The Waldorf on a Hilton Dime

Would you rather stay at the Waldorf Astoria or the Hilton Garden Inn? It’s a tough choice, I know, which is why it took me about two seconds to book a weekend at the Waldorf for the exact amount of points it would have cost to stay at the HGI. While it’s easy to book reward stays at the hotels you are most familiar with, do some research beforehand – you may be (pleasantly) surprised to learn which hotels fall under the major chains’ umbrellas.

Check out all the places you can redeem your hotel points (and sign up for any rewards programs you’re missing), so you won’t miss out on any great reward steals. Safe travels!
