People in the US have no idea how good they have it when it comes to credit card benefits!
It's all relative to each person. 14x points in my own value equates to about 3.5% - 5% return on that card. Others will crazily say 15%. IMHO, Hilton points are realistically valued atm between $0.0025 to a max of $0.0035 (the higher being in most cases what you would normally agree to the value of what you think the room is really worth in cash). Blogs like to push this 3 to 4x more than what I perceive for dramatic intent. For me 1/2 cent value per point has been out the window since 2017. There is a better bet IMO, in getting comped drinks/dishes/upgrades/taxi rides based on loyalty in these cases, particularly with properties under update or trying to make a name for themselves due to whatever changes or inadequacies they've recently had.
