will we receive the 250 aspire resort credit for restaurant charges with free night
Hi,
If we book nights with weekend certificate or points, and use the apire card for check in. When eating at the restaurant of the resorts, we ask to charge directly to our rooms. Are we going to receive the resort credit?
The terms read:
"Eligible Hilton Resort purchases must be made directly with the participating Hilton Resort and charged to your Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card account for the benefit to apply. Incidental charges (including charges made at restaurants, spas, and other establishments within the hotel property) must be charged to your room and paid for with your Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card at checkout in order for them to be recognized as Hilton Resort purchases. "
It does not seem that free nights are excluded, as long as incidental charges are charged to rooms.
Any thoughts or data points?

I stayed at one resort property in September using my weekend certificate, and have just got my credit for the parking charge, room service, tips for activities, etc. The credit didn't post automatically, though, so I had to chat with Amex and ask the rep to do it manually. I think staying on a free night might be the reason of it not automatically posting.

Search is your friend. Tons of data points, anything charged to your room will trigger the credit...food, drinks, spa services, gift shop, transportation services, you name it.
