The Hilton Aspire card is definitely my go to Hotel card. Tons of value..I got my $550 AF back this year just in Amex offers, not to mention all the other credits and perks the card has to offer.
I value the Hilton points at .65 cents, not .4 based on hotel price + cash. Since Hilton allows for the fifth night free, that goes up in even further.
If you live in a city with a decent Hilton property, more than likely it has a good restaurant in it. That will code for the $50 quarterly credit as well.
Confirm what the SUB points are worth after you meet the min spend. Both MGM and Caesar’s will get you free parking. The biggest problem with Caesar’s is that they have added more tiers to the Diamond status. They also closed the status match from the Wyndham business credit card.
What about the AMEX Bonvoy brilliant and Bevy or the Amex Hilton Aspire? The Brilliant and Aspire are the two highest annual fee hotel cards and I personally get a lot of value from the Brilliant. The Bevy I think is another no annual fee card for Marriott that would be nice to compare to the Basic Hilton card.
Have the Choice and Hilton Surpass. Both great cards. Great video Adam!
Sonesta card never gets mentioned and has the highest bonus with properties in major US cities such as SF, Chicago, and DC. $1200 bonus on 2k spend.

In 3rd place 🥉 Amex Hilton Aspire card, in 2nd place 🥈 Chase Ritz Carlton card, and the Champion is 🥇 Amex Marriott Brilliant. Cheers 🍻
On the IHG card you missed a key benefit of Platinum--4th night free on rewards stays.

I thought you had to have a stay at the property? Have you successfully done this?
@sawyermeyer515 I work for a Hilton and the credit works at the coffee shop, the restaurants, you name it. It doesn't have to be a stay
Great video. I got the IHG Premier card last month. I think it's a keeper, but I need to test drive it for a while.
Amex Hilton Surpass, Amex Marriott Bonvoy Bevy for me!
Great job on UA-cam ♥️
I got the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless and my wife has the Hilton Honors ($0 AF), Hyatt Visa and the IHG One Rewards Premier.
What is your opinion on the Caesars rewards credit card? It's one I've definitely considered getting but haven't jumped on yet

Only issue with Wyndham is points expire in 5 years regardless of having card. So if you are a point holder, this chain is not for you.
I like Amex
On the Hilton $50 bonus--buy a gift card...
Need an Airbnb card
