    The information for the Hilton Honors American Express Card and Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card have been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets.  The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    Say Hello to the New AMEX Hilton Card Line-Up!

    These are the basic details to help you decide which card is best for your situation.  We already have a review of the AMEX Hilton Business card, and reviews for the other 3 cards are on their way soon!

    1.   Hilton Honors American Express Card

    Link:   Hilton Honors American Express Card

    The no-annual-fee Hilton Honors American Express card’s bonus hasn’t improved, but the card has.  You’ll still earn 50,000 Hilton points after spending $1,000 in purchases on the card within your first 3 months of card membership.

    You’ll also get:

    With No More Foreign Transaction Fees, You Can Use Your AMEX Hilton Card at the Hilton Berlin and Earn Extra Free Points

    I love that Hilton has removed foreign transaction fees from this card.  If you have any overseas travel coming up, you don’t have to be afraid to bring this along!

    2.   Hilton Honors American Express Ascend Card

    Link:   Hilton Honors American Express Ascend Card

    The welcome offer for the Hilton Honors American Express Ascend Card is 75,000 Hilton points after spending $2,000 or more in purchases with your new card within the first 3 months of account opening.  And another 25,000 Hilton points after you make an additional $1,000 in purchases with your new card within your first 6 months.

    The $95 annual fee is NOT waived the first year.  But card’s perks can easily offset the annual fee.

    If you are able to earn the free weekend night, you save hundreds at an expensive hotel.  And the 10 free Priority Pass lounge visits can give you escape from the noisy terminal, and help you avoid paying for expensive airport food.

    With the AMEX Hilton Ascend Card, You’ll Get 10 Free Priority Pass Lounge Visits a Year!

    If you currently have the Hilton Honors™ Surpass® Card from American Express, it will be converted to a Hilton Honors American Express Ascend Card.  And if you have or have had an AMEX Hilton Surpass card in the past, you will NOT be eligible for the bonus on the AMEX Hilton Ascend.

    3.   Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card

    Link:   Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card

    Hilton has entered the world of “premium” credit cards with the AMEX Hilton Aspire Card.  It has a hefty annual fee of $450 (NOT waived the first year), but comes with enough perks to make it worth the extra cost.

    You’ll earn 100,000 Hilton points after spending $4,000 in purchases on the card within your first 3 months of card membership.

    Every year you’ll also get 1 weekend night you can use at most Hilton locations!  And you’ll get an additional weekend night if you spend $60,000 on your card in a calendar year.  So you could end up with a weekend at the Conrad Bora Bora Nui, which costs $800+ per night!

    The weekend nights alone can make it worth paying the annual fee!

    This is a no-brainer card if you like staying with Hilton.  You’ll get $250 in airline incidental credits and $250 in statement credits at participating Hilton resorts every year!  Even after you pay the annual fee, you’re still saving $50 ($250 airline credit + $250 Hilton resort credit – $450 annual fee)!

    With the AMEX Hilton Aspire Card, You Can Get Up to $100 in Credits for Qualifying Charges, Like Spa Treatments, at Waldorf Astoria & Conrad Hotels for Each Stay of 2 or More Nights

    And you can get $100 in credits on qualify charges (room rates & fees do NOT qualify) for every stay of 2 or more nights at a Waldorf Astoria or Conrad hotel!  But you’ll need to book through the AMEX Hilton Aspire card website to verify you’re eligible for the credit.

    Automatic Diamond status means you’ll start earning 50% more Hilton points (100% bonus points starting in April) on your base rate right away!  And other perks like free premium internet and free breakfast can save you big on stays at expensive hotels.

    This card is great if you spend a lot on Hilton stays, because you’ll earn 14 Hilton points per $1 spent Hilton hotels or resorts, which is the highest bonus rate of any Hilton card!

    4.   Hilton Honors American Express Business Card

    Link:   My Review of the Hilton Honors American Express Business Card

    AMEX now offers a small business card, which is great news for small business owners trying to stay under the Chase “5/24” rule.

    With the AMEX Hilton Business Card, you’ll earn 75,000 Hilton points after spending $3,000 in purchases on the card within your first 3 months of card membership.  And another 25,000 Hilton points after you make an additional $1,000 in purchases with your new card within your first 6 months.

    The card comes with:

    There’s a $95 annual fee which is NOT waived the first year.

    Get Rewarded for Business Expenses, Like Shipping, With the New AMEX Hilton Business Card

    This could be a great card for business owners who travel frequently, because you’ll earn bonus points on select airfare and rental car expenses.  And you can earn up to 2 weekend nights, plus Hilton Diamond status, if you hit certain spending thresholds!

    With the automatic Gold status, you’ll be able to avoid paying out of pocket for hotel breakfast.  And the 10 free yearly Priority Pass lounge visits will make your airport layover more comfortable.

    Bottom Line

    AMEX has unveiled their new line-up of Hilton cards!  They’ve introduced 2 new cards, and updated 2 old ones.  Their refreshed portfolio includes:

    New ways to earn miles & points are always exciting!  So I’m ecstatic about these new AMEX Hilton cards.

    What do you think of the new cards?
