Good point about the hotel credits with the Surpass. If one is easily able to stay at Hiltons once per quarter, the Surpass also becomes a "moneymaker.: I was just thinking of my own situation, knowing that I may not always visit Hiltons quarterly and don't want to bother getting Hilton gift cards that MAY be problematic redeeming in the future.
However, I easily utilize my resort credits twice per year, so it makes sense that I could probably use the Surpass hotel credit on the same stay, and I realistically stay at Hiltons at least 3 times per year, so I'd break even,
It's funny, I know Hilton points are normally only worth 0.5-0.7 cents per point, but the Conrad Tokyo is awesome and it's not unheard of to get 1 cent or more per point for awards at that property. If there were more Hiltons like that one, I would drop the Amex Gold card in a hot minute.....
