I’ve written previously about how I’ve been able to extract a lot of value from the Hilton Honors program. I love the elite benefits that come for simply holding one of the Hilton Honors cards which have an annual fee. With the current sign-up bonuses, you can earn 130,000 Hilton Honors points and one week weekend night. These offers end tonight.
Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card
Currently you’ll earn 130,000 Hilton Honors points and 1 free weekend night reward after you spend $4,000 in the first 4 months of card membership. This sign-up bonus can be particularly useful if you’re looking to book a night at one of Hilton’s top tier properties. Top tier Hilton properties cost 95,000 points per night. With this sign-up bonus, you’ll get at least a couple of nights at a top tier Hilton Hotel like the Conrad Koh Samui.

- 12x Hilton Honors points per dollar spent at a hotel or resort in the Hilton Portfolio
- 6x Hilton Honors points per dollar spent at US Restaurants, US Supermarkets and US Gas Stations
- 3x Hilton Honors points per dollar spent on all other purchases
- Complimentary Gold Status (Free Breakfast, space-available room upgrades and other benefits) for holding the card and paying the $95 annual fee

The Pundit’s Mantra
Today is the last day for these increased sign-up bonuses. We’ve generally seen these bonuses hover around the 125,000 to 150,000 point mark. However, with this particular bonus, you can stretch the value of your points immensely. For example, if you redeem the points and free night certificate at the Conrad Koh Samui, you’ll get two free nights and still have 35,000 points left.
Also, by way of earning Gold status with Hilton, you’ll also get the 5th night free while booking with points. You can transfer membership rewards points to Hilton at a 1:2 ratio if you’re looking to top off our points in order to book a 5 night stay.
If you are looking to book a stay in the next few weeks, it would make sense to apply for one of these cards. If you’re looking for top tier Diamond status and have an upcoming resort stay, then you can apply for the Hilton Aspire card, which is offering a 150,000 points bonus after you spend $4,000 in the first 3 months.
