Hilton Honors redemption guide
Hilton dynamically prices their awards so there is no award chart to rely on. Value is often best when cash prices are low which can limit how much value you get for your points. If you have silver or above status (very easy to get with credit cards) you can redeem five nights for the cost of four (and subsequent multiples of 5 — 10 for 8, etc).
Here are some of the best ways to redeem Hilton points around the world.

Credit Cards
Hilton brand cards
Hilton is the only hotel chain you can earn top-tier status with by opening a card. Cards come with large bonuses and very high earning rates at Hilton.
Cards that transfer to Hilton
It is rarely a good idea to transfer points to Hilton. Each point is generally worth much more transferred to an airline partner or redeemed for cash. You can transfer to Hilton from American Express Membership Rewards.
