Bottom Line
Hilton is not my current go to for hotels right now but, when I did have status with them, I enjoyed the benefits. In particular, we had some amazing experiences and upgrades at both the Hilton Seychelles and the Hilton Moorea. Both trips were “trips of a lifetime for us.” If you are looking for Hilton points and status, you should consider the benefits of these cards and especially the limited time offers valid through May 31st.

Would you supplement the report with a note about the Citi HHonors Reserve? And also include the annuals fees for the non-fee free cards? That would help me make a more informed decision. We are planning a Maldives honeymoon and still stuck between Conrad and PH. I am currently Silver w Hilton, having been Diamond and Gold for the last two years. It will be easy to make Gold again with Hilton and I think that all the credit card benefits may push us towards the Conrad.
Took the Amex Hilton upgrade to pick up the 100K points. Easy approval, immediate upgrade.
I don’t see where it mentions the Surpass card also gives free Gold Status but it does.
