How to Redeem Hilton Free Night Award Certificates

Hilton free night rewards are highly sought after since they can be used for any standard room priced under the award category. Maximize their value by using them at high-end hotels where standard nights can go up to 150,000 points.

Keep in mind that free night certificates are only valid for standard room awards. They cannot be applied to premium room categories, such as suites, villas, ocean-view rooms, or accommodations with private pools.

There are no blackout dates for reward certificates, but availability at top-tier hotels can be limited. Finding a standard room may require some flexibility, and using the 'shop by price' feature can help you see the lowest rates for the entire month.

With a bit of patience, you can discover the perfect opportunities to use your certificates at some incredible destinations worldwide.
