Is Amex points to Hilton worth it?

Personally I value Amex points at ~1.7 cents each, while I value Hilton Honors points at ~0.5 cents each. Based on my valuation of points and the 1:2.6 transfer ratio, you're getting about 1.3 cents of value per Amex point. While not amazing, that's also not terrible, and for many this could prove to be worthwhile.
