There’s a pretty long list of eligible Hilton cards including a few cards that I did not even know existed. Maybe some of you more “seasoned” credit card folks who have been in the game for a long time will recognize some of the cards below.
Hilton Honors Credit Cards include:
- Hilton Honors American Express Card
- Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card
- Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card
- Hilton Honors American Express Business Card

Value potential
Let’s say that you stayed at a Hilton hotel for four nights at $100 per night and that you used the Hilton Aspire to book the hotel. Because you would be using an American Express Hilton Honors Card, you would be eligible for the triple bonus rate.
You would earn the following rates:
- 4,000 base points
- 4,000 Diamond elite bonus points
- 8,000 “Power Up Your Points” bonus points
- 5,600 Aspire bonus points
That is a total of 21,600 Hilton Honors points. At a WalletFlo valuation of .52 cents per point, that’s $112.32 in value. For $400 in spend that is 54X (approximately 28% back) which is a nice stack.
There are also a lot of Hilton Amex Offers you can stack with your savings right now. Check out WalletFlo to see all of the different types of saving opportunities!
Final word
Overall, this is a very straightforward promotion offering some pretty lucrative savings. The only drawback is that you have to use a Hilton card to get the most points which some people may not be able or willing to do. Be sure to register right now so that you don’t forget later on.
