Hilton Honors Points: Everything You Need To Know

 

If you’re a Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare owner, then you may know that your ownership comes with a free Hilton Honors membership that can be used for some amazing experiences. But what are Hilton Honors Points, and what can they be used for? How does the Hilton Honors loyalty program work? How do you convert HGV Club Points to Hilton Honors points? And how can you make the most of them? In this guide, we will answer all of these questions and more as well as show you how to get the most out of your Hilton Honors Points!

What Is Hilton Honors?

Hilton Grand Vacations owners use Hilton Honors, a free loyalty program that allows them to earn points that allow free stays at a vast network of Hilton-branded hotels. HGV owners can use this program to travel to destinations that are not currently part of the Hilton Grand Vacations Resort portfolio, or they can convert expiring ClubPoints into Hilton Honors points to prevent losing them.

The Hilton Honors program features four distinct membership levels that offer a wide array of benefits based on the membership level: Member, Silver, Gold, and Diamond.
