Editor’s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.

From low-budget to ultraluxury, there’s a Hilton property for everyone. The global Hilton portfolio includes almost 25 brands and more than 7,500 hotels.

When it comes to cobranded credit cards, American Express offers Hilton travelers a variety of choices in that arena, too. There are four Amex Hilton credit cards — three personal cards and one business one. You’ll receive perks to make your next stay more rewarding and enjoyable.

All of these bonuses meet our criteria for a good time to apply. However, they aren’t the all-time highest bonuses we’ve seen on these cards.

Let’s look at the current elevated bonuses on these Hilton credit cards.

Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card

Here’s what to know about the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card.

THE POINTS GUY

Current welcome offer

Earn an elevated 165,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 in purchases within the first six months of card membership. Offer ends Jan. 8, 2025.

TPG’s September 2024 valuations peg Hilton points at 0.6 cents each, making the bonus points worth $990 — a solid value for a card with a $150 annual fee (see rates and fees). This is one of the highest welcome offers we have seen on this card.

Additional benefits

With this card, you’ll earn 12 points per dollar spent directly with a hotel or resort within the Hilton portfolio, 6 points per dollar at U.S. supermarkets, U.S. restaurants and U.S. gas stations, 4 points per dollar on U.S. online retail purchases, and 3 points per dollar on other eligible purchases. Terms apply.

The card comes with some nice perks, including a free night reward after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases each calendar year, up to $200 in statement credits each year (up to $50 each quarter) on eligible Hilton purchases, complimentary Hilton Gold status and a path to Hilton Diamond status through spending $40,000 in eligible purchases per calendar year and National Car Rental® Emerald Club Executive® status*. Enrollment is required for select benefits.

*Enrollment in the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Program is required

Hilton Honors American Express Card

Here’s what to know about the Hilton Honors American Express Card.

THE POINTS GUY

Current welcome offer

Earn an elevated 100,000 bonus points after spending $2,000 in purchases in the first six months of card membership. Offer ends Jan. 8, 2025.

The regular Hilton Amex card has no annual fee (see rates and fees), so unsurprisingly, you’ll earn fewer points with this welcome offer.

According to TPG’s September 2024 valuations, the bonus points are worth $600. That makes it among the highest offers we’ve seen on this card.

Additional benefits

With this card, you’ll earn 7 points per dollar spent directly with a hotel or resort within the Hilton portfolio, 5 points per dollar spent on eligible purchases on dining at U.S. restaurants, U.S. supermarkets and U.S. gas stations and 3 points per dollar on all other eligible purchases. Terms apply.

This entry-level card also offers automatic Hilton Honors Silver status (with an upgrade to Gold when you spend $20,000 on eligible purchases in a calendar year) and no foreign transaction fees (see rates and fees) — also a rarity for a card with no annual fee. Enrollment is required for select benefits.

Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card

Here’s what to know about the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire, Hilton’s top-tier credit card.

THE POINTS GUY

Current welcome offer

Earn an elevated 175,000 Hilton Honors bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases on the card within your first six months of card membership. Offer ends Jan. 8, 2025.

According to TPG’s September 2024 valuations, these 175,000 points are worth $1,050. This is one of the highest welcome offers we have seen on the card.

This card has a $550 annual fee.

Additional benefits

The Hilton Aspire Card is Hilton’s premium credit card, loaded with perks. You’ll enjoy automatic Hilton Honors Diamond status, which includes complimentary breakfast (or a daily food and beverage credit in the U.S.), bonus points and space-available room upgrades on each stay.

You also get up to $200 in annual statement credits on eligible flight purchases, up to $400 in annual statement credits for purchases made at Hilton portfolio hotels, and up to $199 in statement credits for a Clear Plus membership (subject to auto-renewal). Enrollment is required in advance for some benefits.

Here’s what to know about The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card.

THE POINTS GUY

Current welcome offer

Earn an elevated 175,000 bonus points after spending $8,000 on purchases in the first six months of card membership. Offer ends Jan. 8, 2025. This is one of the highest welcome offers we have seen on this card.

This bonus is worth $1,050 based on TPG’s September 2024 valuations — exceptional value for a card with a $195 annual fee (see rates and fees).

Additional benefits

With this card, you’ll earn 12 points per dollar spent directly with a hotel or resort within the Hilton portfolio, 5 points per dollar on the first $100,000 in purchases each calendar year, and 3 points per dollar on all other eligible purchases. Terms apply.

Bottom line

The points haul on these cards could lead to some amazing Hilton redemptions, including luxury stays at resorts like the Conrad Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa or ski-friendly destinations like the Hilton DoubleTree in Highline Vail.

Remember that Amex has a “one per lifetime” policy for earning welcome offers, but a pop-up window should let you know if you’re not eligible for a bonus before you submit your application. With these elevated welcome offers, now is a great time to apply if you want to add a Hilton card to your wallet.
