As a rule of thumb, I always suggest steering away from purchasing points. However, there are some scenarios where if you are looking to book a hotel room in the near future, purchasing points can actually be cheaper than paying the lowest rate possible. In fact, right now there are four different hotels offering bonus…
A few years ago, Hilton fully fully got rid of their awards chart. There is no category 1, 2, 3, etc. tied to an individual property as you see with Marriott and Hyatt. Instead, they have a range for each hotel and you’ll spend more during certain times of the year and less during others.…
Through February 26, 2019, you can purchase Hilton Honors points with a 100% bonus. This is actually one of the better promotions as it only requires you to purchase a minimum of 10,000 points to receive the bonus and receiving this high of a bonus usually only happens a few times a year. With that being said,…
Yesterday I wrote a post describing my 2019 position on which hotel chain will earn my family the most number of points (thus free night stays) between Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott. While I am pretty much between Hilton and Hyatt, the benefits we’ll receive with Hyatt Globalist status will definitely suit our family best throughout the…
My husband Adam is the business traveler in the family and with a new year starting soon we are starting to re-think his business hotel strategy. Up until now he has been a legacy Starwood guy and that has helped our family earn a ton of points and receive some great perks at Starwood properties.…
Hilton just announced their first promotion in 2019 and it is actually a really good one. What I like about this promotion is that you’ll earn points on every single stay, (there is no cap, yay!) and it starts right after Hilton’s current promotion ends — there is only a one day gap between promotions…
Through December 18, 2018, you can purchase Hilton Honors points with up to a 100% bonus. It looks like your bonus offer will vary and from the reports I’ve seen you’ll receive either an 80% bonus or a 100% bonus — clearly a much better opportunity for those that received the 100% offer! For many expensive properties,…
A new Amex Offer just appeared this morning where if you spend $225 at a DoubleTree hotel by Hilton, you’ll receive a $45 statement credit. I am able to see this offer on every single one of my American Express credit cards, so hopefully it is widely available – just check your AmericanExpress.com to see…
Through September 20, 2018, you can purchase Hilton Honors points with a 100% bonus. The one caveat is that you must make a bulk purchase of either 40,000 points or 80,000 points (plus the 100% bonus). Usually with these promotions you can purchase in increments of 1,000 points, so this is definitely a unique promotion…
American Express just increased their welcome offers for all four of their Hilton co-branded credit cards making some of them the best offers ever! There are three personal cards and one business card and if you were to apply and be approved for all four that would earn you 475,000 bonus points (after meeting the…
Amex Offers is running an awesome promotion where if you purchase a $100 or more Hilton gift card, you’ll receive a $20 statement credit. This comes out to 20% off the gift card purchase! While this offer is still available on all of my American Express cards, double check your account to ensure it still…
Hilton just announced their last promotion of the year where you’ll earn double points at most Hilton properties and triple points at luxury and resort properties. This is pretty much on par with every single Hilton-wide promotion they’ve run this year, although they are adding on the 3x points for the luxury and resort hotels…
My passion (and obsession!) for travel deals and points started over nine years ago the day I graduated college and took a job in management consulting. I’d spend every Monday through Thursday hotel hoping and embarking on long plane rides just to earn the extra points and miles. Since I was traveling all the time I decided that I was really going to take advantage of the points and miles game... Learn more about Jen »
