We frequently see hotel chains offer incentives for attending timeshare presentations. Usually, those incentives include hotel points and sometimes cash or a gift card. However, I came across an offer in my Hawaiian Airlines account this week to earn 15,000 HawaiianMiles with a new Hilton offer that requires attendance at a timeshare presentation. The cheapest deal includes a 3-night stay in Las Vegas and costs $149.

Quick Thoughts
We’ve sometimes seen offers of as many as 75,000 or 100,000 Hilton points in the past, though I don’t recall the price of a 3-night stay being as low with those offers. Nonetheless, those offers were arguably a better deal than this.
However, Hawaiian Miles can be transferred 1:1 to Alaska Mileage Plan. Alaska miles have a number of great uses. Getting 15,000 miles for a cost of $149 for a Las Vegas stay would be a great deal at an effective price of ~$0.01 per mile. If you also value the 3-night stay, this could be an attractive deal.
The prices for the stays in Hawaii could certainly be appealing, particularly at peak times. Speaking of peak times, I’ve known people who have used the Las Vegas offer to spend a weekend in Las Vegas, when cash prices tend to be very high.
Overall, I found this interesting because of the chance to earn valuable Hawaiian/Alaska miles, though I probably won’t be taking advantage of it right now.
