Next up, change to a more expensive flight to utilize the Hilton Aspire fee credit.
So I ended up modifying this flight, into another flight that is precisely $250.00 more than my original flight. So I just charged that to my Hilton Aspire today. Last year, multiple people have had success with flights costing EXACTLY $250.00 as additional collection. I will run the experiment for this year! I don't think anyone in 2023 has tried the exact $250.00 additional collection yet.
