Might be a good supplement for the properties not participating in the Amex offer.


Edit: This is almost always going to be better than the Amex offer.

Very nice offer. I have a stay Monday and I doubt I would have seen this in time. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the post. My wife is in an ES tonight for a soccer tournament and I have a few stays real soon too. Just signed up.

Starts Monday

mrredskin

good. the AMEX offers were very limited so I was gonna have to use my Citi, regardless

cfischer

wow, this makes the Amex offer look really lame. Time to for Amex to respond

So if you had a 2 night trip and the option to hop.. getting 2.5k points twice is better than 2x points for 2 nights.. right?

Plus you can an extra stay -- but at .005 cents per point...

worth a few clinks, but not much more than that.

Based on my math, it looks like almost a wash for a 2 night stay. Slightly better to hop for a cheaper room (say $150 or less) and slightly better to stay for a more expensive room. Looks like you are always better off staying for a 3 or 4 night stay.

What Amex offer is being referred to in this thread?

Great find, OP - THANKS!

We currently use the Citi Visa for personal use, I have a Surpass for biz Hilton stays, would also like to know what AMEX promo cfischer is referring to.

I read the T&C's carefully, did not notice any comments regarding award stays; we have a personal stay in early Feb, will use the Citi Visa during check-in for incidentals (parking), wonder if that too will earn the 2.5k bonus.

Thanks.. I think I will hop on the two night because we can get the second night for slightly cheaper if we go a bit out.

I wonder if this is just the normal Citi Visa HH card or whether it also applies to the Reserve Card. My guess is just the normal Citi Visa HH card, which is too bad because of the lower point earnings on the hotel bill (6 points/$ instead of 10 points/$). If I'm right, you have to do the math to figure out which is better, although it's going to be this promo except for really high folios.

You never know how Hilton's computers will process the promotion. Any Citi Visa may trigger it or any Visa at all may work. The HHonors website is notoriously inaccurate, so it may be worth it to register and see what happens.
