Buying hotel points might sound like an unnecessary extra step. After all, if a room is available, why not just pay for it?
Sometimes there’s a good reason. Buying the points needed to book a room can cost less than paying the hotel directly.
Hilton Honors sells points throughout the year and frequently runs promotions that lower their cost. There’s little reason to buy just because a sale is happening. But with a Hilton stay already in mind, it takes only a few seconds to see whether buying points could save money.
Current Hilton Buy Points Offer
Hilton is currently offering up to a 100% bonus when buying points, dropping the purchase price as low as 0.5 cents each.
Current promotion: Up to 100% bonus
Lowest price per point: 0.5 cents
Offer ends: September 25, 2026
Offer purchase limit: 300,000 points before the bonus
Annual purchase limit: 300,000 points before any bonus
Hilton runs points sales fairly regularly, so there’s rarely a reason to buy solely because a promotion is ending. The history below shows how the current offer compares with previous ones. Click the arrow to see past offers.
First, find how many Hilton points a hotel requires. Then figure out how much it would cost to buy those points under the current promotion and compare that with the cash price for the same stay.
The math is simple:
Points needed × current price per point = cost to buy the points
Say Hilton is selling points for 0.5 cents each and a hotel costs 60,000 points per night. Buying 60,000 points would cost $300.
If the same room costs $425 in cash, buying the points could save $125. If the room costs $250, paying cash is the easy choice.
That’s really all there is to it.
CERI BREEZE / ISTOCK
There are a few things that can change the math even more. For example, Hilton elite members get a fifth night free on eligible five-night award stays. This can drop the all-in cost of a stay even more.
There’s little reason to stock up on Hilton points without a stay in mind. As the promotion history above shows, Hilton sells points regularly, and another offer will eventually come along.
Instead, start with the hotel. Check the cash price, check the points price, and calculate what those points would cost to buy. Sometimes cash wins. Sometimes points do.
And when buying the points is cheaper, it’s a pretty easy way to save money on the exact same room.
There’s a brand-new welcome offer on the venture_full: Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card.
The offer combines the card’s familiar 75,000-mile bonus with a new $300 credit for hotel and vacation rental bookings through Capital One Travel.
The venture_short: Capital One Venture Card earns at least 2X miles per dollar on purchases and has a $95 annual fee.
Here’s what to know about the new offer.
Capital One Venture Card Offer Overview
New venture_short: Capital One Venture Card holders can take advantage of the following offer:
{{ credit-card-widget uri=”venture” }}
The 75,000-mile bonus isn’t new. That’s the same number of miles the Venture card offered previously.
The addition is the $300 Capital One Travel Stays credit. It can be used toward hotels and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel during the first cardholder year.
The entire $300 can be used on one booking or split across multiple eligible bookings. If a booking is canceled before the credit expires, Capital One says the credit will be restored as long as it hasn’t expired.
Purchases covered by the credit don’t earn miles.
And importantly, this is a one-time welcome-offer benefit. It’s not a recurring $300 annual credit on the venture_short: Capital One Venture Card.
What Else Comes With the Venture Card?
The venture_short: Capital One Venture Card is fairly straightforward when it comes to earning miles.
Cardholders get unlimited 2X miles per dollar on every purchase, every day. The card also earns unlimited 5X miles on hotels, vacation rentals, and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.
It has a $95 annual fee and charges no foreign transaction fees. It also includes up to a $120 credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck.
GORCIA POTURAK / ISTOCK
Capital One miles don’t expire for the life of the account. There are also several ways to use them.
One option is redeeming miles toward eligible travel purchases. Capital One miles are worth 1 cent each this way, making 75,000 miles worth $750 toward eligible travel expenses.
Miles can also be used to book travel through Capital One Travel.
Another option is transferring miles to an airline or hotel loyalty program. Most Capital One partners transfer at a 1:1 ratio, including programs such as Air Canada Aeroplan, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and British Airways Club.
Other redemption options include gift cards and cash back. The value of a Capital One mile varies depending on how it’s redeemed.
Who Is Eligible for the Welcome Offer?
There is an important application rule to know about this offer.
“You are not eligible for this product if you have received a new cardmember bonus for the Capital One Venture card or the Capital One Venture X card in the past 48 months.”
That means someone who received a venture_x_full: Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card welcome bonus during the past four years wouldn’t be eligible for the venture_short: Capital One Venture Card bonus, either.
Seventy-five thousand Capital One miles can cover $750 in eligible travel purchases. Transferring the miles to an airline or hotel program can open up some different possibilities.
