 TITLE: How to Maximize Hotel Credit Cards CONTENT: Travel Statement Credits\n------------------------\nSome of the more premium hotel credit cards offer statement credits for a variety of purchases. The Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card is one of the most generous in this respect. Cardholders can enjoy up to $250 in statement credits each card membership year toward eligible purchase made directly with participating Hilton Resorts, plus up to another $250 in statement credits each calendar year for incidental fees such as checked baggage and in-flight refreshments on a qualifying airline that the cardholder designates. When they use their card to book a two-night minimum stay through the card's Hilton portal, they also get up to $100 in credits for qualifying charges at participating Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts and Conrad Hotels & Resorts. Terms apply.\nOthers, like the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card, reimburses cardholders for their Global Entry or TSA Precheck application fee via a statement credit of up to $100 once every four years, which can make getting through the airport a lot faster and easier.\nWhen looking for a hotel credit card, be sure to find one that offers at least some kind of annual statement credit that you can use to save money or time when traveling. If the card requires an annual fee, make sure to factor it in when calculating your potential rewards. END
