Stack The Offer
While not the most lucrative we’ve ever seen, Rakuten’s shopping portal is currently offering 2.5% cashback on Hilton purchases. (Be on the lookout if this increases during Thanksgiving week.)
If you haven’t already signed up, Rakuten is an amazing way to earn cashback (or American Express Membership Rewards) for online shopping you’d be doing anyway. Just start at the portal, click through (in this case to Hilton), and make a purchase — and you’ll get cashback.
If you’re not already a member of Rakuten, I’d appreciate if you used my link to sign up. You’d receive a $10 referral bonus and you can set your cashback preference to Membership Rewards in settings.

What’s the best credit card to use?
If you’re looking for the best credit card to book your Hilton stay, use a card that gives you a points multiplier for the “travel” category like the Chase Sapphire Reserve (3x Ultimate Rewards points) or Amex Green Card (3x Membership Rewards points). This is in addition to the Hilton Honors points you’d earn as well.
Alternatively, a co-branded card like the Hilton Honors Surpass Card from American Express is a solid option too. The current sign up bonus on this card is a generous 125,000 Hilton Honors points after $2,000 in spend the first three months (see rates and fees), and comes with perks like the ability to earn Hilton Diamond status and a Weekend Night Reward after hitting certain spending thresholds.
