My Take

In my opinion, this might be the best hotel credit card that exists right now.

You get top-tier Hilton Diamond status just by holding the card — the highest status Hilton offers — which is rare in the hotel card world.

You also receive a Free Night Reward every single year. Hilton free night certificates are my favorite because they’re uncapped. If there’s standard award availability, you can use them at some of Hilton’s nicest properties. Most people report their first free night shows up about 8–12 weeks after approval, so you don’t have to wait a full year for your first one.

When you stack the card’s 14X earning at Hilton with Diamond’s 100% bonus on base points, plus Hilton promotions, the earning power gets wild. You’ll see totals of up to 34 points per dollar on Hilton stays when you add it all up.
