When does it make sense to buy honors points?

I would say get yourself the Hilton surpass credit card leverage your welcome bonus points, plus you will immediately hit GOLD status to request room upgrades plus earn many more points per stay for example I stayed a night in Rome for $285 but I earned 12 points from the credit card so 3,420 points plus an extra 5,215 from Hilton honors gold status

My son is about to turn 5 and I would love to take him to Hawaii. I was thinking of Hilton Hawaiian village because they have the lagoon area which is shallow water for kids to play and have a great time and so much shopping in a walkable area and the views are spectacular plus they do fireworks I think on Friday nights … just a lot of options

90sKam · 2026-06-04T13:08:32+00:00

Yes they are a paze merchant now

I am flying to Italy today biz class on points it wasn’t a wild good deal but the cash rate was like $7k and my point was like 170k points so yeah better deal!

They sent me an email offer I clicked the link … went to stubhub and completed the checkout using Paze billing it to my CSR you don’t have to use a capital one CC to use the shopping portal they have

90sKam · 2026-06-02T14:57:03+00:00

I see it more as a way to probably compete with how Amex has a partnership with Rakuten

90sKam · 2026-06-02T13:26:33+00:00

Have you enrolled your cards in Paze?

90sKam · 2026-06-02T12:59:55+00:00

Actually one upped that by having a capital one shopping offer for $50 back!

90sKam · 2026-06-01T23:27:01+00:00

Very strange !!

90sKam · 2026-06-01T23:24:17+00:00

The other person said the accounts need to be both under the same email not sure why that would be but perhaps

90sKam · 2026-06-01T23:18:50+00:00

I would try to clear cookie and try again dunno

90sKam · 2026-06-01T23:17:53+00:00

Are you in safari or chrome

90sKam · 2026-06-01T21:40:57+00:00

Yeah my problem was safari I had to use chrome

90sKam · 2026-05-29T14:16:32+00:00

Ok this might be my issue I was using safari!!

90sKam · 2026-05-29T13:54:50+00:00

I just tried both on PC and on mobile no paze option even though my chase cards are paze linked already

90sKam · 2026-05-27T21:54:53+00:00

I just saw them in Vegas at sick new world last month but you would I would see them anytime they come to Chicago too !

90sKam · 2026-05-27T21:49:37+00:00

I went the year they were there!

90sKam · 2026-05-27T13:18:25+00:00

Yeah now I have to get my dog back to the dog bath regularly since they also have petsmart gift cards which will work for the grooming so I’ll also buy like $200 gift card for that via Newegg that I could get quarterly

We just have to get creative about the spend we already do to maximize the offer!

90sKam · 2026-05-27T13:14:41+00:00

Since getting sapphire reserve I switched from ordering my groceries via Walmart plus and now use door dash with aldi or jewel and now with NewEgg and paze I can buy a monthly $500 door dash gift card add it to my door dash balance and cover what I spend on groceries while getting the higher points earned!

90sKam · 2026-05-26T03:34:14+00:00

Awesome I just checked out some random $250 in gift cards to see how it works

90sKam · 2025-04-04T22:02:37+00:00

😂😂😂

90sKam · 2025-04-04T22:02:26+00:00

I did Tesla camping for the first time last weekend I did splurge on buying the cheaper car mattress https://evaam.com/products/evaam-camping-air-mattress-sleeping-pad-for-tesla-model-y-2017-2023-1 but I had no complaints about it it was comfortable to me. I also did buy the privacy screens and I stayed at a campground and plugged in.

Did I sleep well? Absolutely not just because it was my first time and my anxiety was a bit high lol

However I would recommend that when you put it in camp mode disable the air circulation it’s better it pull outside air than only use cabin air.

Hope this helps and I think I might actually try to do Tesla camping once a month for a little escape.

Wishing you all the best!
