need 500 points free
Hi, I have 9500 points in an hhonors account which I want to convert to AA miles, but I need to get to 10,000 first - any thoughts on how I can get 500 points without checkning in to a hotel - free is good too!

Need 500 Hhonors points - free is good
I need 500 hhonors points in order to make the threshold for a conversion to AA miles. I don't have a Hilton stay in the near future and would prefer an option that nets me the points free - anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance

I agree, it looks like buying the points is the only way to go for a non US resident. I was hoping for some sort of signup bonus on the web or even a referral bonus somewhere, but $12.50 isn't going to break the bank. Thanks for all your help

All I need is 845 more points!!
Need 40,000 points for 2 nights at MUNICH CITY HILTON. All I need is 845 more points. Is my best bet to buy 1,000 points for $12.50?
I wanted to convert Continental miles, but read on the Hhonors website that they don't do this anymore.

The purchase is your best option if you need the points quickly. Don't forget, you don't need to pull the points just because you are making reservation. You could wait to do that on the day of arrival. So if your trip is not for some time just wait. You never know where you could get some points.

Last year I needed 1000 points for an award and was going to buy them. But when I called, the CS rep comped me the 1000. I didn't even know to ask.

Good for you, jzafar! Kuods to Hilton / HHonors, too, of course.
I hope you'll post a report after our trip - Munich is on my short list, so at least one person here would appreciate your impressions and experiences.
