Your next vacation is closer than you think with a $250 Hilton Resort credit.
Upon renewal of your Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, enjoy $250 in Hilton Resort Credits each year when you stay at a participating resort within the Hilton portfolio.‡
Unless the terms have been changed recently, you will definitely be eligible for the $250 resort credit when you open the card and also when you renew it the following years, by paying the annual fee. I got the card in January and used the $250 resort credit in March and my free weekend night in September. Your weekend night should arrive separately in 8-10 weeks.
When I renew the card in January of 2019, I should get a new resort credit and free weekend night.
I also checked:

The language validates that you should get the $250 resort credit every year.
With your Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, enjoy up to $250 in statement credits each year of Card Membership for eligible purchases at participating Hilton Resorts.‡
