By doing so, Sarah booked a $2,200 overwater bungalow on points, getting a value of 3.8 cents per Amex point.

Then, when you swipe one of those cards at a participating restaurant, you&#8217;ll automatically earn extra Hilton Honors points. These points are in addition to regular points or miles you&#8217;d earn with your credit card, so make sure you link a card that earns bonuses on dining purchases for the highest points earned on eating out.<\/p>\n<p>After signing up for Hilton Honors Dining, opt in for email notifications. Doing so will give you &#8220;select member&#8221; status and let you earn 5 Hilton points per dollar spent at participating restaurants. If you opt out of receiving emails, your earning rate will drop to 2 points per dollar spent. While your privacy is important, giving your email address is a small price for earning an extra 3 points per dollar spent \u2014 especially if you dine out a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Hilton Honors Dining also lets you order online and earn bonus points for takeout or delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you dine with Hilton Honors Dining 11 times a year, you&#8217;ll be upgraded to the service&#8217;s VIP status tier. This boosts your earning rate to 8 points per dollar spent at participating restaurants. You can keep VIP status indefinitely by dining with the program 11 or more times yearly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/maximize-dining-rewards-programs\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The most generous airline and hotel dining rewards programs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"earn-hilton-points-through-travel-partners\" class=\"jsx-3480274316 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-3480274316\">Earn Hilton points through travel partners<\/h2>\n<p>Like most loyalty programs, Hilton Honors has a suite of partners that you can use to earn even more points.

Generally speaking, <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/when-to-buy-points-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">buying points or miles<\/a> is a poor value proposition, as you usually need to pay an excessive amount. However, it could make sense with certain programs and circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Hilton has previously run a 100% points purchase promotion that lowered the price to 0.5 cents apiece, slightly below <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/monthly-valuations\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">TPG&#8217;s valuations<\/a>. At this rate, it may make sense to purchase the points outright for a specific redemption, especially if the cash rate is sky-high.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/maximizing-redemptions-hilton-honors\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">8 ways to maximize Hilton Honors redemptions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"bottom-line\" class=\"jsx-3480274316 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-3480274316\">Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Hilton Honors points are some of the easiest hotel points to earn.
