Hilton Honors and American Express offer some of the best credit cards for every type of traveler. These cards offer a suite of benefits, but perhaps the best perk is the ability to acquire a free reward night certificate each year with certain cards. Three of Hilton's credit cards — the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card and Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card— can get you these Hilton free night certificates either on your card anniversary, or by meeting a spending threshold each calendar year.

The certificates are the same in all cases, valid at nearly every Hilton property (with a handful of exclusions). If there's a standard room available, you can book it with a Hilton free night certificate.

Many of the best credit cards come with high annual fees that certainly aren't for everyone, and that's definitely the case with the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card . This is Hilton's most expensive (and rewarding) card, and it's geared toward loyal Hilton travelers who can make the most of its many generous benefits.

The easiest way to earn a Hilton free night certificate is with the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire. It currently offers a bonus of 175,000 Hilton Honors bonus points after you spend $6,000 in purchases on the card within your first six months of card membership (offer ends 7/31/2024), and has a $550 annual fee.

You'll receive a free reward night after you open the card, and another each year on your card anniversary. The certificate is deposited automatically into your Hilton Honors account, and you can also earn a second certificate after spending $60,000 in a calendar year.
