You can now get 80,000 Hilton points when you sign-up for the AMEX Hilton Honors Surpass card and spend $3,000 on purchases within the 1st 3 months. This card also includes:
- Free Hilton Gold Elite status (free breakfast and internet)
- Free Hilton Diamond status when you spend more than $40,000 in a calendar year
- 12 points for every $1 you spend at Hilton hotels
- 6 points per $1 you spend at US restaurants, supermarkets & gas stations
- 3 points per $1 you spend on everything else
- Terms & Conditions apply
The $75 annual fee is NOT waived the 1st year.
Is This a Good Deal?
This is the highest sign-up bonus I’ve ever seen with this card.
However, 80,000 Hilton points may not go very far! Especially if you enjoy staying at top-tier hotels.
But lower category hotels will stretch those points further!
At 12 points per $1 spent, the AMEX Hilton Honors Surpass card will get you the most points for paid Hilton stays. So if you stay at Hilton hotels frequently, this is a great card to have in you wallet.
That said, my favorite Hilton card is still the Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card. That’s because you get 2 free weekend nights at almost any Hilton hotel when you spend $2,500 on purchases within the 1st 4 months.
You also get Hilton Gold status with this card and you get another free weekend night when you spend $10,000 in a calendar year. The $95 annual fee is NOT waived.
Bottom Line
This is the last week to get 80,000 Hilton points when you spend $3,000 on purchases within the 1st 3 months on the American Express Hilton Honors Surpass card.
You also earn 12 points per dollar spent at Hilton hotels. So it’s the best card for folks who have a lot of paid Hilton stays.
I still prefer the Citi Hilton Reserve card, which gives you 2 free weekend nights when you complete the minimum spending requirements.
But if you’ve already received the sign-up bonus for this card, the AMEX Hilton Honors card is a good choice! Just don’t forget to apply by February 28, 2015!
