American Express Hilton Increased Bonuses (Up To 175,000 Points)

The Offers

Direct link to offer

  • American Express has a number of increased offers currently on the Hilton cards:
    • Hilton Honors Card – Earn a Free Night Reward + 70,000 Bonus Points
    • Hilton Honors Surpass® Card – Earn a Free Night Reward + 130,000 Bonus Points
    • Hilton Honors Aspire Card – Earn 175,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points (this also comes with a free night certificate as standard)
    • Hilton Honors Business Card – Earn 175,000 Bonus Points

Our Verdict

I think the no annual fee and Surpass are competitive/same as previous all time highs and Aspire is just 5,000 points off the all time high. With Hilton I’d make sure you have a short to medium term use for the points and free night certificate, otherwise just wait for a better offer to return. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

  • Aspire comes with free night at signup or just after 1 year anniversary? Had Aspire few years back, if there is no lifetime language i'd bite otherwise Surpass perhaps since it has a FNC with signup

  • Question on the Free night - since it arrives into your account 6-12 weeks after you open the card, does it expire when you open or the date it’s issued to you?

  • What exactly is 70,000 points worth in $$?

    Is that enough for a week in a mid-tier hotel in a mid-tier city?

  • Are these Hilton amex cards better than having cap1 venture and earn miles with them? I mean both have spending requirement and provide points for vacations (flight or hotel). it is kind of hard to do both for me.

    • Apples and Oranges. Cap 1 points can be transferred to different partners and can be worth a lot. These Hilton points are for Hilton. Hilton points are worth .5 points (arguably more at some places).

  • I always see people saying they get value out of Hilton points but it just isn't worth it for me. There are almost always better options for the spend/time/effort. If they started offering 500k bonuses maybe.

    • You need to hit their CCs hard, be in 2 player mode, and redeem for aspirational stays. I've gotten tremendous value from Hilton over thee years but you need to commit to them and can't be using them on cheap hotels. The Aspire FNC (and benefits), 5th night free, and $15k Surpass FNC make it worth it

  • Hilton, Marriott, Amex, all these FREAKIN' companies should DOUBLE their sign-up bonuses because these greedy motherf--(shhutyomouth!) cannot help themselves with the gahdam devaluations. Where's our 250K or 400K SOB??

    • THEY'RE the greedy ones, yet you're all pissy over..what? "Give me, five me, give me..." Lol

  • Only the aspire card is worth applying but only IF it has zero annual fee. The $550 on it makes the card worth -$200 meaning you wasted $200 if you apply and get approved

    • Have you look at Marriott Brilliant card?? Hilton Aspire is pretty brilliant compare to Marriott Brilliant ass.

    • Tim, even as cynical as I've become, I still like the Aspire (as-is) so long as you use the anniversary free night each year for something that costs more than the annual fee, it's at least breakeven. And the benefits of Diamond outweigh the rest. Plus, $50/quarter United Travel Bank (there's $200/year), $400 in semi-annual resort credits (more difficult to use, but if you do, then it's for sure a money maker). I still like the card. It's a 'keeper' to me.
