Best Amex Hilton Upgrade Strategy for Free Weekend Nights + Points

[@cjcab3158]

I was sitting on 730k Hilton points. I finally decided to splurge at the Waldrof Astoria Los Cabos. Even though the minimum points needed for a standard redemption were 120k per night i got the 5th night free. The cash rate per night would have been around $850 per night before taxes and fees! All in all the 5 nights in cash would have cost me $5200 but instead used 480k Hilton points! Amazing value!

[@AskSebby]

End of the day, it's about your happiness :) You could get 10 CPP but if it's Vail / Colorado for skiing (and you hate snow) then it doesn't really help.

[@oeckstei]

Good God that’s great! Did you follow Sebby’s advice in this video and/ or do you have a business/ high spend lifestyle, lol

[@technicallygood7569]

@@AskSebby question sir: So I've had the free Hilton Honors card for a year, and I just got an upgrade offer on it for 100K points for $2K in spend. I was just thinking of applying for the surpass first to get the 130K point intro bonus for $2K in spend. I saw that I must apply for that intro bonus first. Can I take take advantage of both offers in the same day as long as I apply for that intro bonus first, or should I space the two out and wait until I at least receive the intro bonus card to accept the upgrade offer?

[@TheDivaIsIntheDetails]

How far apart did you get the Surpass and the Aspire cards. Could one get the Surpass card and then in 90 days get the Aspire or should you get one of their charge cards in between to play it off and wait 8-12 months to get the Aspire card?

[@laurenmichaud537]

@@TheDivaIsIntheDetails I got the Aspire in August and Surpass in October. American Express isn't as sensitive to application momentum as other creditors (Chase); so long as you stay within their rules of 2 revolvers in 90 days. If your credit history can support the application - apply. FYI - I would use their pre-approval process to see what cards you are eligible for. Whatever is on the list - you are guaranteed to get.

I plan on combining a Qatar Q Suites flight with a stay in the Hilton Pearl Residences in Doha. It’s 47k a night so the Surpass and regular Hilton cards will cover more than enough of the stay.

[@iandalonso]

FYI the free night for the aspire has limitations, it is only for standard rooms. I tried to book a free night in bora bora, but was told that they classify all of their rooms as premium rooms and my certificate wouldn't work.

[@oeckstei]

What property did you end up using for the free night that qualified?

[@j.l9385]

Yea I tried using my night certificate from my Surpass card for the Caribe Hilton in puerto rico. It wouldve been about $600 a night but the hotel "didnt qualify for the free night" . Still managed to use it for a different resort which cost about $400 a night

[@Li9uid]

I was able to use the sign up bonus from the no annual fee card and the aspire card to stay at the Conrads in Osaka & Tokyo for a total of five nights each, 10 total. I also used points for the hilton Narita

[@AskSebby]

Sounds like a good redemption! Conrads in Japan are on my list.

[@itsmejohnnyjay]

I am diamond via the aspire card and I can tell you first hand that when you check in as a diamond member at Hilton, you get treated better than other customers, they basically kiss my ass and upgrade me and give me early check in and late check out, gifts, and bigger rooms. I am not an asshole to them or arrogant about being a diamond member, so that might help but the free breakfast is above what gold members get...gold are usually limited on the free parts of breakfast and diamond gets anything... it is great!

This did not work for me. I opened all three in 2018, checked regularly with American Express, and I was never offered an upgrade.

Hey Sebby, big Fan of your channel and your effort to help everyone know the best ways to use credit cards to their benefit! Thank you for that! I have 2 questions. Do you think the Marriott Brilliant and Hilton Aspire are both good keeper cards together? Are the sign up bonuses worth it compared to the spend? Sorry 3 questions...Is the Citi Prestige a good keeper card in your opinion?

[@Farhancanopyone]

Would it be fair to say we are getting the value of $10,153.20 for 160K Hilton Points? Read below and provide input. We ended up utilizing 160K Hilton Points at Hilton Tokyo Narita Airport during the 2020 Olympics for 10 nights for 20K points each night. Because of the 5th free night, we are only utilizing 16000 points per night. Not the most ideal location for the Olympics but everything else is astronomically priced! Looking at the prices just today, the Twin room at Hilton Tokyo Narita Airport between July 22nd 2020 and Aug 10th 2020 is going for 111,500 Japanese Yen ($1015.32 USD) with breakfast included.....Thoughts?

Tip - $100 Honors & Surpass Credit...in addition to the signup bonus. Login to your HH account and begin making a reservation. Prior to completing the reservation, you will see an ad to sign up for either the HH or Surpass card...with an offer of a $100 statement credit after your first purchase. And, the purchase does not need to be with Hilton. Of course, unfortunately, Sebby won't get a referral bonus in this case.

Thanks for the continue great content on the entire travel credit card market! I have over 10 cards and not looking at putting spend right now toward any new sign-up bonus, FYI. I’m able to put $15k on the Hilton‘s passcard by end of this year, but is that a wise decision for just 1 free non weekend hotel night or should I put this on my CFU card for Chase UR points? Hilton is 6X points on gas station and groceries, so through gift cards this is attainable and that helps the points for Hilton , but I still think Chase UR points is the better ROI.

[@LK_EBM]

Do the math. Where will you (realistically) be using the free night at? For example, if you stay at a $700 hotel. $700 value for $15k spend = 4.6% return on spend. You're CFU gets 1.5 UR points. Will you realistically get ~3 CPP from UR, to beat out the Hilton?

[@billwright2176]

Hearing upgrades being talked about is frustrating. We've had the hilton no fee card 18 years. Credit in the mid 800s and credit limit has been raised automatically to equal multiple times what would be normal starting probably even for a platinum card. And we pay it off every month without carrying a balance. Now retirement has arrived for me and almost the wife. its time to have some trips. They offer us nothing to upgrade. We are thinking to just apply for the aspire and will keep this one open and little used. We called and asked for the retention dept. Twice. They will let us do it without a points promotions. Advice? Many of the platinum card extras don't seem to fit for us. I'm probably going to continue to build chase cards. We have some good memories at some hilton properties.

I’ve always been curious. If you have any mid or high end hotel status e.g. Hilton Aspire card for diamond status, does the people working at the front desk of the hotel know if you have this status level because you have a certain credit card (compared to status based on spend/paid nights)?? Was wondering if some people don’t get upgrades even with status because hotel knows that you have it because of a CC and not because you necessarily stay at the hotel brand often. Does anyone know? Thanks.

[@headlibrarian1996]

Unless you naturally spend $15k on hotels every year, why would you want to put that kind of spending on a Hilton card rather than an MR-earning Card? The Aspire itself creates a problem of needing to put $250 of MR-earning spending into lower value HH-earning spending, much like the Amex Plat turns 2x Saks spending and 3x Uber spending into 1x spending. That naturally leads into the more general question of hotel cards siphoning spending from MR-earning cards, which seems no different in principle from splitting your spending between Chase UR and Amex MR.

[@AskSebby]

For the Surpass? Rent or business expenses via Plastiq at 2.5% would work. 2.5% * $15,000 = $375 = I'd happily pay that for a weekend night (YMMV obviously).
