Yes. We talked about that last episode, right? It was. So go back and listen to that if you didn't hear it already. Cash rates were close to $1,000 per night. So that free night reward covers standard rooms, which was still a super good deal. But here's where it gets wild. Because I have this card with automatic diamond status, then you're eligible for room upgrades.

So I technically booked like the standard room, which was still absurdly nice. But then from there, they upgraded me to a full suite, had a private pool overlooking the ocean. Unbelievable.

That is why I would say hotel elite status can be worth it to get this unbelievable experience.

Good guess. So you have that card too. So that was an easy, obvious guess. We are talking about the OG Premium card. The Amex Platinum card has a $695 annual fee. So I just want to spell this out. It is not a card for everyone, but if it is a card for you, know that it comes with lots of fancy perks. like lounge access.

Yeah, especially with Hilton. So I have Hilton diamond status. So I guess it just like supersedes that I also have Hilton gold status to the other card. But even if you just have Hilton gold status, because you don't want to have two super high annual fee credit cards, I think Hilton gold status is super solid.

It gives you still options for room upgrades, kind of like airlines, a priority goes to the diamond people first, but often you can still get it with gold. And then you also get that daily food and beverage credit at most properties. And you know, I love that.

Exactly. I love free food. And what I really like about the Hilton Food and Beverage Credit, it's awesome because it's not tied to just breakfast. You can use it at any time of day.

Me neither. Although I will have to say there was a time I was at the Art Hotel Denver. It's part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. I didn't even have time to do dinner. So I was like, whatever, I'll just spend it on the breakfast, get some free food. And I, to this day, I'm still dreaming about the hash brown casserole. It's beautiful.
