Anyone research the Hilton Amex aspire? Is it a good deal? Aside from the Hilton program being one of the worst programs, if I’m a Hilton guy it seems like a great deal. $450 fee

G1, Hilton has poor return for each dollar spent from a points perspective unless there is a triple points promo. The benefits you get from status suck as well (e.g., no guaranteed late checkouts, suite upgrades never happen)

Saw it, am also intrigued. Why is Hilton so horrible? I’ve been an SPG guy for ages, but now that it’s Marriott, the Points Guy has similar valuation of MR and Hilton points. Thoughts?

Yeah that’s right. I find that you really have to demand your amenities at Hilton. Half the time they don’t even greet you as a diamond member. But if you press them, I find I almost always get the upgrades and perks. It’s just a bit annoying that you have to beg for this stuff.

Also the $100 credit for a 2 night stay seems pretty awesome. Seems like that is unlimited?

Not sure if you don’t get a good deal for booking through their website?

Sounds like that $100 credit wouldn't go towards room rate/taxes, only incidentals. I am betting you can't use corporate rates with it either. Not 100% sure tho!

Yeah but I mean easy to get to $100 for 2 nights right. That’s one meal and a few beers.

It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
