Our Verdict

They just offered the same deal, looks like this one is YMMV again. Strange to see how many of these YMMV bonuses American Express is now offering, seems like this might be the new meta for transfer bonuses. Other previously Hilton transfer bonuses include:

• January 2nd, 2018: Transfer rate increased permanently from 1:1.5 to 1:2
• October 24th – December 15th, 2017: 33% transfer bonus

Targeted promotions:

• October 16th – November 30th, 2014: 33% bonus (going from a rate of 1:1.5 to a rate of 1:2)
• December 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013, 2013: 33% bonus (going from a rate of 1:1.5 to a rate of 1:2)

For a full list of current and historical offers head over to this post. In terms of how good this deal is it will really depend on how you value Hilton points and Membership Rewards points, I personally wouldn’t transfer unless I had a specific redemption in mind and even then it might make sense to get one of the increased offers on one of the Hilton cards instead:

• American Express Hilton Ascend Bonus Increased To 150,000 Points (Best Ever)
• American Express Hilton Honors Card No Annual Fee Card: 100,000 Point Offer Or 75,000 Points + $100 Statement Credit (Highest Ever)
• American Express Hilton Aspire Bonus Increased To 150,000 Points – Best Ever
• Hilton Honors American Express Business Card 125,000 Point Offer + $100 Statement Credit

Other transfer bonuses include:

• [YMMV] American Express Transfer Bonus: 30% To Virgin Atlantic. No end date listed
• [YMMV] American Express Transfer Bonus: 10%-20% To Aeroplan. No end date listed
