Should You Purchase Hilton Points?
Two years ago, Hilton changed from a fixed-rate redemption to a dynamic rate redemption. Fortunately, they put a maximum limit to the amount they can charge for each hotel category. Redemption rates vary throughout the year.

Below is an example of how you can spend your points when you purchase at 0.5 US cents per point. Note that the prices in the screenshot are before tax. A redemption stay is not bound to tax.

As a general rule of thumb, you should check the rates of your desired hotel before making a points purchase. While you can gain savings if you book your hotels through points, there are instances where it is cheaper to use money to book your hotels.
One last thing to note is that Hilton Honors has been running the same promotion on a monthly basis. Hence, I would advise you to buy enough points for just the upcoming trip that you have in mind.
