The Hilton Honors points pooling feature is very powerful, letting you move large numbers of points to other people, online and with no fees.
This feature allows up to 10 people to transfer their points to you free of charge, with no requirement to share an address.
Pooling is designed to allow groups of family or friends to merge their points in order to do a joint redemption.
In theory, Hilton used to promote ‘points pooling’ with the example of two people redeeming for a suite which may be a better deal than each individually redeeming for standard rooms.
In reality, there are no restrictions on how pooled points can be used.
