Three Stackable Hilton Promotions
The cards we feature here are from partners who compensate us when you are approved through our site, and this may impact how or where these products appear. We don’t cover all available credit cards, but our analysis, reviews, and opinions are entirely from our editorial team. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information.

If you have any Hilton stays coming up - especially 2-night weekend stays, you should know about the following three promotions:

1) As I wrote about earlier, you can earn 1,000 bonus points per night and 5,000 per weekend stay until March 31, 2012.

2) You can get another 1,000 points if you book your 2012 weekend stay through this link by January 31, 2012 (note: this is a pre-loaded rate, so make sure you aren't paying extra for the points). Also, the Facebook promo says its a 24-hour sale starting January 17, but the link says you just need to book by January 31.

3) Per Loyalty Traveler, if you double dip with airline miles you can get up to triple miles with up to three airlines:

"American AAdvantage = Double Miles.

Air Canada Aeroplan = Double Miles.

US Airways Dividend Miles = Triple Miles.

Delta = 2,012 miles with two night stay. Does not need to be a weekend stay, but will earn a lot of bonus points too if your stay is a weekend stay when combined with other HHonors bonus point promotions."

So if you've got Hilton stays coming up, especially weekend stays, make sure you maximize your promotions!

Why We Chose It

There’s a lot to love about the Amex Gold. It’s a fan favorite thanks to its fantastic bonus-earning rates at restaurants worldwide and at U.S. supermarkets. If you’re hitting the skies soon, you’ll also earn bonus Membership Rewards points on travel. Paired with up to $120 in Uber Cash annually (for U.S. Uber rides or Uber Eats orders, card must be added to Uber app and you can redeem with any Amex card), up to $120 in annual dining statement credits to be used with eligible partners, an up to $84 Dunkin’ credit each year at U.S. Dunkin Donuts and an up to $100 Resy credit annually, there’s no reason that foodies shouldn’t add the Amex Gold to their wallet. These benefits alone are worth more than $400, which offsets the $325 annual fee on the Amex Gold card. Enrollment is required for select benefits. (Partner offer)
