points for sale on e bay
I have averaged 100 plus nights@ Hilton properties over the past 7 years.
3 yrs ago My girlfriend and I went to europe ( 1 week in frankfurt including air fare from Green Bay, Wi. USA and 1 week at the Hilton in Athens) all on 500,000 hhonors points .
I liked the hilton honors progrem more before the points/airfare was shut down. But the points are free so as a corporate traveller who am I to complain.
Points redeemed:
500000 european vacation
60000 bangkok milenium hilton
70000 bangkok conrad
18000 st louis hilton
110000 las vegas points/chips +$400.00
35000 Bangkok conrad
40000 Hanoi Hilton
833,000 total used points over the last 7 years
430000 Points I have right now
1,263,000 all totaled -->used and unused points
Right now I am in a Hampton in St Louis Mo. I was looking at stuff on ebay and saw people selling honors points on e bay. One seller was finishing off a auction on 50,000 points and w/2hrs to go the bid was @ $355.00
I thought that selling honors points was against the policy that Hilton has governing point use?
Heres the quandry- if someone offered me $355.00 per 50000 points for all the points that I have/had accumulated it would have been hard to say no to $8967.30
On the other hand, I could have bought a used saturn with that kind of money!.... would I trade the trips I have taken and the cruise we are going on as soon as I get up to 550000 for a sweet used car? (saturn)
Absolutely Not!
I certainly would not have been able to do all the things the hhonors program has afforded me and am very grateful for the places I have been.
I am suprised at that myself!