For example, 75,000 miles could be enough for two round-trip economy tickets to Europe, four round-trip tickets on some shorter domestic routes, or even a one-way business-class ticket across the Atlantic.
Those aren’t just theoretical examples. Points Insider found several trips bookable for 75,000 miles, including options for couples, families, and a lie-flat trip to Europe.
The $300 Capital One Travel Stays credit is separate from the 75,000 miles. It could cover part or all of an eligible hotel or vacation rental while the miles are used for something else.
Chase has a handful of offers available on its business credit cards right now.
Depending on the card, new cardholders can earn as many as 200,000 Ultimate Rewards points or $750 cash back after meeting a spending requirement.
There are several offers to sort through, but the good news is that the distinction between points and cash back isn’t quite as important as it might seem. And qualifying for a business card can be more straightforward than the name suggests.
Here’s what’s available now.
Elevated Chase Business Card Welcome Offers Are Available
Several Chase business cards are currently offering elevated welcome bonuses.
The offers, spending requirements, annual fees, and other benefits vary by card. Click “Learn More” on any card for a closer look.
Ultimate Rewards cards
The Chase business credit cards below earn Ultimate Rewards points. Those points can be transferred to Chase’s airline and hotel partners, redeemed for travel through Chase Travel, and used in several other ways.
Each card varies in its earning rates, benefits, annual fee, and current welcome offer.
Chase also offers a couple of business cards that are marketed as cash-back cards. Both have no annual fee and identical bonuses, but they differ in how they earn rewards.
Anyone interested in traveling with points and miles might be inclined to ignore a cash-back card. But there’s a useful trick for anyone who also has a Chase card that earns Ultimate Rewards points.
That cash back doesn’t necessarily have to stay cash back.
Points or Cash Back? They Can Be Combined
Chase markets some cards as earning cash back. But behind the scenes, those rewards can function a lot like Ultimate Rewards points.
Every $1 in cash back is equivalent to 100 points. Rewards from an eligible cash-back card can then be combined with an Ultimate Rewards account from a points-earning Chase card.
For example, someone with a Chase Sapphire Preferred Card who earns $750 cash back from a cash-back Ink Business card could combine those rewards and end up with 75,000 additional Ultimate Rewards points. The same idea works with an eligible business card that earns points, such as the Ink Business Preferred.
That matters because Ultimate Rewards points are incredibly versatile. They can be transferred to Chase’s airline and hotel partners, redeemed for travel through Chase, used for statement credits, and more.
A business credit card does require a business. But that doesn’t necessarily mean a company with employees, an office, or a huge amount of revenue.
Traditional businesses can qualify, but so can many sole proprietors, freelancers, independent contractors, and people earning money from a side business.
MINISERIES / ISTOCK
There are also some important restrictions to know about these welcome offers.
For the Ink Business Preferred and Sapphire Reserve for Business, Chase says the new-cardmember bonus may not be available to anyone who has ever had that particular card. Chase also says it may consider factors related to the business when determining bonus eligibility.
The language is broader for the no-annual-fee Ink Business Cash and Ink Business Unlimited. Chase says the bonus may not be available to anyone who has ever had that card or any other Chase for Business card without an annual fee.
That means previous Chase business cards can matter even when applying for a different card, particularly with the no-annual-fee Ink cards.
For the full eligibility requirements, spending requirements, offer terms, and explainers on each card’s benefits, click “Learn More” on the individual card above.
Airlines and hotels regularly sell points and miles with bonuses or discounts. And some promotions can bring the cost down significantly.
Sometimes, buying points or miles for the trip you want to take can even cost less than paying the going cash price.
Whether you’re topping off an account for an award you’ve already found, planning ahead for a trip, or simply waiting for a better offer, it helps to know what’s available now and how it compares with what we’ve seen before.
PointsYeah automatically tracks current offers for buying airline miles and hotel points below, along with each program’s recent promotion history.
Current Buy Points and Miles Offers
Here are the current promotions for buying airline miles and hotel points. The tables below automatically update as new offers begin and existing ones expire.
Note that some promotions are targeted, so you may see a different bonus or discount after logging into your loyalty account. Always confirm the offer and final purchase price before buying.
Active airline buy miles offers
{{ buy-points-table type=”airline” }}
Active hotel buy points offers
{{ buy-points-table type=”hotel” }}
Before You Buy Points or Miles
There’s more to a good buy points or miles promotion than the headline bonus or discount.
Each loyalty program sets its own price, so a 100% bonus from one program isn’t necessarily a better deal than a 50% bonus from another. The final purchase price matters more, and the historical tables below can help you see whether the current offer is especially good or something that comes around regularly.
