The free night certificate with the Hilton card is awesome! We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria in Cabo for one night for free-it was amazing! Got upgraded to a 3 bedroom suite (which was way bigger than we needed) worth >$4500/night. Huge value!
Hilton....for the win!!! We LOVE the Aspire. Staying at the Boulders resort this weekend outside of Phoenix, AZ. Usung FNC and 95K points for free weekend and resort credit for anything charged to the room. Incredible value!!!!!!!! I also have the Surpass and Honors white card. They've all done majic for our travels! Very well done comparison!
I have had both cards. Though I hate the restaurant credit on a hotel card, and do not place high value on PP, MBB is still the lesser evil. I have found Hilton Diamond in general of lesser value than Marriott Platinum, not to mention Marriott Titanium. In the US, Diamond status is practically worthless. Hilton points are practically worthless in the international space as well. I totally understand why they double the amount of points on their cards. Great review - thanks!
With Hilton Stay 5th night free and higher end properties and you will be getting 1 cent a point or higher with redemptions. ASPIRE is the best most powerful card offered by anyone for anything in its own eco system. This isn't debatable. MARRIOT dosnt have a card that rewards well at any level. The Brilliant should scale higher multipliers and actually lowers some multipliers vs other bonvoy cards.
I work for one of the major airlines in 🇺🇸 and I have been debating on which one of these cards to get. I get discounted rates at Marriott (if available) but I have a lot of Hilton resort stays coming up. I have been debating on which card to get.
@@gideonp9762 I hope the video helped with your decision. I have that Aspire but I have considered the MBB. Both are good depending on your travel habits. Thanks for the comment.
Hilton Aspire seems amazing. Would love to get it but sounds like I would need to start from the $0 annual fee Hilton card in case family language is added. Where do you rank the Ritz Carlton card compared to these two card?
Thanks for the comment. I like to Ritz card but I didn't include it because it really doesn't provide a useful status and therefore doesn't seem like a top card to me. I think your strategy of working your way through the Hilton cards is smart... they could add the family language any day.
I have the Hilton Aspire card, and the Chase BonVoy Ritz Carlton; I believe you didn’t do a thorough research since you did not include the Ritz Carlton.

@@RC-xx7hy Yes! We love it! We are using ours at the Conrad NYC. Thanks for the comment.
We have 5 Aspires and are currently on vacation in Hawaii as we speak. We love Hilton.

@@nubianpwr Thanks for the alternative perspective. I can see your point about the value of the statuses.

@@andernature I didn’t include the Ritz due to the substandard status with Marriott but perhaps it was a miss on my part. Thanks.
