The new sale gives some members up to a 100% bonus when they buy a certain amount of points between May 30, 2022, and July 19th, 2022, which is somewhat targeted and the bonus may be 80% for some members. You can buy points with this sale. In this current sale, I can buy up to 160K points before the bonus, which is more than the 80K limit they limit members to.

5th night free. Use points to book 5 nights for the price of 4. This benefit is valid on longer stays, so if staying 10 nights you’ll get both the 5th and 10th nights free. Hilton status is required to take advantage of this benefit, but you can get that with the fee-free Hilton credit card.
Save money on low category hotels. Hilton hotel awards start at 5,000 points per night, but those can be very difficult to find. 10,000 and 15,000 point properties are more common. These would cost $50 or $75 when booked with purchased points or less if using the 5th night free benefit.
Stay at top tier properties for less. Most of Hilton’s top tier properties top-out at 95,000 points per night for a standard room. With this promotion, 95,000 points would cost you $475. That’s not bad for top tier hotels which often cost $800 or more.
Pool points with up to 10 other members. Hilton allows members to create a pool with up to 10 people to share points back and forth. This makes the effective purchase limit much higher when combining forces with other members.
When you book nights with points, you will not earn points for the stay unless Hilton is running a promotion that awards bonus points per night/stay which includes award nights.
Most hotel taxes are not charged on award stays, so this can make the value of buying points even better. Arguably, this factor and the one above roughly cancel each other out.
Resort and destination fees are waived on award stays. This alone can make it worthwhile to use points instead of cash for your bookings.
