Get a 20% discount when you buy Hilton HHonors points

For the first time that I can remember, Hilton is offering a special offer on purchases of Hilton HHonors points.

Until September 3rd, you will receive a 20% discount when you buy Hilton HHonors points via this link.

With a few exceptions, it will not make sense to buy 100% of the points needed for a Hilton redemption such as the Hilton Venice above.  I tend to value them at 0.3p, although a ‘cash and points’ redemption can get you up to 0.5p.  Under this promotion you are paying 0.8 cents, so just a touch under 0.5p.

If you need to top off your account to reach the right level for a redemption then this is not a bad deal.

Before you buy, remember that you can also transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to Hilton (at 1:2) as well as Virgin Flying Club miles (1:1.5, details on this page).
