Citi's contract to issue Hilton co-branded cards ends in December 2017. Citi will sell most accounts to American Express. The criteria for determining which accounts are eligible to be sold are unpublished. Read Hilton FAQ: http://hiltonhonors3.hilton.com/en/e...-card-faq.html

"Weekend Night Certificates offer is not available if you have had any Citi®Hilton HHonorsTM card opened or closed in the past 24 months"."Weekend Night Certificates offer is not available if you have had a Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card account that was opened or closed in the past 24 months." (Language change to "any" dates back to August 2016.)
Some datapoints indicate that the certificates are emailed ~7 days after the statement in which the spend is met, but others datapoints indicate that it may take 1-2 additional statement cycles before they're actually sent.
The certificates expire 12 months from the date that they're emailed to you. Your stay must be completed on or before this expiration date.
Yes. Some people say they haven't been asked for them, but it's much better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.
No, you have to call the HHonors department to book them. Even regular Hilton reservations cannot book them, although they can transfer you to the right department.
Several people have reported successfully churning this card, and receiving the certificates for both cards. Closing one card before applying for another doesn't appear to be required.
You can still get as many as you want of the Citi Hilton 50k cards (except that CITI only allows two cards of any type every 60-65 days).all 50k card offers without 18 month language dead as of 7/5/15
This seems to be YMMV. Some people have reported not getting it until well after their AF payment is due, while others have reported getting it in time to cancel and have their AF refunded. More data points on this are needed.
Friday, Saturday & Sunday night, and I don't think there are any blackout nights (beyond the normal HHonors program rules). Here is the description from the Cert as well as the T&C's:

So she got 2 months out of 12 months of the AF refunded? I have not known the prorated refund can go into this far. I know the first 3 months into the new year always get prorated refund on the regular AA cards, as no one seems to cancel a fee card this close to next anniversary so there is no data point on that. Also the retention offer on AA card usually is pretty good, enough to offset the AF.

Received a letter offering me 4 bonus points per $ spent in certain categories through Mar 31:
Use your Citi® Hilton HHonors™ Reserve card to earn 4 HHonors Bonus Points per $1 spent on purchases you make at clothing stores, computer & electronics stores, toy stores and department stores.1 Earn up to 2,500 Points through 03/31/2016.
Pretty worthless imo with these categories. But thought others may want to request if these categories are meaningful to them

The annual fee for my Hilton Reserve card is coming up soon. After speaking with a rep a month ago and then reading this thread it sounds like my options are to:
- Wait 6-7 months after the AF in order to 1) apply for a new Reserve card (to get 2x free nights), and then 2) close this card (reset 18 mo)
- Reach 10k spend on this card (unlikely for me) for 1 free night, offsetting the AF
- Close this card before the AF (reset 18 mo)
- Close this card within a certain amount of time after the AF to have the fee refunded entirely, or potentially prorated (reset 18 mo)
- Downgrade this card to the no-fee version (reset 18 mo)
- Attempt a product change to the Doublecash (may not reset 18 mo on the Reserve product, uncertain of this)

I went with "date of application" and opened Reserve #2 - the agent read me the bonus terms and Citi overnighted me a copy of my acceptance letter 
I then cancelled Reserve #1 (they refunded my annual fee since I didn't receive proper notice of the annual fee). The agents were super sweet and really wanted to waive the fee so I could keep Reserve #1 open but their computer was only offering a few bad retention bonuses. Apparently a lot of the letters went out in December (mine had no expiration date to call them by)... so for those who are thinking of cancelling it might be worth asking Citi if they sent a letter regarding lack of notice -(to get the fee refunded you have to cancel card). My annual fee was billed over six months ago and they still refunded. 
As far as the approval letter it just states that the card (new one) has to be open when they issue the certificates, so I'm not expecting a problem with receiving my certs. (Will report back if that's the case.) For those who are wondering about this card, I highly recommend it. I was treated extremely well every time I used the card the past two and half years. (Awesome upgrades!)Well worth the $95 a year if you stay at Hilton even one or two times a year. I recently was upgraded to Diamond for a year (status match) but for those with no status- Hilton Gold is awesome! A little tip I think it helps to have a lot of Honors points in your account (pick up the Hilton Visa) -- the front desk automatically thinks you're one of their best customers!

I don't know what you're reading, but this is at the bottom "additional information" for the Reserve card landing page. And it's also in the wiki, which is the first place you should look before asking a question here.

I did study the wiki and the terms of the card before I posted and it was the wording that you bolded that had me concerned: Weekend Night Certificates offer is not available if you have had a Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card account that was opened or closed in the past 18 months. What I wanted to know and was hoping someone with knowledge would answer was whether or not I could cancel Reserve #1 immediately after being approved for Reserve #2 or if I should wait until the certificates were actually issued. Maybe I am reading into it, but to me the wording is a little ambiguous and Citi could turn around and not issue me the certificates since on the issue date I will have had an account closed within the past 18 months. The wiki speaks to the 18 months and it speaks to churning but no where does it say "you can cancel your first card immediately after approval of your second card" or "wait until the certificates are issued from your second card before you cancel your first one". I'm sure there are others who would like to know the answer so they can reset the 18 months as soon as possible. I'm hoping that you can cancel immediately after approval and if anyone did so and received the second bonus it would be great if you could let us know!

Citi sucks when it comes to fine print, because often times it doesn't match reality. I'm not sure if you need to wait till the certs post before canceling card #1, but I would just to be certain unless you get confirmation from someone else who has canceled card #1 and still received the cert.

IMHO this would be the worst option as it would not only reset the 18 month rule for the HHonors Reserve card but also likely reset the 18 month rule for the Citi Hilton HHonors Visa. Unless average account age is of great importance to your credit score, I'd steer clear of this one.
At this point I am uncertain if a product change qualifies as an account closure, thus resetting the 18 month churn clock. Perhaps someone with more experience can weigh in.

Hilton Reserve
I have had the citi hilton reserve for two years. I spent over $40K last year and currently sit at 210,000 HH points and diamond status. My annual fee is about to hit so I called to ask for a retention offer...they offered to lower my interest rate haha 
With the newish 18 month citi no churn language for my hilton card it states that you are not eligible for the two certs if you have opened or closed the reserve card in the previous 18 months. I opened my reserve card two years ago...I may just keep it open and apply again this year. That way, I have neither opened nor closed the account in previous 18 months haha
