Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

Looking for a thread on options to extend expiring Hilton Hhonors points...

Thanks

You can buy 1,000 points for $12 or something like that and extend another year. Though if you have had no activity for a year, you may be wasting money.

HHonors Dining is the easiest and cheapest way. Check out the Rewards Network for more details...

The easiest thing to do is to purchase 1000 points for $12.50. Go onto your Hilton account. Click on Member Services, then click on Purchase Points. You can purchase up to 40,000 points ($400). It's fast, simple, is creditted right away. For $12.50 it gives you another year to contemplate what you'll do about Hilton!!!

I would recomend the dining program IF there are places near you that you like to eat at that participate.

If not then get fee free am ex or Visa. You will get the bonus points added in and have silver status at least if you are going to stay with hiltoin again.
