The Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve: Earn Two Free Nights and Gold Status

I wrote a post earlier about why I don’t actively go after Hilton status.  But there’s another reason not too–which gets into my final credit card application, the Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card.

The Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card offers a signup bonus of two free nights (after $2,500 spend), which is nice, but I applied for the Hilton Gold status.  I will be losing mine from shifting my loyalty elsewhere, and a fee of $95 a year isn’t too bad to have a second tier elite status.

Why would I want this even thCiti Hilton HHonors, hilton city card, hilton visaough I’m moving my stays elsewhere?  First, in traveling for work, I don’t always have a choice of where I stay.  Sometimes events are booked at specific hotels, and sometimes only a few hotels are available.

For a handful of stays a year, it is really worth it to go for the credit card and the status. 

(*I don’t get any benefit to you applying to this card, and I suggest you only do it if you find benefit to doing so.  I am just telling you what I’ve applied to in my specific situation)
