    Here in Thailand, you can stay at Hilton for 40 USD per night (Deluxe room with no breakfast) and if you already have Gold status, you will get free breakfast and room upgrade.
    So you can just go for 15 stays and be ready for international travel 💪

    1/3 of your life on the road is common in many jobs. I’m now lifetime after 16 years of heavy job related travel. And I get no airline miles, so I’ll take the LIMITED perks of Diamond. I do enjoy annual vacations in nice hotels when there are Hilton properties.

    New data point: AMEX is investigating any purchases over $100 at supermarkets. They will clawback points if they find out any part of your purchase was for gift cards or prepaid cards. www.doctorofcredit.com/american-express-clawing-back-some-points-from-12x-6x-hilton-grocery-promotion/

      So downgrading/canceling the Aspire card on the 13th month but still get to keep diamond status for remainder of the year after only paying it for it the first month and getting the rest of the annual fee refunded back is that still the case or they caught on to that to?
      BTW love your content very great and helpful tips on hilton honors credit cards and status upgrades

      Lol it was possible at the time. Amex became more restrictive and look out for abuse now. They actually have a Rewards Abuse Team (RAT) looking out for this stuff. Still possible if you can justify the spend when questioned.

    Base point is the point you earn from hilton properties (excluding the bonus point) , credit points are not count toward base points. Please check fact guys . So many information in this video is not true.

    Can you explain how the Aspire Diamond status will continue for an additional year if you cancel after 13 or 14 months? Does it renew by calendar year or membership year? Thanks.

    • @stromtrooper919
      @stromtrooper919 3 роки тому

      I know you’re technically supposed to lose Diamond status after you cancel/downgrade the Aspire card. But it sounds like you’re saying if you pay an extra month’s prorated AF, then cancel, you will extend Diamond status for the remainder of your membership year?

    On eBay they’re selling upgrade your membership to diamond status for two years. Would you recommend that? $495.00 and also would that be towards lifetime diamond status if you had it for 10 years?

  • @jamesbryson9542
    @jamesbryson9542 3 роки тому +4

    Bonus points are not base points.... so I'm not sure how this would work? Credit cards do not reward base points. (12x, 34x, points offers, represents the amount of times the BASE).

    • @FullValueDan

      Usually they don't, there was a special feature for Aspire Cardholders for 2020

      @@FullValueDan can you give location for info? Aspire lists "bonus point" accrual and 12-34 x points. Base points are defined on Hiltons FAQs as dollars spent on a folio, which are then doubled or 34x with promos or card features..... I'd love to know if Diamond can be hacked this way, but I have tons of bonus points,that never count towards tier status.

      Yesterday also watch the video about a guy who said hotel loyalty programs weren't worth it.he basically said you spent all this money and follow their rules to get to a certain level but when you get to a certain level it isn't that special as they advertise it to be because there's so many stipulations and they don't really prioritize you as you would think. At the fancy hotels they are so scripted to tell you that you can't have one of your benefits in such a polite way.

    • @FullValueDan
      @FullValueDan  4 роки тому

      Very true, lots of benefits are changing this year due to the pandemic so it might be a while until the benefits come back. The only real benefits I use are the early check in, late check out and free breakfast. I rarely get a significant room upgrade, but when it happens I feel like a won the hotel lottery (ua-cam.com/video/9l-5nLcoM9U/v-deo.html).
      The traditional way of getting hotel status by staying in hotels is a lot of work and very expensive. The easy way is to leverage hotel status you get from a credit card to get status with other chains with status matching.
