    About to making a booking but the points rate has gone up. I’m 10k points short – what’s the quickest way to get them? I can’t buy any more as I’ve hit the limit

    Do you have any Virgin points?

    I do, but they usually take quite a while to transfer over. I’ve just asked a friend to buy some points and transfer them to me. Hoping they arrive soon

    Depending on the activity of your accounts Hilton may not like that.

    Can’t you use points & money?

    Points and money always seems to give really bad value whenever I see it. You end up paying nearly the full cash price regardless.

    I can use points and money but I’m only 10k points short and the money is 700 EUR (presumably some sort of taxes or resort fees but it isn’t clear at the checkout)

    I think a friend/family member buying and sending them is the best bet to get them quick. Amex transfers are also an option if you have 5k spare MRs.
