They’re finally back! 🎉 My favorite elevated offers from Hilton because they come with Free Night Rewards!!!
🚨 There are FOUR elevated offers to choose from. Scroll down for the offers and my quick take to help you decide which one is right for you!
Hilton Free Night Rewards are the most valuable hotel free night certificates because they can be used at any Hilton property worldwide — including luxury Hilton hotels — for a standard award room. There are no blackout dates, but you will need to find standard award availability to redeem. Free Night Rewards expire one year after issuance, and while a few exclusions apply, they can be used at most Hilton hotels.
💳👇🏼 ONE:
The Hilton Honors American Express Card has no annual fee (Rates & Fees) and still includes valuable Hilton Honors perks like a 5th Night Free on reward stays of five or more consecutive nights booked with points (Free Night Rewards do not count).
Strategy: If you and a player 2 open this card, you would each earn a Free Night Reward and have at least 140,000 Hilton points between the two of you. The Free Night Rewards + the 140,000 could easily get you 3 nights at a nice property without paying an annual fee 🤯
💳👇🏼 TWO:
The Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card includes:
5th Night Free on reward stays of five or more consecutive nights booked with points (Free Night Rewards do not count)
automatic Hilton Gold Status — which includes free breakfast internationally and a daily U.S. food and beverage credit (typically $10–$25 per person for you and one additional registered guest)
up to $200 per year in Hilton statement credits issued as $50 per quarter for eligible purchases made directly with Hilton properties
and the opportunity to earn an additional Free Night Reward each year when you spend $15,000 on the card in a calendar year.
Strategy: If you and a player 2 open this card, you would each earn a Free Night Reward and have at least 260,000 Hilton points between the two of you! The Free Night Rewards + the 260,000 Hilton points could easily get you 3-4 free nights at a nice property. PLUS if you are a high spender, you can earn an additional Free Night Reward when you spend $15,000 on the card in a calendar year!
💳👇🏼 THREE:
The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card does not count toward your Chase 5/24 status and includes several valuable Hilton Honors perks. You’ll enjoy:
a 5th Night Free on reward stays of five or more consecutive nights booked with points (Free Night Rewards do not count)
automatic Hilton Gold Status — which includes free breakfast internationally and a daily U.S. food and beverage credit (typically $10–$25 per person for you and one additional registered guest)
plus up to $240 per year in Hilton statement credits, issued as $60 per quarter for eligible purchases made directly with Hilton properties.
💳👇🏼 FOUR:
The Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card includes premium Hilton Honors perks like:
up to $400 per year in Hilton Resort statement credits (issued as up to $200 semi-annually for eligible purchases made directly with participating Hilton Resorts)
one Free Night Reward when you open the card and every year upon renewal
5th Night Free on reward stays of five or more consecutive nights booked with points (Free Night Rewards do not qualify)
Hilton Diamond Status — which includes free breakfast internationally and a daily U.S. food and beverage credit (typically $10–$25 per person for you and one additional registered guest).
Strategy: Get this card if you value Free Night Rewards and would like one every year! If you are strategic about which property you use your Free Night Reward, it can more than offset the higher annual fee.
My Take
If you’re looking to expand beyond Hyatt redemptions after their upcoming award chart change announcement, Hilton Honors has some solid credit card offers — and really good redemption opportunities if you use them strategically!
I’ve personally stayed at some incredible Hilton properties over the past few years using points, including:
The Conrad Bora Bora
Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa (French Polynesia)
Conrad Tokyo
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
Tabacón Thermal Resort and Spa (La Fortuna, Costa Rica)
Homewood Suites by Hilton Jackson Hole
Conrad Punta de Mita (Mexico)
If you’re new to Hilton Honors, welcome!!! — it’s a great program to add to your points and miles strategy!!!
