The conversation ratio depends on the airline, but many partners you'd be interested in transferring points to have a 10:1 transfer ratio. In recent award redemptions, AwardWallet members have gotten <a href=\"\/en\/point-mile-values\">0.64 cents per Hilton Honors point<\/a>. It's really hard to get 6.4 cents per airline mile in value. So, you'll lose value on most conversions.<\/p>\n<p>So, I would only transfer points from Hilton to airlines in extreme cases where you just need a few more miles for a flight. If you're looking for ways to top off your account, check out <a href=\"\/mile-transfer-times\">AwardWallet's transfer partners tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hilton used to let members double-dip on earnings &#8212; similar <a href=\"\/hotels\/marriott-bonvoy\/marriott-airline-partners\/\">Marriott's partnership with United and Emirates<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blog\/hyatt-american-airlines-partnership\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyatt's partnership with American<\/a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/accor-live-limitless\/flying-blue-partnership\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Accor's partnership with Flying Blue<\/a>. Now, you can't earn both points and miles on your stays at Hilton Hotels on any partners.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since it's not good to transfer Hilton Honors points to miles anyway, 11 partner airlines fewer is no great loss.
