While Hilton has devalued it's award chart - the Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card still let's you choose any Hilton hotel for the free two nights. An obvious choice is one of the Hilton resorts in the Maldives which often publishes rates of $1,000/night. This is a great value use for your free night certificates.

If you are a heavy spender $10,000 should be nothing and a free night at any Hilton can replace a $1,000 nightly rate. For each dollar spend at Hilton resorts you will earn 10 Hilton Honors points. For all other purchases it will be 3 points per dollar spend. $1,667 spend at a local supermarket will get you a free night at Hilton category 1 hotels.
