How do i do this for 5 days stay at Hilton properties in San diego? Can I pay for one night with the Aspire card for the resort credit and 4 nights with points? Don't I receive one free night with this card? How do I claim this? I got the card about a month ago, I am thinking of using points, the card for resort credit and one night that comes free with the card. Thank
Also, what is " up to $250 credit"? If the room rate is $250 or more including tax, I will receive the full $250 back right?If it is $200 total charged, it is just $200?

Actually if you book 4 nights with points 5th night is free.

That's right, I can do 6 nights. 5 with points and 1 with the card for credit. What about the free one night that comes with the card? When do I get that and will it have expiry date and restrictions?
I got the card a month ago.

Regarding the $250 credit, hotel must be resort and listed here: hilton.com/resorts. Charge everything to room (food, activities, etc) and credit will be automatically reimbursed in 2-5 days. If not, then you must call between like 6-8 weeks and request manually. When I called after 2 weeks they refused and told me to call again 6-8weeks But you can always HUCA (hang up and call again) and diff agent may issue refund right away. Exact amount in folio is refunded. (upto $250)

Does anyone know whether a "deposit" charged by a US Hilton resort property as part of booking a flexible rate online for a future date would be charged by central advance reservations in TN or by the property itself? Trying to figure out whether that deposit would trigger the Aspire resort credit. Any DPs or knowledge appreciated. Thanks all.
5) I’m looking at an eligible hotel that charges a refundable one-night deposit for all bookings, can I get the resort credit for this?
YES. As long as the deposit is charged directly by an eligible hotel to your Aspire, it will trigger the credit

Keep in mind that the credit card night is only good on weekends. The fifth night free must be on a single consecutive booking. If your six nights start or end on a weekend, it's easy to combine them. If your six nights begin on a weeknight and end on a weeknight, it's not. You can't break the fifth night free award and insert a free credit card night in the middle.

Will stay on points but daily parking fees paid during check out with the Aspire will trigger the $250 credit? Looking for stay in San Diego. Looking for decent priced ones in San diego.

Thanks, but I actually had this question after reading the wiki. The answer in the wiki is caveated by saying that a US property deposit will trigger the credit as long as it is charged directly by the hotel. So I was thus looking for some DPs as to whether US property deposits were actually charged by the hotel directly (rather than through central advance reservations). But based on your response, it seems like I was being a bit too technical with the wiki's response on this one. Seems like you are saying that US property deposits are charged by the hotel directly. As long as nobody has any counter-DPs, then that works for me. Thanks again, all.

In any event, since the deposit is refundable you really don't have anything to lose. You can always just cancel later if for whatever reason the deposit isn't charged by the hotel or something else happens, etc.

just a data point here. I completed a stay at the Hilton Dead Sea Resort Jordan about 10 days ago. Room rate charges totaled a few $$ above $250. About 3-4 days after charge posting, my $250 resort credit posted.

Reset date
My Aspire account opening date is May 6. The date the first annual fee (and statement close) was May 24.
I contacted Amex CS to ask for the exact date my resort credit resets. The agent told me it's the date the AF posted (May 24). However, the terms clearly state it resets on the account opening date. I think the agent was just guessing.
Does anyone have data that supports the credit reset on the AF date?
