Not only doesn’t the Hilton Honors card not charge an annual fee (rates and fees), but it also offers automatic Hilton Silver status, and the opportunity to spend your way to Gold status by spending $20,000 on the card in a calendar year.

The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card

Welcome Offer: Earn 150,000 Bonus Points, plus a Free Night Reward, after spending a total of $4,000 in purchases on the Card in the first 3 months of Card Membership. The points are worth approximately $750 based on our valuations.

Like the Hilton Surpass card, Hilton Business Amex cardholders earn 12x points per $1 spent at Hilton hotels and resorts, but also earn 6x points per $1 on the following categories:

• U.S. gas stations
• Wireless telephone services purchases directly from U.S. service providers
• U.S. purchases for shipping
• U.S. restaurants
• Flights booked directly with airlines or with Amex Travel
• Car rentals booked directly from select car rental companies

The card also earns 3x on all other eligible purchases and offers automatic Hilton Gold status, 10 complimentary Priority Pass lounge visits, a free Weekend Night Reward certificate after you spend $15,000 on your card in a calendar year, plus a second free Weekend Night Reward certificate after spending $60,000 on your card in a calendar year.

A Bonus Worth 5 Nights at the Conrad Bali

The Conrad Bali is a luxury beachfront resort on Bali’s southern coast that offers stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Guests will find everything they need at the property, including 3 restaurants, a poolside bar, lagoon-style swimming pools, a spa, a gym, and over 1,100 feet of a beautiful beach.

While Hilton now uses variable award pricing, if you’re flexible with your travel dates, you might be able to score award nights for as low as 35,000 points per night, meaning the welcome bonus alone will get you 4 free nights at the property using your points, and thanks to your Hilton status from your new card you get your 5th night free on award stays. Plus, you’ll still have your Free Night Award certificate to use on a future trip.
