Hilton Amex Card Limited Time Welcome Offers

American Express and Hilton have four co-branded credit cards. We’re currently seeing some fantastic limited time welcome offers on three of these cards. I wanted to recap the details in this post — if you’re eligible for any of these cards, I’d highly recommend applying.

Big Hilton Amex offers through April 5, 2023

Three of the Hilton Honors Amex cards have special welcome offers at the moment, which can help you earn Hilton Honors points that you can redeem toward unconfined hotel stays. These offers are all valid for applications through Wednesday, April 5, 2023, so you have a few increasingly weeks to apply.

Note that the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card (review) has the same spanking-new bonus as usual, and continues to be extremely lucrative.

Hilton Honors Amex Card: 100K points

The Hilton Honors American Express Card has no yearly fee (Rates & Fees), and has a limited time welcome offer of 100,000 Hilton Honors points without spending $2,000 within six months. Offer ends 04/05/2023.

Beyond the welcome offer, the Hilton Honors Amex Vellum features the pursuit perks in the long run:

  • 7x points for spending at Hilton hotels
  • Hilton Honors Silver status for as long as you have the card
  • Hilton Honors Gold status when you spend $20,000 on the vellum in a timetable year

Are you eligible for Hilton Honors Amex cards?

Anecdotally Hilton Honors Amex cards are pretty easy to be tried for:

  • Each of these cards is considered a separate product, so you’re eligible for the welcome offer on each card, within the typical “once in a lifetime” rule
  • The standard American Express card using rules apply, including that you’re often limited to having five Amex credit cards at a given point (this doesn’t include tuition cards and hybrid cards)
  • For those with spanking-new credit, I find Amex credit cards to be among the easiest to be tried for
  • If you are worried well-nigh Chase’s 5/24 rule, applying for the Hilton Honors American Express Merchantry Card won’t count as a remoter vellum toward that limit

Which Hilton Honors Amex offer is best?

If you’re trying to decide which of these offers makes the most sense, here are a few considerations:

Bottom line

Through April 5, 2023, co-branded American Express Hilton cards have limited time welcome offers that are among the weightier we’ve seen. These bonuses can help you uplift your Hilton Honors points balance, and weightier of all, you’re potentially eligible for multiple of these cards.

If you’re looking for a no yearly fee card, then the Hilton Honors American Express Card is for you. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a vellum with stronger perks and an plane largest bonus, I recommend the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card or Hilton Honors American Express Merchantry Card.

Do you plan on picking up a Hilton Honors Amex with these improved bonuses?
