Our 2 cents..
If you have not enrolled in this program, you should! You don’t want to pass up free points when you stay at one of their hotels. Although there are many ways to earn and redeem points, the only worthwhile uses are: accruing points from hotel stays and using them for free hotel stays. AmEx is the only Hilton Honors credit card transfer partner. I would not recommend transferring points from AmEx MR to Hilton as this would be a very poor use of AmEx membership rewards. The only time the transfer would make sense is when you need to top up the account to obtain a specific Hilton reward. You can also pool points with others, so check on that first so you can save your AmEx points for something more valuable. I also would not recommend getting any of the Hilton co-branded cards unless you often stay at Hilton hotels and are planning to use them to pay for your Hilton hotel stays. Many cite Hilton status as one of the reasons to get the Hilton card, but if you hold American Express Platinum card you are automatically eligible for Gold Status at both Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy (enrollment required). I think your credit card spending would be more rewarding with one of the supercards.
Choose where you are going from and to by selecting the respective zones. There are two ways to choose your origin and destination - you can either select the zones they fall into on the map or by clicking on the bars above the map and entering the city name or airport code into the search fields.
- Choose one of the three point combination options which is applicable to you. If you don't have any miles in any airline accounts you can leave those fields blank.
- Input all of the different points you have on the credit cards you are planning to use. You can enter as many as you like. If you have multiple cards on one name from the same bank you can combine and enter the total amount of points between all of your cards.
- Enter all the miles you have in airlines frequent flyer programs on the left hand side following the airlines name.
- Once you input the information, click on the analyze button at the bottom of the page.
- The analyzer will offer you the optimal transfer combinations to explore as well as pros and cons of each.
- Review analyzer recommendations. Total number of miles is not the only consideration you should take into account. Analyzer will give you additional information about each program to make the right decision. You can also download results to a pdf and even send them to others if you like.
- Proceed to check availability with respective airlines. Do not transfer any miles until you confirm the desired option is available on the airline’s website. Note the transfer time and hold the reservation if possible before transferring any miles.
- Remember all transfers are final as you would not be able to send the points back to your credit card. If your trip is cancelled your miles will go back to the respective airline account.
- Transferring points to airline's frequent flyer programs is not the only way to obtain the award ticket. You can also redeem the points through your credit card directly by using the Book Travel option. You can find out more by checking out our Credit card reward tab on Wikimiles home page.
