Each quarter offers up to $ 50 in credit credits, while the business offers up to $ 60 in the credit in quarterly (up to $ $ 200 and $ 240 with $ 240 and the Hilton Honors business with each calendar year, respectively, with a property in Hilton Portfolio respectively).

Official use for credit

Terms and conditions for all three cards means that the only purchase triggering credit, staying in a hotel, is the rates and fees of the room made in your room when staying in a hotel.

This means that you may be convinced that you will receive credit:

• Booking is made directly through the Hilton website or app (but through third travel agencies such as third-party channels or Chase Travel ℠,
• Casual purchase in the room including purchase of food, room service and spa treatment.

Uses inductable for credit

We have received data points that the following purchases have also triggered statement credit, even when you are not living in a hotel:

• Purchase food in a restaurant in a hilton property
• Gift store shopping in a Hilton Property
• Hilton online gift card Procurement

Of course, your mileage depends on how the merchant or personal property codes your purchase. However, it hopes that you can maximize your credit, even if you do not stay in Hilton property every quarter.

For example, Clint hendersonThe chief spokesperson of the TPG went on a visit to Montreal. He was not living in Hampton Inn by Hilton Montreal Downtown, but popped up to a quick bite, and his purchase triggered the credit two days later.

In 2024, I bought Hilton Gift Card online every quarter, which triggers credit on my Hilton Business Card every time.

However, these have been “out of stock” since the beginning of the year. Many passengers have also expressed disappointment of how difficult it is to capitalize on them on properties. Therefore, if (and when) they become available to buy again, I would not advise them to buy.

If you are currently sitting on a pile of Hilton gift card, then here are How to use step by step instructionsI recently used him successfully in a Hilton property in Brazil; While it was relatively free from friction, this process took 20 minutes.

My favorite hotel card, Hilton Honors American Express Aspire CardThe character made directly with or through an airline provides a quarterly credit up to $ 50 on flying purchase amextravel.com (Details up to $ 200 in detail credits in each calendar year).

The information for the Hilton Aspire Card is collected independently by the Points Gai. The card details on this page or the card have not been provided by the issuer.

Official use for credit

As you can expect, the airline tickets should trigger credit, whether directly with the airline or through the AIMEX journey.

However, it’s out of the card Others who provide better travel safety If something goes wrong, such as your flight is delayed or canceled. So, you do not want to use this card to purchase plane fare.

For example, I book using all my flights Chase Neelam Reserve® (Look Rates and fees) Because it provides some best security of any card.

Uses inductable for credit

We have received data points that the following purchases have also triggered the statement credit:

• Award tax and fee
• Seat upgrade
• United Travalabank Reloades

Nick evewenA senior editorial director, in TPG, received credit (after a week) for seat upgrade at delta comfort+.

Again, your mileage depends on how the individual airline codes your purchase.

By $ 199 Clear plus Statement Credit is available each calendar year.

It is easy to use: you can cover your membership or a loved one, as the credit will be triggered regardless of the name on the membership.

In these years, I have clearly found that there is rapid disappointment to use long lines and repetitive identity. But given that a membership is essentially “free” with the statement credit of this card, it is worth keeping active. Enrollment requires, and the conditions are applied.

Finally, a $ 200 is biennial Hilton resort statement credit Each six months (each calendar to use up to $ 400 in the year) is to be used. This credit can be used only at around 320 Hilton resorts Worldwide, including all-top, beaches, golf, luxury and spa resorts.

I successfully used credit to partially cover two-night stay Hilton Vallarta Rivera All-Inclusive Resort Puerto Vallarta, in Mexico, in the first half of 2024.

Then, in December 2024, I booked a flexible rate at a participating resort in Porto, Portugal to stay in June 2025. I asked the property to deposit $ 200 for my booking that month (December), thus successfully triggered my credit for the second half of 2024.

During my stay on property in June, I used credit for the first half of this year, so that a total of $ 400 could be stacked in credits for this booking.

Then, I will try to live in another participating property in the second half of this year; If it does not work with my travel plans, I will book for the first half of 2026 and ask the property to deposit $ 200 for some time in the second half of this year.

Hilton Honors cross And Hilton Honors Business Cardamemarbers do not need to stay overnight to use their credits – food or shopping in a Hilton property may be sufficient.

For Aspire Cardamemarbers, the easiest way to use flight credit is to re -load your United Travalabank balance. You can also trigger it with seat upgrade or award ticket taxes. For resort credit, ensure that your resort remains strategically, as advance deposits can activate it.

Since the results depend on how the purchase is coded, first try a small transaction and wait a few days to confirm the credit before spending more.
