How to Transfer American Airlines Miles to Hilton HHonors Points

Need Hilton HHonors points for a free hotel stay?  Have extra American Airlines AAdvantage miles?

You can transfer American miles to Hilton points. It's easy.  And the exchange rate is good.

1 American Airlines mile = 2 Hilton HHonors points. 

The deal is only good going American -> Hilton.  It's a bad deal the other way around at 10,000 HHonors points = 1,500 American Airlines miles.

So if you have 20,000 American Airlines miles you can transfer them to Hilton and get 40,000 HHonors points.  40,000 HHonors points gets you one night at a category 6 hotel like the Conrad Tokyo - normally ~$600/night.  Or those 40,000 points could get you 4 or 5 free nights at Hilton's lowest category properties.

There is a $25 fee per transfer and you have to transfer at least 5,000 miles.  You can learn more about the transfer process at American Airlines' website.  If you are ready to transfer miles to points you can go straight to the transfer page.
