Hilton Honors Award Calendar With Maximum Points
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos PedegralExample:
The paid rates at this Waldorf Astoria hotel in Mexico are rather expensive when you factor in the taxes and service fees.
But five nights at this hotel cost exactly 480,000 points ($2,400) when you factor in the fifth night free for elite members,
Conclusion
I like this sale that allows you to buy a significant enough number of points you can redeem for five nights at most of the Hilton’s sought-after and expensive resorts.
Honors awards include all fees and taxes, including resorts and destination charges, often an additional 20-30% on top of the initial rate displayed. All elite members get the fifth night free when redeeming points.
The best use of Hilton Honors points is when and where the paid rates are through the roof, such as the Maldives or French Polynesia properties. I am currently holding on to six 5-night reservations for Maldives and French Polynesia that have tied up all my 3M HH points. I will likely buy some more during this sale.
