Hilton Honors points generally expire after 24 months of account inactivity, and Silver status by itself does not appear to prevent that expiration. Activity that earns or uses points typically resets the clock.

What counts as activity

  • Earning points from a stay or eligible purchase.
  • Redeeming points.
  • Other qualifying account activity that Hilton recognizes.

Silver status note

  • Silver status is a status tier, not a special no-expiration rule for points.
  • Some forum posts mention points still expiring after two years of no activity even when the account has Silver status.

Practical rule

If you want to keep Hilton points alive, make sure there is at least one qualifying account activity every 24 months.
