Below you will find hotel credit card offers sorted from best to worst based on an estimate of first year value.
Calculations
First year values are calculated as: estimated first year value minus estimated first year costs. First year value includes signup bonus points, free nights, and statement credits. First year costs include the first year annual fee and the opportunity cost of meeting minimum spend requirements.
Full details of how first year value is calculated can be found here: Credit card signup bonus estimation details.

[…] A reader named Brad reports that he logged into his Marriott account and found this offer: […]
After signing into to my Marriott rewards account, I received a targeted banner for the Marriott business version of the card for 100,000 Marriott points after $5k in spend over the first 3 months. Haven’t seen this offer posted anywhere else yet and thought I would give others a heads up.
Wow, that’s great! Do you have status with Marriott already? Would you mind emailing me a screenshot of the offer? frequentmiler at gmail dot com.
The Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve application page at https://www.citi.com/credit-cards/credit-card-details/citi.action?ID=hilton-hhonors-reserve-card does not have the usual language limiting the 2 weekend night bonus to prior card holders. However, that language does appear on the application page for the Citi Hilton HHonors card (75k points): “not available if you have had a Citi® Hilton HHonorsTM Visa Signature® Card account that was opened or closed in the past 24 months” Does anyone know if they really are honoring the 2 weekend night bonus to prior HHonors Reserve card holders who opened or closed it within 24 or 18 months?
Unfortunately, if you click on the link at the bottom of that offer page “2 Additional Information”, you’ll get to a page that includes the terms:
Weekend Night Certificates offer is not available if you have had a Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card account that was opened or closed in the past 24 months.
