Our Verdict
This’ll stack with any category bonuses as well which could make it a good deal for some people. Personally I think it’s too risky to manufactured spend with American Express these days and Hilton isn’t exactly the most valuable currency either. Still a good deal for those planning to spend $15,000 for the free night certificate or for people with a lot of natural spend on these cards anyway.
