wouldn’t be surprised if we see them have a
Boxing Day sale or something like that right before the end of the year.
At least there is some time for you to decide though since this offer
is running for a longer duration.
With this 50% discount you are paying US$ 0.5 cents per point which
is a decent price. With the ability to easily redeem at values of 0.8
cents or more you can see where buying Hilton Honors points can make
sense.
