    Before I get into exactly how to Redeem Hilton Honors Points for MAXIMUM VALUE, I'll first discuss how to earn Hilton Honors Points in the first place. To do so, I'll take a look at the welcome bonuses of all 4 Hilton Credit Cards (Hilton Honors, Hilton Surpass, Hilton Aspire & Hilton Honors Business).
    Next, I'll take a look at some low redemption options that you should try to AVOID, when you are redeeming your Hilton Honors Points. For example, some of these low redemption options include redeeming Hilton Points for Lyft Rides, on Ticket Master, for Amazon Purchases & for Car Rentals.
    Then, I'll get into the TOP WAYS to redeem your Hilton Honors Points for MAXIMUM VALUE, which will easily allow you to get 100% More Value for your Hilton Honors Points. As an example, one way to Redeem your Hilton Honors Points for MAX VALUE is to stay at a Hilton property for at least 5 consecutive nights. The reason for this is because if you book a stay at a Hilton Property for 5 Nights or More with Points, you'll get the 5th Night Free. This effectively means that you'll get a 20% discount in terms of the points necessary for that specific booking.
    To illustrate the BEST WAYS to Redeem Hilton Honors Points for MAX VALUE, I'll use a real-life example, and get 1.3 Cents/Point for the booking, which is over double the average Hilton Point Value of 0.6 Cents/Point.

      I redeemed 240,000 HHonors points for a 3 night stay at the Canopy by Hilton Washington DC The Wharf. That was worth 0.67 cents per point. A little bit better than average redemption.

    Dang who knew Hilton points could be so valuable?! This just goes to show that if you pledge your loyalty to particular hotel chains, you could really get a lot more value from those points than you may initially think due to all the extra benefits that come on these cards. Great work on this one Matt!

  • @reggiethecommenter9137
    @reggiethecommenter9137 Před 4 měsíci

    To be clear, you only need to "pay" for 4 nights with points to get the 5th free. In other words, a 5 night stay will cost you the points for 4 nights.
    75k per night for 4 nights becomes 60k points per night for 5 nights. This improves the points value.

  • @CesarJoel
    @CesarJoel Před rokem

    I've redeemed 800k+ Hilton points this year and gotten at least .7 of a ¢ and up to .9 of a ¢ per point by redeeming points at Conrad and Double Tree stays without taking in consideration the 5th night free and $0 tax when booking with points. I value Hilton points at least .7 of a cent. The good thing about Hilton points it that you can earn lots of them with the great multipliers on Hilton cards and the status points boost. Great video, thanks for the info 👍

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  Před rokem

      Absolutely! Those bonuses and multipliers are solid, making it easy to earn a lot of Hilton Points quickly. Yeah when you take into account the 5th night free, I bet a lot of your higher end Hilton redemptions were in reality over 1 cent per point. Thanks for watching Cesar!

    How long does it take to get the welcome Bonus after you meet the spending threshold? Could you book a flight for a $1000 and then use the points to book a hotel within a few days of watch other?

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  Před rokem +1

      Only takes a week or two usually! For your second question, it depends, you get your points credited to your account at end of statement cycle so if you were to book a flight for $1k around that time, then you’d have the points to put toward a hotel a few days after. Thanks for watching Edgar!

  • @OKZK_Bros
    @OKZK_Bros Před rokem

    Great info. Is there a way to book 5 nights and get the fifth night free and then also use your yearly certificate with this block of nights? Meaning really you would only be paying for three nights with points!

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  Před rokem +1

      That’s a great question! So unfortunately what I’ve experienced and also seen from others is that booking that Free Night Cert. Does have to be a separate booking by itself. So you could book the same hotel for instance but you wouldn’t be able to combine the certificate w the block of nights. 5 nights to get the 5th free + a free night cert as a separate booking is still a steal though! Thanks so much for watching!

    I got a question, I have a trip to Japan coming up and have amex points to transfer to hilton honors. It says, "72,000
    Points for first night*" Does that mean the other nights are cheaper OR is each night 72,000 points?

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  Před rokem

      Hey Carlos good question! That could mean that yea it’s just the first night at a rate of 72,000 points per night. This could be due to that night falling on a weekend, holiday, etc. where there is a higher rate. To confirm it, you could divide the total amount of points needed for your stay by the number of nights to get the average nightly rate. Thanks for watching, hope that helps!

    Best way to use Hilton points is to use them for stays in third world countries where you only need less than 20k points a night. I’ve done this throughtout South East Asia and have had multiple week stays at hotels for free.

      Very good breakdown Matt. I was curious about how many points are required to book a room at Hilton, but I never looked into it. I must admit, hearing a 1.3 cents per point value doesn’t sound as exciting as getting a 3c/point+ value, but I understand that the Hilton card is set up a bit differently especially when looking at how high the multipliers are on their cards (5x on groceries, dining, and gas on a no annual fee card that’s not a rotating calendar category?! I see how they make it up now).
