Best Hilton CC is sapphire reserve. Quickest way to get status is to spend $40k on a Hilton CC.
fair enough but 3x ur x 2c value = 6c
12 HH x .5 c value also 6c
Although I would agree that its easier to get higher values out of the UR and .5 is right around the high value of HH.
i have that. what do you mean? does it give status?
CSR doesn't give Hilton status. Only AMEX Platinum and Hilton Branded cards.
I have grappled with this a lot because I spend tons on hotels with my business meetings and I do end up putting everything at Hiltons on the Surpass because with the 12ppd and being careful about redemptions (getting close to .01 a point) I'm getting a 8-12% return. When I factor in points I earn from the hotels themselves, I figure hotel stays are earning me about a 30% rebate in points. If you aren't gonna try for aspirational rewards and just want the flexibility get the CSR but my Surpass pass has enabled me to go to the Conrad Maldives and the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem for Shavuot and all of this past Pesach (and they have nights open next Pesach)! I've booked the Waldorf Astoria Boca Beach club for 64k a night when rooms are $800+ a night and I'm booked into the Conrad Koh Samaui (status gets me free KOSHER breakfast) next winter so again it's not as flexible as the CSR but I have had some truly unbelievable experiences because of this card.
