We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    I told you about the big changes coming to Hilton’s award program.  And now we know a little bit more!

    Via One Mile at a Time, you can officially book Hilton hotels with the Points and Money option starting March 1, 2017.  So you’ll have more choices when you redeem your points!

    I’ll show you what you can look forward to with this new addition!

    Hilton has made lots of big changes (both good and bad) to their loyalty program.  For example:

    And now we know that you’ll be able to book hotel nights with Points and Money as soon as March 1, 2017.

    I love that Hilton is giving us more flexibility with our points.  That way, if we don’t have enough Hilton points for a free night, we can at least use them for a discounted night by paying the difference with money!

    Hilton will give you a “slider” to choose how many points you want to redeem.  You’ll need to redeem at LEAST 5,000 points, but above that you can redeem in 1,000 point increments.  And the cash price of the room is directly tied to the amount of points you’ll need.

    The slider sounds similar to what you see when you buy travel through the Chase travel portal.  But I don’t see how they can do this without giving Hilton points a fixed value.  We shall see!

    Points and Money Prices at IHG Hotels Are Based On Category. So You Can Get Either More or Less Value per Point, Depending on Where and When You Stay

    Want More Hilton Points?

    There are plenty of ways to earn Hilton points.  For example, you can transfer other miles & points to Hilton.  AMEX Membership Rewards points, Virgin Atlantic miles, and Hawaiian Airlines miles transfer to Hilton at a ratio of 2:3.

    Or, you could sign-up for a Hilton co-branded credit card, like:

    Bottom Line

    There will soon be more ways to redeem your Hilton points!  That’s because Hilton is introducing a Points and Money option on March 1, 2017.

    I like that Hilton is giving us more flexibility when we use our points!  But I’m curious to see exactly how it will work.

    What do you think of this new Hilton Points and Money payment slider?
