Hilton Credit Cards Offering Increased Points Bonuses and Hilton Purchase Statement Credits
American Express and Hilton have been offering increased sign-up bonuses on their credit cards as of late.
And now they’re back with another sign-up incentive on a few of the Hilton credit cards that runs through July 6, 2022.
The latest bonus offers increased points sign-up bonuses, as well as statement credits for eligible Hilton purchases made in the first 12 months of card membership.
Here’s a quick overview of each Amex Hilton card and links to application pages. Links are Savings Beagle’s referral links for which we’ll receive a points bonus for each approved application. Thank you if you use our links to apply.
Hilton Honors Family of Cards
The Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card, the Hilton Honors American Express Card and the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card all have increased sign-up bonus offers available now through the first part of July.
And to spice up the sign-up bonuses, the base Hilton Honors card and the Surpass card are offering statement credits toward Hilton purchases made within the first 12 months of card membership.
Savings Beagle’s referral links are currently providing the same sign-up bonus as is publicly offered. Be sure to check the current sign-up bonus amounts against American Express’ publicly available amounts and go with the better deal.
Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card
(referral link providing Savings Beagle a points bonus for approved applications)
130,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points after spending $2,000 within the first 3 months from card approval.
Plus, earn up to $130 in statement credits on eligible purchases made on the card at any of the Hilton family hotels in the first 12 months of card membership.
Points Earning
- 12 Hilton Honors points per dollar spent at Hilton hotels and resorts
- 6 Hilton Honors points per dollar spent at U.S. restaurants and U.S. supermarkets
- 6 Hilton Honors points per dollar spent at U.S. gas stations
- 3 Hilton Honors points per dollar spent on all other purchases
A few of the card’s benefits include:
Complimentary Hilton Gold Status. Gold status provides free breakfast during your Hilton stays (some restrictions/exclusions), which is a really nice perk and a money-saver. Although, as a result of Covid, that’s been changed to a daily food and beverage credit based on the type/category of hotel at which you’re staying. Hopefully, the free breakfast perk will return, but I’m not holding my breath.
Priority Pass Select – 10 complimentary airport lounge visits each year.
Annual Fee: $95

Annual $250 Airline Fee Credit for incidental airline charges from your pre-selected airline.
Book a 2 night minimum stay at hiltonhonorsaspirecard.com and get up to $100 in credits for qualifying charges at participating Waldorf Astoria® Hotels & Resorts and Conrad® Hotels & Resorts.
Complimentary Priority Pass Select airline lounge membership.
Annual Fee: $450
All of these cards provide access to Amex Offers that can make an annual fee card more than worth the yearly charge and a no annual fee a really nice money-maker.
We do see these levels of sign-up bonuses occasionally throughout a typical year. Although, the addition of a statement credit for Hilton charges is unique, and an outright money-saver if you’re planning a Hilton stay in the next 12-months.
Keep in mind American Express’ once-in-a-lifetime bonus rule, though. If you’ve received a sign-up bonus for any of these cards in the past, you won’t receive the bonus again. Although, 7 years does seem to be the cut off point at which you may be able to get a sign-up bonus again.
Hilton Honors Business Card
If you have a business, or a “business,” you may want to look at the Hilton Honors Business Card as well.
It’s currently offering 130,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points after spending $3,000 in the first three months from card approval.
Plus, you can earn up to $130 in statement credits on eligible purchases made on the card at any of the Hilton family hotels in the first 12 months of card membership.
You can view its ongoing points earning structure – which is slightly different than the personal cards – and its benefits at the referral link below.
Annual Fee: $95
Hilton Honors Business Card

You don’t have to have a large business to get approved for business credit cards. Although, as we start seeing a slowing in the economy, American Express may be more strict with its approvals going forward.
