American Express Membership Rewards 40% Hilton Honors Transfer Bonus Until June 15, 2021

American Express Membership Rewards has brought back their promotion for U.S. based card members, offering a 40% bonus on Membership Rewards transfers to Hilton Honors.

This promotion is showing up on my U.S. based Charge Card account and has the expiration date listed for June 15, 2021.

The ratio of transferring Membership Rewards points to Hilton Honors with the bonus right now may make limited sense to think about a transfer if you’re looking to book a Hilton hotel on points.

You can find the transfer option in your online Amex card account under Membership Rewards – Hotel Transfers :

At the same time American Express is reminding people that points transfer are irrevocable as I previously wrote about here.

As I mentioned before one should be 100% certain that the points transferred out can be used for something good in the future, the sooner the better.

Keep in mind that aspirational properties such as the Conrad Rangali, Maldives or Koh Samui, Thailand have extremely high point requirements (95,000 points per night) with a cash rate hovering around US$400 per night plus tax (maybe less at the moment due to Covid-19) so you still need quite a few of Membership Rewards points per night in order to stay at one of these hotels.

At least Hilton is pricing their hotels dynamically these days so in case the rates have slumped due to Covid-19 you might be able to get a bargain.

If one is exclusively after Hilton Honors points then collecting them through one of the Hilton Amex cards might be much better. The same goes for those customers who are after Marriott points (also currently with a – rather horrible – transfer promotion).

American Express has previously offered transfer bonuses for Hilton with up to 50% extra.

Conclusion

Membership Rewards points are usually better utilized transferring them to an airline program to be used for flight redemptions or, in the worst case, cashed out through the Charles Schwab version of the Amex Platinum at US$ 1.25 cents per point.

As far as hotel stays are concerned you might sometimes (not all the time) be better off to use your Amex MR points to book directly through Amex Travel including the Fine Hotels & Resorts program.

These are the Terms & Conditions for this promotion:

The value of Membership Rewards points varies according to how you choose to use them.  To learn more, go to www.membershiprewards.com/pointsinfo
