Should I Consider Switching Hotels (While Vacationing with Kids) Just to Burn My Free Hilton Weekend Certificate?

May 29, 2018 By Leana 6 Comments

Few weeks ago, I’ve mentioned the improved sign-up offer on Amex Hilton Honors Ascend card. As most of you know, it now comes with free weekend certificate after your first renewal.
