Miles and Points On Sale — February 19 2020

Sometimes you need an infusion of miles or points to your membership account for whatever reason — perhaps to have enough to redeem for a limited time award as one example — and the best time to purchase miles or points is when they are on sale.

Miles and Points On Sale — February 19 2020

A sale may be a discount on the price required to purchase miles or points — or perhaps the frequent travel loyalty program from whom you are buying the miles or points will match your purchase up to 100 percent, which is another way of reducing the cost of miles or points.

The frequent travel loyalty programs which are featured in this edition of miles and points on sale are:

Hilton Honors — but only through the end of the day today
Marriott Bonvoy
World of Hyatt
IHG Rewards Club
Radisson Rewards
American Airlines AAdvantage
United Airlines MileagePlus
Iberia Avios

Hilton Honors: 100 Percent Bonus Points

You can receive a bonus of 100 percent on any purchase of a minimum of 10,000 Hilton Honors points — up to a maximum limit of 160,000 Hilton Honors points for $800.00, which is $0.005 per point when factoring in the bonus points — but you only have until tonight, Wednesday, February 19, 2020 to take advantage of this offer.

World of Hyatt: 25 Percent Discount

Until Saturday, February 29, 2020, you can purchase up to a maximum of 55,000 miles and receive a discount of 25 percent — that is, spend $1,320.00 to receive a total of 55,000 World of Hyatt points — before taxes and fees.

Summary

Remember that each frequent travel loyalty program has partners through which you can redeem miles or points; so you are not confined just to the product offered by an airline or lodging company.

Also be sure to read the terms and conditions of each other. Typically, all sales are final: once you have purchased your miles or points through these sales, you cannot return your points; and your money cannot be refunded.

I am not an advocate of purchasing miles or points; but I have done so on rare occasions — and if you need to do so from the aforementioned frequent travel loyalty programs, now is the right time.
