I am saving my ff miles for a roundtrip to Tahiti since the miles never expire (that's the rule for this year) but I do belong to the Hilton Honors program and I am currently Silver and will be a Gold member by September. We get a 30% discount on the lowest fare (one of our nice perks) so I fly confirm most of the time and non-rev to Hawaii or Europe. Hilton often gives you an airline rate and you can earn points during your stay. You cannot earn points as an airline crew memeber.

I also save all my diet coke tops (red caps) and I redeem the tops on mycokerewards.com for Hilton Honors points. I also read e-mails on erewards.com and I have redeemed my rewards for Hilton Honors points and also for miles to deposit into my frequent flyer program.

My goal is to earn enough Hilton Honors points to stay 1 week free in a nice resort. Sounds like hard work but it's not.
