Hilton Honors transfer partners.
Every credit card transfer partner that connects to Hilton Honors. Ratios, active bonuses, and effective value per source point.
Hilton points are low-value (~0.45¢). Almost every transfer is a money-loser unless you're chasing a specific top-tier aspirational redemption with the 5th-night-free benefit. The smarter path: hold Aspire/Surpass for category-priced perks (FNC, Diamond status), not for transfer arbitrage.

Before you transfer
- checkSearch availability first. Transfers are usually one-way; if the award you wanted isn't there, you've turned a flexible currency into a stuck balance.
- checkCheck the cash equivalent. If the redemption is less than 1.5¢/pt of value, paying cash and earning is usually better.
- checkWait for a transfer bonus when you can. A 30%+ bonus can move a borderline redemption into clear-win territory; we track active bonuses here.
- checkRun the math through Redemption Agent for trip-specific routing across all your owned currencies.
Frequently asked questions
Which credit card points transfer to Hilton Honors?
Amex Membership Rewards transfers to Hilton Honors at 1:2 (you get 2 Hilton points per 1 Amex point). Citi ThankYou and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club also transfer in, both at non-1:1 ratios. Chase Ultimate Rewards does not transfer to Hilton. Most travelers should just earn Hilton points directly through a Hilton cobrand card; transferring in usually loses value.
Is it worth transferring Amex points to Hilton?
Almost never. Amex Membership Rewards points are worth roughly 1.8 to 2.0 cents each in flexible value, while Hilton points redeem for around 0.4 to 0.5 cents per point. A 1:2 transfer brings the effective value to about 0.8 to 1.0 cents per Amex point used, which is well below the value you can get transferring those same points to an airline partner like Air France-KLM or ANA.
Can I transfer Hilton points to airline programs?
Yes, Hilton lets you transfer Hilton points to about 40 airline programs, but the ratios are brutal: typically 10,000 Hilton points to 1,500 airline miles (a 6.7:1 ratio). At that rate, your Hilton points are worth far less than even the airline programs' own redemption value. Skip these transfers and burn Hilton points on Hilton stays.
What's the best way to use Hilton Honors points?
Use the fifth-night-free benefit on award stays. Book any four consecutive award nights and the fifth night is free, which effectively gives you a 20% discount on long stays. Premium properties like the Conrad Maldives or Waldorf Astoria Maldives are where Hilton's high-issuance model pays off, even though the per-point value stays low.
