And since Hilton gives elites the fifth night free, you'd be basically getting two extra nights for $480. Of course, it might be less - since I'm sure you'll have some points left over from your Aspire sign up bonus. Anyway, just wanted to point that out in case you hadn't thought about it!
I did not think you could combine pts nights with cc free nights to get 5th night free. My understanding was you need 4x points nights in order to get 5th night free. Is there some loophole I am missing?
