23 April, 2026 / By Kartik Kanwar / 0 Comment

American Express has rolled out a rewarding transfer bonus for Platinum Charge, Gold Charge, Platinum Reserve, and Platinum Travel Credit Cardholders, and before you get too excited, no, it’s not for Marriott Bonvoy. Cardholders who transfer their Membership Rewards points to Hilton Honors can get a 50% bonus on transfers. The offer is valid from 23rd March to 23rd May and is targeted (user-specific).

To put things into perspective, under the regular conversion rate, 2,00,000 Membership Rewards points would get you 1,80,000 Hilton Honors points. However, with the 50% bonus in place, the same 2,00,000 points can fetch you 2,70,000 Hilton points, an additional 90,000 points at no extra cost. For those planning a stay at a Hilton property anytime soon, this offer can significantly boost the value of your rewards.

Usual Transfer Ratio Hilton Honors 1 MR = 0.90 Hilton Honors Points

Bottom Line

The American Express Platinum Charge Card is one of the most premium offerings in the country. While it comes with a high annual fee, it also delivers a range of premium benefits, including complimentary elite statuses like Hilton Honors Gold. This makes it an ideal card for such transfer offers, as cardholders not only enjoy on-property benefits through their elite status but can also maximize value by earning bonus points when transferring their Membership Rewards points to Hilton Honors.

Along with the Platinum Charge Card, other American Express Cardholders, such as the Platinum Travel Credit Card, MRCC, and Gold Charge, can also benefit from this limited-time offer and get a transfer bonus on MR points converted to Hilton Honors.

It’s worth noting that Hilton points usually offer lower value, so American Express users may be better off transferring points to Marriott instead.
