I think physical cards are nice to have when traveling abroad.
Not Hilton, but recently I was at Le Meridien Bangkok (SPG) where I dined for Christmas and I was entitled to a discount on the bill being an SPG member... I whipped out the physical card and the staff knew what to do right away.
She didn't understand me at first when I inquired about the discount, but when I pulled out the card she got it.
