How to Convert Delta Skymiles to Hilton Honor Points

1. Delta SkyMiles account number
2. Hilton Honor Points account number
3. Credit or debit card

Many airlines and hotels have frequent-flier, loyalty programs, and membership rewards points for their customers. Rewards programs such as Delta SkyMiles allow customers to collect airline miles from all of their flights. These miles then build up and can be redeemed in the form of awards. As a frequent flyer, you can also transfer points to another member's account or to a different program, such as Hilton Honor Points, in which customers collect points for their stays at Hilton Hotels. Although Delta does not allow for this transfer directly on its website, it is easy for customers to transfer their miles for points in 5,000 point increments, with a 5,000 minimum number of points.

Go online to check the number of SkyMiles you have accumulated so that you can get a sense of how many Hilton Honor Points you may earn. For every 5,000 Delta SkyMiles transferred, you receive 10,000 Hilton Honor Points. Perks include bonus points awarded at certain program milestones. Annual fees vary.

Tip

SkyMiles can get you benefits across other airlines and hotels. Use points transfer with IHG Rewards Club, World of Hyatt, and Marriott Bonvoy points. For more flying benefits you can transfer miles for upgrade to Air France business class, or flying Virgin Atlantic to London in Upper Class. Skymiles can also get you car rentals and free nights. Terms apply.

Have your Delta SkyMiles and Hilton Honor Points account numbers and PIN numbers, as well as a credit card because fees apply during this transaction. Note that you will be required to pay a transaction fee of $30, with additional applicable taxes or fees.

Tip

Redeeming points with a Hilton Honors Account is easy through KLM Flying Blue rewards as well as various airline partners like Asiana and American Airline.

Hilton Honors Points with an American Express Card:

American Express membership rewards and Hilton are transfer partners. If you are an American Express Business Card holder, you can redeem at an exchange rate of 1,000 AmEx points to 2,000 Hilton Honors points. Certain Hilton Honors milestones are rewarded with benefits such as complimentary Hilton Diamond status.

Check online to see whether the transaction was completed successfully. You might need to wait at least 24 hours for it to be completed. You could be contacted for additional information.

Tip

Remember to include any applicable account numbers and PINs when contacting Delta SkyMiles by mail, telephone or e-mail for faster and easier service. Remember that miles are nonrefundable once they are converted to Hilton Honor points. You may also use SkyMiles Marketplace to redeem any earned SkyMiles for things such as hotel stays at Hilton hotels.
