The card got better for fewer people. People who travel a lot or are loyalists. But a lot of people had this card simply for the status and for the free night and it got worse for most of us.

As an Aspire cardholder, I’m looking forward to the changes because my spending varies. It will allow me to test it to see if it continues to fit my needs. I’m not one of those that immediately go negative when changes happen without testing it first. I always appreciate Sebby’s straightforward facts to help me assess and form my own opinion.

Hey Sebby, I always love your videos I've been watching for years now! Friendly suggestion that would help folks like me who keep multi-tasking while watching your videos: put a running list of features of each card as you are talking about them, and maybe the name of the card on the screen. Sometimes I switch away and feel like I have to scrub back in the video because I got lost and wasn't sure if you moved on to talking about a different card or what. Cheers!

I was going to get 2 Aspires like you, but I have a lesser tolerance for statement credits so after the change, Idefibitely going with just 1. Curious to know your thoughts! Thanks for your commentary on this news!

I do not mind losing priority pass at all. Not a fan of $200 split into 4 $50 credits for flights. $400 bi-annually may be okay but the real value regardless is Diamond status and the free night. If I can use at least $200 in resort credits and $50 airline I should still come out ahead. I just far prefer credits not broken up.

🏖️ I have some thoughts on the Surpass. Although I’m going to miss having Priority Pass, I have to say the card got more practical with the $200 Hilton credit. Since we mostly travel within the US and the main benefits of the card stayed intact, I’m keeping it. We generally prefer to stagger our vacations throughout the year anyway (taking one long trip and then waiting 12 months for the next one sucks) and since I’m from Florida, there’s no shortage of quick weekend getaways I can make to snap up the rest of those credits and have a nice time.

🏖Pleased by the new "midway point" on the aspire having a 30k reward night. Previously had been running two Hilton Business (6x shipping) also hitting the 15k on each was easier that the 60k needed on the Aspire...worked out with business staying untouched! (for now)

I am happy! Between my husband and I we have 1 Aspire and 3 Surpass accts. Our plan this year was earning FNC in multiple Surpass accts to use next year. So well have 4 total FNC coming to us. With all the extra resort credits ill be bringing all these cards with me on our trip next week to a Resort in Mexico. Going to have the front desk apply charges to each card to get all those credits. We travel 3x a year and sometimes 4. So these charges are Aok for us.

🏖️ I personally think any kind of couponing and breaking credits down to quarters is always a bad thing. The Aspire went from a “great if you travel at least twice per year” to “have to travel every quarter” for those who are obsessing with min/max. Every business/entrepreneur, by principle, just wouldn’t be happy with more restrictions along with price increase. I do agree with you it’s not that bad and for some people they can see the benefits, but in principle, it’s just not a great change. This becomes “the new norm” one which I’m not really liking at all and one which I hate to see trending.

🏖️ For the Surpass specifically, before these changes, I saw no reason for me to personally get it considering I have other cards giving me Priority Pass access already. While a lot of people may be mad about the Aspire changes, I think these changes actually made it into a card I want to apply for. Considering I don't have the Platinum right now, the Clear credit on the Aspire is actually a nice change. Great video as always man!

First off, is 0.8cpp for Hilton Points insanely aggressive? Seems like that might be good for the high end properties but not overall to deduce value and ROI? Second, does anyone do an analysis of whether it’s a keeper card for overall spend based on the free night and free nights based on spend? That is, do the free nights juice the return on spend appreciably to move this card up the hierarchy? Just curious.

🏖 I'm thinking about ways to optimize the Aspire credits without going on too many separate trips. If I'm reading the terms correctly, the semi-annual and quarterly credits go by transaction date. Flights seem to always be charged immediately. So with the flight credit, if you're booking separate legs for the same trip, you could book one on say, June 25 (to give some time to clear) and another on July 1, and they would count for separate quarters. It's been a while since I've been at a Hilton, but the last one I stayed at didn't charge my card until the day my stay was finished. So if you booked two Hilton stays on one trip, one stay ending June 25 and the other on July 1, they would count for both semi-annual credits? Does this sound like it would work, or am I missing anything? I don't think I'll base all my travel plans around this, but if it means saving $200 or more (instead of letting credits go to waste), it's worth considering the timing.

Thanks for the updates Sebby, personally I hate that they got rid of Priority pass on the Aspire but that gives me an incentive to finally get the Platinum. Its also a huge pain to use the $50 coupon credits as a person who doesn't travel every quarter its wasted credits and there is nothing cheap worth flying to from my city. Can we use the new credits now or do we need to wait until a specific date? I may have missed this but did the card design for the Aspire change? It's trivial but I wish the card was metal and even more so because its $550 AF now!

This couldn’t be a video stating the best thing for your buck since that can change, but maybe it could be the properties with the best amenities, best rooms, best food, etc. Maybe this can be a running series with all of the different hotel brands.

I have been waiting for your video. I got the Aspire card to take a month long trip to Europe in August. I went had fun but did not get the big thrill of being a diamond member. I only got an upgrade atter asking during the last two days of my trip, after about 14 days of stays. I dont think i spend enough to get the right value. I am gonna cancel it unless anyone has different suggestions. Based on the value i will get the Amex gold then Platinum unless Citi somehow releases there maybe new cards before the end of December. I did like the Aspire card for the ideal of what it could do, but the changes don't work for an avg person like me. I have struggled to use all the credits this first year. If i lived closer to a hilton resort this card would be worth it to keep. 🏖️

To me this sounds better. $200 per quarter in Hilton resort fits my family annual plan. I don’t care priority pass because chase side covers it better. Unsure if I can use the CLEAR credits for my parents. If works, that gives us additional savings. The only catch here is how would they categorize the airline spending. We do biz trips through concurs, not sure if those count. But overall, I’m happy with the new benefits. Good video. Thanks!

These changes for the Surpass is negative for me. I only got it because of the Priority Pass, which I haven't been able to use since lounges are always full. plus I already have the Venture X for Priority Pass. Probably will downgrade to a 2nd Hilton Honors card. If they kept the Hilton credits together rather than split it quarterly, then I may keep the card.

Surpass is a great card to have for gas and supermarket. It's very easy to meet that $15k spend requirement to get the free night.

Personally I'm super happy about the changes to the Aspire Card! I have a similar setup with 3X Aspire and 1X Bonvoy Brilliant and I think the increase to the $400 annual resort credit makes up for the annual fee and then some! While the $50 quarterly flight credit is a bit more niche, I think there'll be use cases that already have been working out. Priority Pass can always be supplemented with other end game cards like the Capital One Venture X!

So…what counts toward those $50 quarterly credits? I have the Apsire but am confused. Paying for baggage on flights won’t count anymore right?

AFAIK, anything. Flight itself, baggage, etc. Will update or do a blog post once we get more data points (i.e., do drinks count?)

Breaking up the credits is annoying but I think it’s still a keeper card. Seems like they’re trying to get people to do at least 2 stays per year instead of just 1 with the free night.

I could care less about car rental perks. I use Lyft which is connected to my Hilton Honors account. I found Priority Pass useful especially if a United Club wasn’t available.

If I buy something internationally, would it get 3x on everything else with the Hilton cards?

Just take a trip from around June 29th to July 2nd or so each year for the resort credit and use it all at once 🧠 💡
