Hilton Honors

Overview

The Hilton Honors program is most advantageous for business and luxury travelers who frequently fly to and stay in major cities in the United States, Europe and Asia. Hilton Honors members can redeem points at more than 5,000 hotels and resorts across 14 different brands in more than 100 countries and territories. Additionally, you can earn points for Lyft rides and everyday purchases made with the Hilton Honors credit cards from American Express. And because Hilton has a partnership with United MileagePlus (as well as more than 40 other airline and rail partners), you can cash in points for miles. Points can also be used to purchase tickets to concerts and sporting events, gift cards and items sold on Amazon.

Bonus points do not count toward your member status.
Honors members must pay in 1,000-point increments with a minimum of 5,000 points when paying with Points & Money Rewards.
You can exchange Honors points for miles or convert miles into Honors points at no extra cost with the brand's airline and rail partners, which include Hawaiian Airlines and Amtrak, among others.