It also helps to know how you plan to use the points or miles before buying them. If you’re a few thousand miles short of an award, buying the difference can be an easy way to get what you need. In other cases, buying enough points for an entire flight or hotel stay can cost less than paying cash.
If you’re buying airline miles for a particular trip, search for the award first. Availability can change quickly, and you don’t want to buy miles only to discover that the flight you wanted is no longer bookable.
PointsYeah searches live award availability across dozens of rewards programs, so you can see what’s available before making a purchase.
{{ search-widget mode=”flight-hotel” }}
Keep in mind that points and miles purchases are generally nonrefundable. Programs may also limit how many points or miles you can purchase, so check the terms of the specific offer before buying.
A promotion can sound impressive without being particularly unusual. Looking at previous offers gives you a better idea of how today’s bonus or discount stacks up.
Open the dropdown for any airline or hotel program below to see its recent buy points or miles offer history.
Every so often, airlines and hotels put their points and miles on sale.
If you’ve ever come across one of those promotions, you may have wondered why anyone would spend money buying points instead of simply paying for the trip.
The answer depends on what you’re trying to book.
Most of the time, buying points isn’t necessary. But every now and then, purchasing points or miles can lower the cost of your trip or unlock a flight or hotel that would otherwise cost much more.
Here’s when buying points and miles can make sense, and when it’s probably better to keep your wallet in your pocket.
How Buying Points and Miles Works
Most airline and hotel loyalty programs let members purchase points or miles directly through their websites, though the transaction is often processed by a third party such as Points.com.
Instead of earning points by flying, staying at a hotel, or spending on a travel credit card, you’re just buying the points or miles you need.
Sometimes you’ll pay the standard price. Other times, loyalty programs run limited-time promotions that offer bonus points or discounts, making those purchases much more attractive.
Buying points doesn’t automatically save you money, though. Whether it’s a good deal depends entirely on how you plan to use them.
That’s why the first question shouldn’t be, “Are points on sale?”
It should be, “What am I trying to book?”
MSTUDIOIMAGES / ISTOCK
Search First. Buy Second.
Before purchasing points, make sure the flight or hotel you want is available.
Award availability can change quickly, and buying points before confirming you can use them could leave you with a balance you weren’t planning to keep.
A better approach looks like this:
Find the flight or hotel you want.
Compare the cash price with the points price.
Calculate what it would cost to buy any points you’re missing.
If buying points costs less than paying cash, it may be worth it.
In other words, buy points for a trip you’re ready to book, not simply because they’re on sale.
PointsYeah makes this process easier by showing live award availability across supported airline and hotel loyalty programs, allowing you to compare your options before deciding whether buying points is worth it.
Buying points isn’t something you’ll do for every trip, but there are a few situations where it can be worth considering.
You’ve already found the award you want
This is one of the best reasons to buy points.
Imagine a hotel stay costs $400 if you pay cash.
The same stay is available for 15,000 points, and buying those points during a promotion costs $300.
In that case, purchasing the points saves you money while booking the same stay.
How cool is that?
You’re only a few points short
Sometimes you’re on the cusp of a redemption.
If you already have most of the points needed for a flight or hotel stay, buying the remaining amount can be less expensive than paying cash for the entire reservation.
There’s a promotion worth taking advantage of
Airline and hotel loyalty programs regularly offer bonus points or discounts when purchasing points.
A promotion by itself isn’t a reason to buy points, but it can improve the math if you’ve already found the redemption you want.
When You Probably Shouldn’t Buy Points
Buying points isn’t always a good deal. In fact, there are plenty of situations where paying cash or using another redemption option is the better choice.
You may want to skip buying points if:
You don’t have a specific trip in mind.
You haven’t confirmed award availability.
You’re buying simply because there’s a sale.
The cash price is already competitive.
You’d need to buy far more points than you actually plan to use.
If you’re not ready to book, it’s usually better to keep your money in your pocket. Once you’ve found the trip you’re ready to book, you can compare the cost of buying points with your other booking options and decide which makes the most sense.
FG TRADE LATIN / ISTOCK
Check Current Promotions
Airline and hotel loyalty programs regularly offer bonus points or discounts when you buy points. Purchasing during one of these promotions will usually get you a better rate than buying at the standard price.
Once you’ve decided buying points makes sense for your trip, the next question is whether there’s a promotion available.
Thinking about transferring your credit card points?
