The Compound Verdict
If your business puts you in Hilton beds, the quarterly credits and Gold status carry the fee on their own. The 5x catch-all earn on the first $100k a year is the quiet star here, and $40k of spend buys Diamond status. The current 150,000 point plus free night offer runs through January 13, 2027.
