SOME CARD INFO MAY BE OUTDATED

This page includes information about these cards, currently unavailable on NerdWallet. The information has been collected by NerdWallet and has not been provided or reviewed by the card issuer.

For a limited time, the Hilton Honors American Express Card and the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card are featuring new welcome offers. New applicants will be eligible for the following, respectively:
  • Hilton Honors American Express Card ($0 annual fee, see rates and fees): Earn 70,000 Bonus Points plus a Free Night Reward after you spend $2,000 in purchases on the Card in the first 6 months of Card Membership. Offer Ends 4/15/2026. Terms Apply. This new offer features fewer bonus points than the card’s previous offer. However, it includes a valuable free night reward, a perk that’s typically reserved for hotel cards that charge annual fees. 
  • Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card ($150 annual fee, see rates and fees): Earn 130,000 Bonus Points plus a Free Night Reward after you spend $3,000 in purchases on the Card in the first 6 months of Card Membership. Offer Ends 4/15/2026. Terms Apply. The card’s new offer features the same amount of points as its previous bonus, but in this case, too, the free night offer is new. The Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card notably does not typically offer a complimentary night reward benefit like similar hotel cards at its price point do.
The cards’ other benefits and terms remain the same. Here’s how the popular cards in the Hilton family compare.