Every so often, banks run promotions that give you more airline miles or hotel points when you transfer from an eligible credit card rewards program. Instead of receiving the usual number of miles or points, you might receive 20%, 50%, or even more than that.
Below you’ll find every current transfer bonus from the major transferable credit card rewards programs, along with each offer’s expiration date.
Current Transfer Bonuses
Transfer bonuses come and go throughout the year. The table below is automatically updated as new offers begin and existing ones expire.
{{ transfer-bonus-table }}
Before You Transfer Your Points
It can be tempting to see a 30% credit card transfer bonus and think there’s no better time to transfer points.
Maybe. But pause for a second.
Find the flight or hotel you want first. Use PointsYeah to compare your booking options across several loyalty programs. Then, if a transfer bonus helps lower the number of credit card points you’ll need, it’s time to make the transfer.
Once your points become airline miles or hotel points, you can’t move them back.
And transferring without a plan can potentially leave you with a balance that’s much harder to use than the credit card points you started with.
Historical Transfer Bonuses
Transfer bonuses rarely follow a set schedule. Some loyalty programs run promotions several times a year, while others may go months without offering another one.
Expand a credit card rewards program below to browse its previous transfer bonuses. You’ll be able to see which loyalty programs have received bonuses in the past, how large those bonuses were, and when they were offered.
If you’ve ever searched online for ways to use your credit card points, you’ve probably come across advice like, “Transfer your points to an airline partner instead.”
That sounds straightforward enough.
But if you’ve never done it before, it’s also a fair question to ask: What’s an airline partner, and why would I transfer my points there instead of just using them through my credit card?
The answer is pretty simple.
What Is a Credit Card Transfer Partner?
A transfer partner is an airline or hotel loyalty program that accepts transfers from an eligible credit card rewards program.
Think of your credit card points as one currency and airline miles as another. A transfer partner is what allows you to exchange one for the other.
For example, if you have Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you can transfer them to programs like United MileagePlus or Air Canada Aeroplan.
Once the transfer is complete, your Chase points become airline miles in that program. And they’re yours to use when you’re ready to book a flight.
The same idea applies to hotels. Lots of credit card rewards programs also let you transfer points to participating hotel loyalty programs.
LORDHENRIVOTON / ISTOCK
Why Do Credit Card Transfer Partners Matter?
Transfer partners matter because they give you choices in how you redeem your rewards. And who doesn’t like choices?
Imagine you’re planning a trip to London.
You might assume you need to redeem your credit card points through your bank’s travel portal. But if your points can be transferred instead, you may have several different airline loyalty programs that can book the same trip.
In some cases, transferring your points may require fewer points than booking through your bank’s travel portal. If a credit card transfer bonus is available, that number could be even lower.
Having transfer partners gives you more ways to use your points instead of relying on other redemption options, such as booking through your bank’s travel portal, covering purchases on your credit card statement, or redeeming points for gift cards.
Not Every Credit Card Has the Same Transfer Partners
Each credit card rewards program has its own list of airline and hotel transfer partners.
For example, Chase Ultimate Rewards includes United MileagePlus as a transfer partner, while American Express Membership Rewards partners with Delta SkyMiles.
Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou Rewards, Bilt Rewards, U.S. Bank Altitude Rewards, and Wells Fargo Rewards all have their own mix of airline and hotel partners.
One of the most important things to remember is that transferring points is a one-way transaction.
Once your credit card points become airline miles or hotel points, you can’t transfer them back. That’s why it’s always a good idea to search for the award you want before transferring your points.
Once you’ve found the flight or hotel you want, you can identify the appropriate transfer partner, check for any available transfer bonuses, and transfer only the points you need to complete your booking.
If you’ve ever seen an offer like “Transfer your points and get 25% more Flying Blue miles,” you might have wondered what that actually means in the simplest of terms.
That’s a credit card transfer bonus.
Instead of receiving the normal number of airline miles or hotel points when you transfer rewards, a transfer bonus gives you a little something extra for making the same transfer.
Here’s how transfer bonuses work, when they can be useful, and how to keep track of current offers.
What Is a Credit Card Transfer Bonus?
A credit card transfer bonus is a limited-time promotion that increases the number of airline miles or hotel points you receive when transferring rewards from an eligible credit card program.
For example, imagine you transfer 10,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Air France-KLM Flying Blue.
Under normal circumstances, 10,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points become 10,000 Flying Blue miles.
During a 25% transfer bonus, those same 10,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points become 12,500 Flying Blue miles.
SJO / ISTOCK
You’re transferring the same number of credit card points. The transfer bonus simply gives you more airline miles or hotel points once the transfer is complete.
