Pros
- You can find good deals on hotel bookings depending on your destination and travel dates.
- You can use fewer points on a five-night stay since Hilton and Mariott offer the fifth night free on five-night stays (terms apply).
- You could find additional perks and free stays to complement your points if you have hotel elite status.
Cons
- You may not get a great redemption ratio by transferring points to Amex hotel partners.
- There may be blackout dates or high prices in peak season that further decrease the value of your points.
- Transferring points from your Amex card to a hotel loyalty program can’t be reversed.
