Hilton Aspire Card: Is it worth it?
So in 2022, I decided to do a trial run of the Hilton Aspire card ($450 fee per yr) to see if the value would be worth it to me. Here's what I used it for: 1 upgrade at a DoubleTree in Breckenridge (though they only had an available upgrade 1 out of the 3 nights we stayed) & we maybe only used 1 day's credit for f&b on bottled water ($5.17). 1 airport lounge visit for 2 in Cancun (for a total of 20 minutes, so 1 drink each, no snacks, Value = $35 x 2 = $70) Stayed at Hilton Home2Suites in Orlando, but no upgrades available, free bfast already included, no f&b credit. 1 airport lounge visit for 2 in Orlando, full bfast was had by both. (Value = $47.93 x 2 = $95.86) 1 airport lounge visit for 2 in Cleveland, 1 drink each, food was no longer being served due to lounge closing time approaching. (Value = $50 x 2 = $100) Stayed at DoubleTree in Tampa, bfast credit only covered 1 person, and we didn't think it was a worthwhile meal to pay the outlandish price...
