How do Hilton credit card free night certificates work?

Hilton credit card free night certificates are good for a free weekend night stay in a double-occupancy room, including taxes, at nearly 6,000 Hilton properties. The Hilton Aspire, Hilton Surpass, and Hilton Business credit cards all give free night certificates. Certificates are valid for one year from the date they’re earned and can only be used for weekend stays. Normally, at least. To accommodate customers whose travel plans have been affected by COVID-19, Hilton credit card free night certificates earned March 11-April 30, 2020 are valid through August 31, 2021, and certificates issued May 1-December 31, 2020 are valid for 24 months from the date they’re issued. They can also be used on any weeknight.… read full answer

The criteria for earning free night certificates vary. The Aspire card, for example, gets you a free night certificate upon account opening and every year that the card is renewed. You’ll receive a second free night when spending $60,000 on the card in a calendar year. All eligible Hilton credit cards will award you at least one free night certificate after you spend a specific amount every year. You’ll receive an e-mail with your free night rewards number and booking instructions within 8-12 weeks after you qualify.

To redeem your Hilton credit card free night certificate, you’ll need to visit the Hilton website and search for Hilton hotels with “Standard Room Reward” listed in the results. You cannot redeem the free night certificate online, so once you’ve found an available room, you’ll need to call Hilton customer service at 1 (800) 446-6677 to apply the free night toward your stay.

Which Hilton credit card offers 2 free nights?

The Hilton credit cards with 2 free nights are the Hilton Honors Aspire card and the Hilton Honors Business card. The Hilton Aspire card awards a free night certificate every year the account is open – one upon opening the account, and another each year the card is renewed. Cardholders can earn yet another free night by spending $60,000 on the Aspire card during any calendar year.… read full answer

The 2 free nights benefit works a little differently for the Hilton Business card, as there’s no first free night upon account opening. To get the first free night, cardholders will need to spend $15,000 in a calendar year. The second free night requires an additional $45,000 in purchases ($60,000 total) in the same year.

Free night certificates are e-mailed to qualified cardholders as a redeemable rewards code within 8-14 weeks after becoming eligible. To redeem your free nights, call 1 (800) 446-6677 and mention the codes included in your rewards e-mails.
