This is true, but it is at like 99% of places. We use our Hilton Amex for everything

but that gets tons of Hilton points, so, travel...so isn't what Spawn would need.

oh, and Hilton made it easy to hit Diamond this year, so I'm earning Hilton points in good numbers again - ty97 Aug 4, 13:00
Yeah for Spawn I'd find one of the 1.5% or 2% cash back cards if any of those are taken apps right now. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 12:58 4
- Eh, my Discover does 2%. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 12:59 3
  - There's definitely less places that take Discover than AmEx. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 4, 13:38
  - oh that's great -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 13:01 1
    - Yeah, that is their normal mode. Kinkos is about the only place I go that does not take it (and that is new). -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 13:02
How do you find the Hilton redemptions? I'm a big fan of Hyatt's program mostly because I can get rooms for 5k or 8k points which seems WAY less than - oblique Aug 4, 12:57 5
- So I get 3 Hilton Honors Bonus Points for each dollar of eligible purchases. I get 6X that for gas, grocery, and restaurants. 12x on hotel purchases. - JaxSean Aug 4, 13:14 2
  - ok. that's not bad. Figure 4.5 points per dollar average with a 30k average redemption. Comparable to 1 point per dollar and a 6.6k redemption. -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 13:18
  - you should go to a gas station and pump gas for, like, 50 people and get a free room!! -- nm - decline Aug 4, 13:16
- It kinda depends on earning vs redeeming rate when comparing chains - ty97 Aug 4, 13:03 1
  - True. I never seem to earn quickly with the other programs but I also may be spoiled with the Chase -> Hyatt transfer -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 13:11
