Guide

Do Hilton points expire?

Yes. Hilton Honors points expire after 24 consecutive months without eligible activity — the rule was 12 months until Hilton doubled the window. Any stay, card spend or points purchase resets the clock on the whole balance. Points never expire on a date; only inactivity loses them.

Guide

Do United miles expire?

No. United MileagePlus miles do not expire; United dropped its 18-month inactivity rule in August 2019 and has not reinstated it. A balance survives an idle account indefinitely. What it does not survive is devaluation — United prices awards dynamically, so miles held for years tend to buy less.

Guide

Do Southwest points expire?

No. Southwest Rapid Rewards points do not expire while your account stays open — Southwest removed points expiration in 2022. The one thing that loses them is closing the account: Southwest's terms say points in a closed account are terminated, so leave it open even if you stop flying.

Guide

Do Amex points expire?

No. American Express states Membership Rewards points have no expiration date, and there is no inactivity rule. They are forfeited in two situations: closing your last Membership Rewards-earning Card loses unredeemed points immediately, and points can also be forfeited for an unpaid billing period.

Amex to Avios

American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to Avios at 1:1, so 10,000 points become 10,000 Avios. Transfers are usually instant once your Avios account is linked, though Amex asks you to allow up to 72 hours. Periodic transfer bonuses of roughly 15 to 30 per cent are the easiest way to boost the rate.

Tool

What can my points do?

Add your Amex Membership Rewards to your Avios, since they transfer to British Airways at 1:1, and compare the total with off-peak reward prices. A New York–London economy return is 55,000 Avios and business 176,000. The tool sorts trips into within reach now, one transfer away and not yet in reach.

What are Hilton points worth?

A Hilton Honors point is typically worth about 0.4 cents after two consecutive devaluations, so 100,000 points come to roughly $400. Low-demand rooms land nearer 0.35 cents and aspirational resorts around 0.5 cents. The calculator converts any Hilton balance into dollars, pounds and euros at all three rates.

Guide

Capital One Miles transfer to eighteen airline programs and four hotels. Fourteen airlines are 1:1, including Air Canada Aeroplan, Flying Blue, Avianca, British Airways, Singapore and Turkish; Emirates, EVA Air and Japan Airlines are 4:3, and JetBlue 5:3.

Guide

US American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to 16 airlines and 4 hotel programs. Most airlines, including Delta, British Airways, Air Canada Aeroplan and Flying Blue, are 1:1; Cathay Pacific, Emirates and JetBlue are 5:4, Aeromexico 1:1.6 and Hilton 1:2. UK Membership Rewards has its own list, with Emirates at 2:1 and Marriott at 2:3.

Guide

How to earn United miles

Since April 2026, United pays by fare, status and whether you hold a United credit card: general members earn 3 miles per $1 without one and 6 with one, rising to 9 and 12 for Premier 1K. Basic Economy earns less, and nothing for general members without a card. Chase points transfer in at 1:1.

Tool

What are Southwest points worth?

A Southwest Rapid Rewards point is worth about 1.25 cents, so 50,000 points come to roughly $625. Because Southwest prices awards against the cash fare, the value barely moves — about 1.1 cents on cheap fares and 1.4 on higher ones. The calculator converts any Southwest balance into dollars, pounds and euros at all three rates.

Guide

How to book United awards

United has no award chart: miles prices move with demand and the cash fare, and the cheapest are limited saver seats. Since April 2026 primary United cardmembers pay at least 10% fewer miles on United flights. Awards can be changed or canceled free before departure, and Star Alliance partners can be booked with the same miles.
