Hilton Honors Aspire

Annual fee $550 · 14x at Hilton

Aspire's two dollar credits, an airline fee credit and a twice-a-year Hilton resort credit, add up to $400 a year against a $550 fee, so they do not fully cover the fee on their own. The card also carries an annual free-night reward with no listed dollar value here, which is where most Aspire holders make up the difference.

Fee break-even: 137.5%. Even redeeming every valued credit in full only covers 72.7% of the $550 fee; the rest of this card's case rests on the certificate and perks below.
