I just posted this plan of attack on my blog and thought I'd share it here. It's not a new concept but just put all the offers together to show a big score of Hilton Honors points if you are needing them.
Here's my plan of attack:
1. Apply for the
Amex Hilton Honors - Best offer currently is 60,000 bonus points ($750 minimum spend) No annual fee! (I have already applied & received this card but only received a 50,000 point offer. The current offer is a little better)
2. Apply for two Hawaiian Airlines cards - 35,000 bonus points each, $79 annual fee & $1,000 minimum spend on both.
Bank of Hawaiian Bank of America
Once the 70,000 Hawaiian miles have been deposited into my account, I will then call & have those miles transferred to Hilton Honors points at a 1:2 ration resulting in a total of 140,000 Hilton Honors points from both cards. View the Hilton Honors points transfer partners and ratio here. Members on Flyertalk confirm the easy transfer on this
thread. Fellow blogger, Million Mile Secrets, Dariaus confirms he has transferred Hawaiian Airline miles to Hilton Honors points in this
recent post.
3. Apply for the
Virgin Atlantic American Express from Bank of America.
Offer is for up to 65,000 Virgin Atlantic miles but 50,000 is actually more feasible. Minimum spend is 2,500. Annual fee $95.
20,000 on first use
25,000 after $2,500 minimum spend
5,000 for adding an authorize user
Once the 50,000 Virgin Atlantic miles have been deposited in my Virgin Atlantic account, I will then call & have the entire 50,000 miles transferred to Hilton Honors points. This transfer will yield 100,000 Hilton Honors points and add to my big score ensuring a wonderful future vacation for my family.

Not FREE Hilton Honors points but about the cost of 1 night. Now I'm off to book my hotels!!! Hope this plan might help you grow your Hilton Honors account too or jump start your account. Need a Hilton Honors account, join here (p.s. - I don't receive any referral bonus on these credit card offers but I always want to share the best ways I know to grow your miles/points accounts and this is a great plan in my opinion)
