I have a bunch of hotels stays coming up at Hilton hotels. Should I open a Hilton credit card to get points? This is a one off thing and not sure how much I will book Hilton in the future, but I will if it makes sense. Any advice? Are hilton honors points valuable?

Alternatively I could just put it all on the chase Sapphire reserve that I already have, just won't earn as many points.

Definitely open up new cards for the SUBs. I would priorize Inks or Amex biz cards depending on the level of spend you're talking about.

I agree and pair my Chase Sapphire Reserve with the Chase Ink Business Cash (no annual fee).

Open a Hilton Aspire card if the Hilton properties are from the good brands in their portfolio. If not wouldn’t bother. Would get you diamond status automatically
