Updated at 12:40pm PT on 2/13: My Hilton account now shows the 2 Free Weekend Night Certificates in my account.
Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. I have a short post today on the Hilton Free Weekend Night Certificate. I used to have 2 Citi Hilton Honors Reserve Credit Cards and spent $10,000 on each credit card before the conversion to the American Express Hilton Ascend Credit Card. This morning, around 2am PT, I received 2 emails regarding my Free Weekend Night Certificates. These Free Weekend Night Certificates came earlier than I was expecting and did not mention anything about spending a combined $15,000 on the Citi Hilton Honors Reserve Credit Card and American Express Hilton Ascend Credit Card. Here is what the Free Weekend Night Certificates email looks like. You have to make a reservation before the expiration date listed in the email. I believe your reservation can be anytime after that though.
I just logged into my Hilton Honors account and found the Free Weekend Night Certificates transaction in my Points Activity section. As you can tell from the transaction description, the Free Weekend Night Certificates came from spending $10,000 on my Citi Hilton Honors Reserve Credit Cards.
At the bottom of the Free Weekend Night Certificate email, there are also a handful of Hilton properties that are excluded. Here is the complete list:

I have plans to use these 2 Free Weekend Night Certificates at the Hilton in Athens, Greece over the Summer, so these came just in time. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great day everyone!
Me Too!!! Also got my today, even thought requirement was met over a month ago. Probably got pushed at the same time for everyone.
Probably, but I am not complaining :)
I got my two certificates overnight as well. I met the spend requirement well over a month ago as well.
Nice, thanks for the data points. Do you have plans on where to redeem your free night certificates?
Question: My annual fee on the Ascent card (converted from the Citi Reserve) is coming up soon. I also have an Ascend converted from the Hilton Surpass (so two Ascends). If i cancel the 1st Ascend before the annual fee is due, with they claw back my award night certificate? I don’t need two Ascend cards.
Still sitting on the second Ascend because i’m due another night certificate from the sign-up last year (100K points sign-up + certificate on 1 yr anniversary)
Don’t close any AMEX Hilton Ascend CC until you receive the free weekend night certificate. After you get the certificate, then you can close or convert that CC.
