Hilton Honors

Earn 80,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points as a one-time welcome offer by spending $2,000 on purchases within your first 6 months of card membership. Points are deposited into your Hilton Honors account once you meet the spending threshold.

Earn 7 Hilton Honors points per dollar on purchases made directly with hotels and resorts in the Hilton portfolio. To qualify, book through Hilton's website, app, or directly with the property — bookings made through third-party sites like Expedia do not earn this rate.

Use your card at U.S. restaurants (including takeout and delivery), U.S. supermarkets, and U.S. gas stations to earn 5 Hilton Honors points per dollar. No registration is needed — the bonus rate applies automatically at eligible domestic merchants.

Any eligible purchase that doesn't fall into a higher bonus category earns 3 Hilton Honors points per dollar. This base rate applies automatically to all qualifying spending with no setup required.

Your card comes with automatic Hilton Honors Silver Elite status from the moment you're approved — no spending required to earn or keep it. Benefits include a 20% bonus on base points during paid stays, a fifth night free on award stays, elite rollover nights, and member-exclusive discounts.

Spend $20,000 on your card within a calendar year to unlock Hilton Honors Gold Elite status, which remains valid through the end of the following year. Gold status includes an 80% bonus on base points earned during stays, complimentary breakfast at select properties, and space-available room upgrades.

Cardmembers get access to ticket presales and exclusive events through Amex Experiences, including Broadway shows, concerts, and sporting events. Purchase tickets through the Amex Experiences portal or app using your card. Availability varies by event and location.
