Hilton Honors Experiences: How to redeem points for activities, VIP events, concerts and more
07.08.2024 - 15:11 / thepointsguy.com / Katie Genter
If you're a regular TPG reader, you know we believe that the best use of hotel points is for hotel stays — other uses are almost always a bad idea. This is because you typically lose value on your hotel points when you redeem them for other things outside of booking a hotel.
However, Hilton Honors Experiences is determined to prove that there are other ways to redeem your Hilton points that won't yield an offensive return. While not all options are good deals, we'll show you how to determine which are winners.
Hilton Honors Experiences are a fun, non-hotel-stay way to redeem your points. There are four main categories for Hilton Honors Experiences:
This concept is not unique to Hilton; other hotel loyalty programs, such as Marriott Bonvoy Moments and Hyatt Find Experiences, also offer the ability to book exclusive events and adventures with points. But Hilton's got a handful of excellent value propositions.
You can book things like PGA Championship tickets (both general admission and VIP), an evening meet-and-greet with various celebrities, Formula One passes and even an activity during your stay at a Hilton property.
In 2022, TPG Senior Writer Katie Genter redeemed 20,000 Hilton points through Hilton Experiences for a 60-minute couples massage and a four-course dinner for two.
While Experiences aren't exclusively hotel-related, some may include a Hilton hotel stay. For example, when you book the "Ultimate Thanksgiving Parade Viewing Experience," you'll receive three nights at the New York Hilton Midtown along with various credits, welcome amenities and access to a VIP parade viewing area.
Some are auctioned, while others can be "purchased" instantly with points. The ones that require bidding have a definite expiration time, at which point the highest bidder will win the experience.
You can also link your Hilton account to Ticketmaster to redeem points for concerts and other events.
Booking Experiences with your points is simple. Just head to the Hilton Honors Experiences website and begin poking around. At the top of the page, you can choose from specific destinations and Experience categories. You can also choose to see all Experiences at once.
You can sort Experiences by bid count, current bid and time left. You can also filter your search by the number of points required and whether an Experience is an auction or available for immediate redemption. If you're looking exclusively for an on-property Hilton experience, there's a filter for that, too.
Once you find an intriguing Experience, click on it to read more details. You'll see everything that comes with the purchase (hotel stay, food, etc.), as well as the number of guests it includes. If you're willing to part with the points, you can redeem

How I leveraged a 5-minute schedule change into a much more comfortable flight itinerary
Points and miles are an incredibly useful way to fly more cheaply and comfortably. However, using them also means that you will often have fewer options than if you bought your flight with cash. That's because airlines release limited award availability, especially when it comes to popular dates and routes.
