For many travelers, finding ways to redeem their hotel credit card’s free night certificates has been quite difficult over the past 15 months. Fortunately, virtually every hotel program has done the right thing by extending these certificates to a more reasonable redemption timeline.
Now Hilton Honors has extended these certificates once again in an effort to provide more flexibility to its members. So, if you’re a Hilton Honors credit cardholder, here are the details of the latest extension.
Hilton Honors Extends Free Night Certificates
Hilton Honors credit cardholders with free night certificates issued before May 1, 2020, that were set to expire August 31, 2021, are now valid until January 3, 2022.
Free night certificates that were issued after May 1, 2020, but before December 31, 2020, are valid for 24 months from their issue date. Certificates issued between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021, will expire on December 31, 2022. Further, Free Weekend Night Reward certificates can continue to be used any night of the week.
Plus, as a reminder, Hilton Honors extended members’ status through March 2022, and any points set to expire in 2020 won’t expire until December 31, 2021.
Hilton Honors Cards That Offer Free Night Certificates
Cardholders of the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card receive 1 free night certificate each year at their card renewal, plus the ability to receive 1 additional free night certificate after spending $60,000 on the card within a calendar year.
With the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card, you can earn a free weekend night reward after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases on your card in a calendar year.
Just like the Hilton Surpass card, The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card allows you to earn a free weekend night reward after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases on your card in a calendar year.
