Quick Thoughts
Leading Hotels of the World normally sells its points for 12 cents per point. On the face of it that sounds extortionately high when you consider that most hotel loyalty program points are worth anything from 0.5 cents per point to 2 cents per point.
While 12 cents per point is high, it’s not as high as you might think and this points sale can actually provide some good value. The 50% bonus drops the cost to 8 cents per point, the 75% bonus to 6.86 cents per point, and the 100% bonus to 6 cents per point.
It’s often possible to find Leading Hotels of the World redemptions for ~8 cents per point, so buying with a 75% or 100% bonus could save you money on the stay if you’d have otherwise paid cash rates. An important thing to bear in mind though is that cash rates tend to be high due to the quality of the properties that are part of Leading Hotels of the World. As a result, even if you’re buying at 6 cents per point and redeeming at 8 cents per point, you might still be paying a pretty penny for your stay.
Points purchases are processed by Points.com, so buying points won’t code as a travel purchase. However, you can click through from a shopping portal to earn some additional rewards on the transaction.
Don’t forget that Leading Hotels of the World is now a transfer partner of Citi, so you can transfer ThankYou points on a 5:1 basis. You can also get complimentary Sterling status in the Leaders Club loyalty program if you have an American Express Platinum Card® or The Business American Express Platinum Card®.
