How to Send Hilton Points

Ever found yourself staring at a stash of Hilton Honors points and wondering, “Wouldn’t it be nice if I could just share some of these with my travel buddy, spouse, or points-hungry cousin Steve?” The good news is that you can. Learning how to send Hilton points is easier than remembering your Hilton room number after a complimentary wine tasting.

Whether you’re pooling points for a dream vacation or just want to help someone top off their balance for a free night, here’s everything you need to know about sharing your Hilton Honors bounty.

Can You Send Hilton Points?

Yes! Hilton makes it refreshingly simple to transfer points to other Hilton Honors members. Whether you’re a generous soul or trying to combine forces for a redemption, Hilton lets you either transfer points directly or pool them with up to 10 people. Think of it as forming a points Avenger’s team — but for vacations instead of saving the world.

Option 1: Transferring Points Directly

If you’re wondering how to send Hilton points to a friend or family member, direct transfer is your go-to move.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Head to the Hilton Honors point transfer page.
2. Log in to your Hilton Honors account.
3. Enter the number of points you want to send.
4. Input the recipient’s Hilton Honors account number and name.
5. Confirm and send!

It’s as easy as ordering room service — and equally satisfying.

Transfers are limited to six per calendar year, and you can’t send more than 500,000 points or receive more than 2 million in a year. That should still cover a few tropical escapes and maybe a spa day (or three).

Option 2: Creating a Hilton Points Pool

Want to get the whole gang involved? Hilton lets you create a points pool with up to 10 people. It’s a great way to combine points from several accounts to fund a big vacation — like that friends’ trip to Cabo that’s been “in the group chat” since 2017.

To pool points:

1. Go to the Hilton Points Pooling page.
2. Invite up to 10 family members or friends.
3. Each member can contribute their points to the pool.
4. Use the combined balance for redemptions — like a boss.

Just remember, like transfers, point pooling is limited to six transactions per member per year. So, plan before you start playing Tetris.

Who Can Receive Hilton Points?

Any Hilton Honors member with an active account can receive points. However, the recipient must have a Hilton account before you initiate the transfer or pool. So if your aunt Karen is new to the game, make sure she signs up first — and maybe remind her that her password shouldn’t be “password123.”

Is There a Fee to Send Hilton Points?

Nope! One of the nicest things about Hilton’s points transfer system is that it’s completely free. Unlike other programs that might charge a fee to move points around (looking at you, airline programs), Hilton lets you share without dipping into your travel budget.

It’s Hilton’s way of saying, “Go ahead, be the hero in someone else’s travel story.”

Should You Transfer or Pool Hilton Points?

Here’s a quick cheat sheet:

Remember that both options have limits and can’t be reversed once done — so make sure you’re not clicking “Send” before your morning coffee has kicked in.

Transfer Hilton Points to Airlines (But Should You?)

Technically, you can also transfer Hilton points to several airline programs like Delta, United, and Flying Blue. But the value usually tanks faster than your motivation after a red-eye flight.

For example, 10,000 Hilton points convert to just 1,000 airline miles in most programs — not exactly a great deal. It’s generally best to use Hilton points for hotel stays or to transfer them to another Hilton Honors member who will make good use of them.

Unless, of course, you’re sitting on millions of points and feel like spreading joy. In that case, may we be added to your friends list?

Before You Transfer: A Few Final Tips

• Double-check the recipient’s Hilton Honors number. Sending points to the wrong Steve could end in heartbreak and awkward family reunions.
• Use transfers strategically, especially when close to a redemption or during a promo period.
• Keep an eye on pooling and transfer limits so you don’t hit a wall mid-trip planning.

Learning how to send Hilton points is one of the most underrated travel hacks — especially when you’re coordinating group travel or helping a loved one. It’s simple, free, and flexible. Whether you transfer a few thousand points to help a friend or build a points pool for that long-overdue family reunion, Hilton makes sharing easy.

And if you’re looking to turn unused points into something more immediate (like cash), you can always choose to sell airline miles with Cash for My Miles. We’ll help you convert those points into real value — no blackout dates or fine print required.
