Amex has a 30% transfer bonus to Hilton running until 10/14. Here are 5 Hiltons where that transfer bonus unlocks insane value. Amex normally transfers to Hilton at 1:2. With this bonus, 1,000 Amex points becomes 2,600 Hilton points, and transfers post almost instantly. Then layer the 5th night free. Book 5 consecutive award nights and Hilton gives you the 5th free — all you need is Silver status or higher, free with any Hilton Amex or the Amex Platinum after enrolling in Gold. Every stay below is 5 nights, paying points for 4, priced at peak-season rates. 1. Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi ~$2,800/night × 5 = ~$14,000 cash value 1,000,000 Hilton points → ~385,000 Amex points 3.6¢ per Amex point. 2. Grand Wailea Maui, a Waldorf Astoria Resort ~$1,100/night × 5 = ~$5,500 cash value 440,000 Hilton points → ~169,000 Amex points 3.3¢ per Amex point. 3. Waldorf Astoria Osaka ~$850/night × 5 = ~$4,250 cash value 440,000 Hilton points → ~169,000 Amex points 2.5¢ per Amex point. 4. Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal ~$1,800/night × 5 = ~$9,000 cash value 1,000,000 Hilton points → ~385,000 Amex points 2.3¢ per Amex point. 5. Conrad Bora Bora Nui ~$1,300/night × 5 = ~$6,500 cash value 800,000 Hilton points → ~308,000 Amex points 2.1¢ per Amex point. Yes, those Hilton totals are huge. Hilton devalued its top properties three times in under a year, and the award cap now sits at 250,000 a night. That's the whole point of the bonus — 385,000 Amex instead of 500,000 for the same week in the Maldives. You need Standard Room Reward availability, since Premium Room Rewards cost far more points and blow up this math. Transfers are one-way, so only move points once you've found the nights. And the bonus ends 10/14. Need the Amex points for this? Comment "card" and I'll send you my favorite cards, or grab them at the link in my bio.
