Conclusion
I like sales that allow 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 (you need some flexibility and preplanning to find availability).
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 from Silver to Diamond 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.
