Good uses of Hilton Aspire Annual Free Night Certificate

[Sandy VDH]

I am always looking for better than average uses of the FNC awards. I am liking the one I did today, but I am always looking for good suggestions going forward.

International does yield better opportunities. I used this years for 1 night at Inverlochy Castle for my summer visit to Scotland. https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/inviclx-inverlochy-castle/

Reward is equal to 110,000 HH points, cash rate would be 637 GBP or about 784 USD per night.

That completely covers the annual cost of the card. All other perks are just gravy now.

What good use have you found and want to share?

We have booked four nights in a 1 bedroom suite at the Embassy Suites Resort in Aruba for next month using 4 FNCs from our Aspire and Surpass cards. Those more than cover the cost of the card.

Used two Aspire FNCs last month to stay at the Waldorf Astoria in Orlando. Also ate for "free" at Bull & Bear using the $200 resort credits from the two cards (don't own HGVC so no MF to use them on). I just asked them to split the bill between the two Aspires when we checked out. Probably my favorite card.

We are using FNC for three nights at the Waldorf Astoria in Dana Point CA. The cash rate is $806 per night, or 95K points per night.

we used a FNC at Embassy Suites next to the Taylor Swift concert last year. cash rate: $1250.

For Aruba, they were about $700/night so those four nights would have been $2,800 plus we used the Delta companion ticket and ecredits... So that made the flight cheap.

3 nights at South Bank on Turks & Caicos coming up this year. Was able to get a 2 BR Boat House that would cost ~$1,800 per night.

We’ve stayed at the WA in Dana Point multiple times and have also used it at the Hotel del Coronado.

We looked at Turks but couldn't coordinate the Delta companion ticket

Stayed at the Conrad NYC last year, ~$670, have The Reach Key West reserved next month ~$850. Both were 95K HH pt values, before the recent devaluation.

Any WA or Conrad. International best.

My sister once used a FNC for the Times Square Hilton on NYE - cash rate $2500. This was almost a decade ago so even better then. She quickly decided she was happy to watch on TV in the future - it's kind of hell down there in person.
