Great video sir, thank you. I just applied 7 days ago and was approved for the Hilton Honors card, just because of the elevated offer of 70K and a free night. That's too good of a deal to pass up. Cheers!
Appreciate the kind words ! I agree , even if it was just the Free night it would be Killer , but 70,000 which is worth conservatively around 300~ dollars is a no brainer !!
Solid video, the way you explained the Hilton Ladder was very well done! Also, I challenge you to think past Chase 5/24, it’s just marketing. Get the cards you want, and keep moving on to other banks
Thank you KeyKey! It’s a work in progress haha , being so heavy into Hyatt , it’s always been my safe place! Maybe this transition into Hilton is my step away from Chase loyalty
I just received a email offer to upgrade my current Hilton Honors card to the Hilton Aspire card (no credit check). The only downside is the $550 yearly fee! I trying to weigh my options to do the upgrade or not.
It’s a hefty AF , but it pays for its self without an issue ! If you can handle to AF (and falls into your finances) and travel to hiltons , the Free night credit alone at something like a Conrad or Waldorf will cover almost two fold (some Waldorfs are 1200+). Think about it and see if it makes sense for you + diamond status (breakfast credits etc adds onto the effective fee as well!)
@Matt_Lopez I’m a casual Hilton traveler! I stay mostly at Hampton Inn’s, Home 2 and Tru Hotels. I’m currently under a Gold status promotion until March 2025.
I just applied for Honors. I have 2 Aspires and Hilton Business. I also applied P2 for Surpass and Honors. We are both in Hilton popup jail, but DoC links worked. I'm thinking to cancel Hilton Business and apply for Surpass via DoC NLL link. The target is to get 8 Aspires at the end. Other than that we have 1 BBP each. No other AMex cards are interesting. I cancelled OBC in order to get Honors.
You are my role model haha !!! 8 ASPIRES , that’s the dream right there. I’ve personally never been in pop jail , but I’ve heard all the stories. What time frame are you pursuing for the full 8 Aspire lineup ?
What a bad one !!! I’ve been lucky enough to not encounter it yet but I’m relatively early in my AMEX journey. I’ll be adding my aspires hopefully in the next year or so as I farm these SUBs , the current offer really got me angry as me and my player 2 missed it by a few weeks
Went through two levels of disappointment haha 1st - missing out on 2-Player stacked Free night credits 2nd - seeing the news the same night I finished the video , had to get creative and just smash that extra clip in

Thanks for the video. This might be my next card. I’m also in Miami!!
Glad to help, Just remember that the free night credit promo ends on 7/31 if you want to grab that specific offer!

Use DoC NLL links, they bypass POJ.
