Aspire blows away the SPG card. I prefer SPG, so I’m bummed but the Aspire is worth it just for the few times I stay at Hiltons.
Aspire airline credit, at least on American is super easy to use. As are the airline credits on my other Premium Amex cards at least with American. Been getting gift cards for about 7 years.
yes that could change, but it hasn’t and I love them.
Aspire gives free night plus airline credits plus resort credit plus a point bonus worth at least one night anywhere (100k) points.
Assuming I wanted to stay at one of the resorts, and I do, that’s $550 plus the free night and bonus. Luxury SPG card is just the hotel credit, seems like less than half the value.
