ADVICE

Stack Hilton Free Night Certificates

Do use Hilton free night certificates aggressively to unlock luxury stays at huge value.
Stack Amex Hilton cards, upgrades and promotions to collect multiple certificates for one trip.

ADVICE

Buy Hilton Points On Sale

Try buying Hilton points during sales because they often drop to ~0.5¢ each with bonuses.
Combine purchased points, transfers, or partner purchases to reach award totals while using fifth-night free on award stays.

ADVICE

Stack And Time Card Credits

Use multiple Hilton/Amex credits and time your stay across statement periods to maximize resort/quarterly credits.
Charge hotel F&B and spa to room early so credits post and reduce your out-of-pocket bill.
