Hotel loyalty programs provide you with points that can be used for discounts, free nights, etc but if you’re a Hilton Honors member, you can now use your points to shop on Amazon. It has been announced today that more than 66 million Hilton Honors members can now redeem their Hilton Honors Points for purchases at Amazon.com.

Hilton is the first hotel brand to offer its members the ability to shop with their loyalty points on Amazon.com, the online retail giant that needs no introduction.

By teaming up with Amazon, we are able to offer our Hilton Honors members yet another choice in how they redeem their Hilton Honors Points,” Hilton says in a press release.

This benefit is available now for free to all eligible Hilton Honors members. They will have to complete a one-time link of their Hilton Honors account to their Amazon account. Once that’s done, they can then choose the amount of points that they want to use when checking out their purchase at Amazon.

When the ordered is placed, the points applied to the purchase will be deducted from the order total and displayed as “Rewards Points” on the screen. Amazon’s FAQ mentions that 500 Hilton Honors Point will be equal to $1 on Amazon.com.

So if you have tons of points, you can purchase a lot of items from Amazon. Things that can’t be purchased on these loyalty points just yet include Amazon Appstore apps, Amazon Video titles, Kindle downloads, digital music, items from AmazonFresh, and more.
