Yesterday, I wrote about how one can maximize Hilton’s free night certificates. You can read the entire post here. Currently, you can earn free night certificates and points with these limited time offers from American Express. Today is the final day if if you’re looking to apply for these welcome bonuses.
Limited time offers end tonight
American Express is currently offering elevated welcome bonuses on all three of their consumer credit cards with Hilton.
Hilton Honors Card
With this offer on the Hilton Honors card, you’ll earn a welcome bonus of 70,000 points. In addition, you’ll also earn one free night certificate. You’ll earn the points and free night certificate once you spend $2,000 in the first 6 months of card membership. The card charges no annual fee. The minimum spend should be pretty easy to meet for most people as you only need to spend $333 per month.
Apply Now for the 70,000 points and 1 free night offer
Hilton Surpass Card
With this offer on the Hilton Surpass card, you’ll earn a welcome bonus of 130,000 points. In addition, you’ll also earn one free night certificate. You’ll earn the points and free night certificate once you spend $3,000 in the first 6 months of card membership. The card carries an annual fee of $150, but it’s offset by a $200 credit that you can earn each calendar year. The minimum spend should be pretty easy to meet for most people as you only need to spend $500 per month.

Hilton Aspire Card
With this offer on the Hilton Aspire card, you’ll earn a welcome bonus of 175,000 points. You’ll also earn one free night certificate. You’ll earn the points and free night certificate once you spend $6,000 in the first 6 months of card membership. The card carries an annual fee of $550. However, it’s offset by a up to $600 in credits that you can earn each calendar year. In addition, you also earn another free night certificate each year for simply renewing the card.

The Pundit’s Mantra
If you’re a Hilton road warrior like me who loves using points and certificates for booking aspirational stays, then I’d highly recommend that you go for the Hilton Aspire card. In case you’re slowly looking to dip your toes, then your best option is the Hilton Honors card with no annual fee. If you’re slowly in the process of ramping up your stays with Hilton, then the Hilton Surpass card may be a good option for you.
In my case, I’ve carried the Hilton Aspire card in my wallet since it was launched. I continue to stay loyal to Hilton for corporate and leisure stays. With the Aspire card, the benefits, annual credits and top tier Diamond status more than pays for the annual fee.
