Hilton Honors Points
No Blackout Dates, Flexible Hotel Stays
Hilton Honors points are plentiful and easy to earn — Amex Hilton cards offer some of the highest point multipliers available — but they're worth less per point than Hyatt or Marriott. The fifth-night-free benefit and Points & Money rewards are the best use cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Hilton Honors point worth?
Approximately 0.5–0.6¢ per point. The fifth-night-free benefit on award stays of 5+ nights effectively gives you a 20% discount, boosting value to around 0.7¢. Never transfer Hilton points to airlines — you lose more than half the value.
What is Hilton's fifth-night-free benefit?
When you book 5 or more consecutive nights using points, the 5th night is free. Hilton Diamond and Gold members (earned via Amex card status) also get free breakfast and upgrades, which amplifies the overall value.
Do Hilton Honors points expire?
Points expire after 24 months of inactivity. Any earning or redemption activity — including credit card spend — resets the timer.
