What Hilton points are worth
According to NerdWallet’s March, 2021 study, 56% of Americans plan to take a vacation in 2021, and if you plan to stay at a Hilton, these offers could be quite valuable.
Hilton doesn’t publish an award chart, so the cost of an award night can vary significantly based on the date and location of the hotel. A standard room night can cost as few as 5,000 Hilton Honors points, or as much as 95,000 points per night. You can use the Hilton Points Explorer tool to find your price ranges.
NerdWallet values Hilton Honors points at 0.6 cent each.
That means the bonus on the Hilton Honors American Express Card could be worth up to $520, while the bonus on the The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card and Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card could be worth as much as $720.
