Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card
If you’re looking to get even more benefits out of your Hilton stays, then the Hilton Surpass card would be a much better option. Not only does it earn 12x points per $1 at Hilton hotels and 6x points per $1 at U.S. supermarkets, U.S. gas stations, and U.S. restaurants, but it also offers complimentary Hilton Gold status.
With that Gold status, you’ll receive complimentary room upgrades (up to executive level), an 80% bonus on points earned from stays, and a daily food and beverage credit or free continental breakfast.
Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
If you’re looking for a card that opens up your redemption options by earning transferable points, then there are few better options than the Chase Sapphire Preferred card.
It earns 5x points per $1 on travel purchased through Chase Ultimate Rewards, 3x points per $1 on dining, select streaming services, and online grocery purchases, and 2x points per $1 on all other travel purchases.
Beyond that, your points are worth 25% more when redeemed for travel through the Chase travel portal, or you can transfer them at a 1:1 rate to many great travel transfer partners.