Those extra miles or points may not sound like much at first, but they can reduce the number of credit card points needed for a trip. And those savings can add up over time.
Which Credit Card Programs Offer Transfer Bonuses?
Transfer bonuses are most commonly offered by flexible rewards programs (credit card rewards that can be transferred to multiple airline and hotel loyalty programs).
These often include:
American Express Membership Rewards
Bilt Rewards (typically on the first of the month as part of Rent Day promotions)
Capital One Miles
Chase Ultimate Rewards
Citi ThankYou Rewards
Each program runs promotions throughout the year, and the participating airline or hotel partners can vary from one offer to the next.
MILORAD KRAVIC / ISTOCK
How to Find Current Transfer Bonuses
Transfer bonuses come and go throughout the year, and each bank runs promotions on its own schedule.
Understandably, keeping track of them across multiple rewards programs can quickly become a chore.
PointsYeah keeps an up-to-date list of current credit card transfer bonuses. This makes it easy to see which bank programs and airline or hotel partners are currently offering promotions.
Even better, when you’re searching for award flights with PointsYeah, eligible transfer bonuses are automatically factored into your search results. That means you can compare your options without having to calculate the bonus yourself.
POINTSYEAH
Should You Transfer Points During a Bonus?
Not necessarily.
A transfer bonus can make an award booking more attractive, but it doesn’t automatically mean you should transfer your points.
Before you do anything with your credit card points, it’s worth considering a few things:
Is the award flight or hotel actually available?
Does transferring points cost less than paying cash?
Are you ready to book?
These questions matter because point transfers can’t be reversed. Once your credit card points become airline miles or hotel points, you can’t transfer them back.
Put differently, a transfer bonus is best viewed as an opportunity and not a reason to book a trip. If you’ve already found the award you want, a bonus can help your points go a little further. If you haven’t, it’s usually better to keep your points where they are until you’re ready to book.
One of the biggest advantages of earning rewards through a travel credit card is the flexibility you have when it’s time to book travel.
Unlike airline miles, many credit card points can be transferred to multiple airline loyalty programs. Instead of being locked into a single airline, you can choose the program that best suits your trip.
If you’ve never transferred credit card points before, the process is easier than you might think. And once you understand which airline partners your bank works with, transferring your points usually takes only a few minutes.
Here’s how to convert your credit card points into airline miles.
Credit card point transfers are one-way. Once your points become airline miles, you can’t transfer them back to your credit card rewards program.
That’s why it’s usually best to:
Search for your award flight first.
Confirm that seats are available.
Compare the cash price with the points required.
Transfer only the number of points you need to complete your booking.
PointsYeah makes this process much easier by showing live award availability across supported airline programs.
Search results also identify which transferable credit card currencies can be used for a particular redemption and highlight any applicable transfer bonuses.

American Express Membership Rewards
American Express airline transfer partners
American Express Membership Rewards points are transferable to the following airline loyalty programs.
Most Amex transfers process instantly, though transfer times can vary by the airline.
One important exception involves transfers to U.S.-based airline programs such as Delta SkyMiles and JetBlue TrueBlue. American Express charges an excise tax offset fee of 0.06 cents per point transferred (up to a maximum of $99) for these transfers.
While you can use Membership Rewards points to cover the fee at checkout, you’re generally better off paying it with your American Express card and saving your points for travel.
How to transfer American Express Membership Rewards
Sign in to your American Express account.
Open Rewards & Benefits, then select Transfer Points.
Choose your airline loyalty program and link your account if necessary.

Things to Know Before You Transfer
Transfers are usually final
In most cases, transfers from a credit card rewards program to an airline loyalty account can’t be reversed.
Before transferring your points, make sure you’ve found the award flight you want, and you’re ready to complete the booking.
POIKE / ISTOCK
Transfer times can vary
Most transfers happen within minutes, but not every airline processes transfers at the same speed.
Occasionally, transfers may take several hours or even a few days. And your first transfer to a particular airline loyalty program may also take longer than subsequent transfers, especially if your loyalty account hasn’t been linked before.
While delays are relatively uncommon, they’re worth keeping in mind if you’re booking an award with limited availability.
Transfer bonuses can stretch your points further
Banks periodically offer transfer bonuses that increase the number of airline miles you receive from the same number of credit card points.
For example, a 25% transfer bonus means 10,000 transferable credit card points become 12,500 airline miles instead of the usual 10,000.
Before transferring your points, check our Current Credit Card Transfer Bonuses guide to see whether an active promotion could help you receive more airline miles.
