It’s easy to get behind or miss things in your email. I always start by scanning sender and subject to identify the uninteresting and deleting it outright.  I have learned to keep an eye out for certain combinations.

Hilton Honors takes great care of me.  They send messages almost daily, and sometimes it feel like more than one a day.  Deals and discounts on rates, how I can spend my points, but the ones I REALLY enjoy are the special offers like earning 13 PPD with Amazon.

If there is an offer to register for, I register.  Typically, it is a bonus point offer for upcoming stays.  Most of the time I don’t even remember the details of the offer. I just keep doing what I do.

I had a wonderful surprise this week from a recent trip to Atlanta.  I was blown away looking at the summary of my account activity.

That’s nearly 16,000 points for a two night stay at a Double Tree.  At half a cent per point, that’s $80 in value!  This does not include the 14 PPD that my Hilton Aspire Card earns!  Add that in, and the numbers go up to 21,600 an $108!!!  This is an incredible 54 Points per Dollar! Which is about a 27% return on that spend!

I can’t say enough how rewarding the American Express Hilton Aspire Card enhances my business travel.  The rate of point accumulation for my personal travel is staggering.
