The Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card is American Express’ mid-tier Hilton card and it offers lots of great benefits for its $150 annual fee. Right now, you can earn 165,000 Hilton Honors points as a welcome bonus after you spend $3,000 in purchases in your first six months holding the card. But, that’s not all. Here are some other great benefits.
Easy Points Earning
The Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card earns Hilton Honors points at the following rates:
- 12x points for each $1 of eligible purchases charged on your Card directly with a hotel or resort within the Hilton portfolio.
- 6x points for each $1 of purchases on your Card at restaurants, at supermarkets, and gas stations in the United States.
- 4x points for each $1 on US online retail purchases.
- 3x points for all other eligible purchases on your card.
$200 Back on Hilton Purchases
Get up to $200 back each year on eligible Hilton purchases after you use your Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card. This is more than the $150 annual fee and makes this benefit alone worth getting the card.
Free Reward Night
Earn a Free Night Reward from Hilton Honors after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases on your Card in a calendar year.
Complimentary Status
Enjoy complimentary Hilton Honors ™ Gold Status with your Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card. Plus, when you spend $40,000 on eligible purchases on your Card in a calendar year, you can earn Hilton Honors™ Diamond Status through the end of the next calendar year.
National Car Rental Status
Enjoy complimentary National Car Rental® Emerald Club Executive® status. Enrollment in the complimentary Emerald Club® program is required. Terms apply.
No Foreign Transaction Fees
Enjoy international travel without additional fees on purchases made abroad.
Anthony’s Take: If you’re even an infrequent Hilton guest, this card makes sense for the huge welcome bonus and the host of benefits that more than make up the cost of the annual fee. Learn more.
