He shared his disappointment that he receives a [food and beverage credit]( instead of complimentary breakfast at Hilton hotels in the U.S. that don’t provide [free breakfast for all guests](. As I read the email — which was from a frequent traveler who earns Diamond status by staying with Hilton at least 60 nights a year — I couldn’t help but think and respond that striving for a different [hotel elite status]( might be better for him. Similarly, a co-worker recently told me she was struggling to [redeem Capital One miles]( for more than 1 cent each. Based on her family’s travel preferences, she eventually determined a different [transferable currency]( — and hence a different [travel rewards card]( — would be better for her. Rewards programs and your travel needs both change over time. So, it’s a good idea to occasionally reconsider whether your [rewards cards]( and your preferred airline, hotel and car rental programs are still best for you.
