Search and Use a Hilton Free Weekend Night Certificate (Citi Credit Card Perk)

Good afternoon everyone.  I recently redeemed my Hilton Free Weekend Night Certificate which I got for spending $10,000 on my Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card within a card member year.  This post will show you how to search for available award space and redeem your Free Weekend Night Certificate.

You should receive a similar email from Hilton roughly 4-6 weeks after your annual fee is billed to your Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card (assuming you met the $10,000 spending requirement).  The Free Weekend Night Certificate looks like this and is linked to your Hilton HHonors number.  If you accidentally delete or misplace this email, you should be able to call Hilton and they will be able to see your Free Weekend Night Certificate.  You must book travel and complete your stay between the issue date and expiration date.  There is no way to extend the Free Weekend Night Certificate even by 1 day.

Which Gift Cards are Sold at Home Depot & Whole Foods? (Photos of Gift Card Racks)

Good morning everyone, yesterday I wrote New AMEX Offers: Home Depot, Whole Foods, Fairway Market, and Hilton Garden Inn.  In that post, I recommended buying gift cards at various merchants to complete the AMEX Offers.  I knew Home Depot sold third party gift cards, but I wasn’t sure about the others.  Last night after work, I went hunting for gift cards at Home Depot.  I needed to buy $75 worth of gift cards to trigger the $15 statement credit ($15 back represents a 20% discount on the face value of the gift card).

Hotel Credit Card Free Night Certificate Comparison Table

Good morning everyone!  With the impending demise of the “old” US Bank Club Carlson Credit Card, I thought it would be a good idea to compare the “new” Club Carlson free night certificate with other free night certificates from other co-brand hotel credit cards.  Here is the table comparing Intercontinental, Hyatt, Marriott, Club Carlson, Hilton, Fairmont, and Starwood:
