This hobby has been such an emotional rollercoaster. Offers are constantly changing on credit cards and sometimes it’s hard to keep up. We will keep you updated on all things Hilton Credit Card Offers on this page. Be sure to bookmark to keep as a reference for when you are looking for your next Hilton card! Lets dig into all things Hilton.
Hilton Honors Points
Earning Hilton Honors points is as easy as ever. I’ve always been a huge fan of the Hilton Honors program and have traveled to many great hotels, including our stint in Japan in 2019 where we saved over $3,400 at hotels like the Hilton Conrad. Hilton points seem flashy with their high-value offers, but redemptions are also higher so don’t get tricked but the numbers as not all points are created equally. Hilton does offer three personal credit cards and one business credit card to choose from. With the four cards, American Express came out with elevated Hilton Honors Offers on three of the four cards, which I will detail below. You can have a personal and a business card. I’ve double dipped and have had a personal and business card with Hilton to maximize those Free Night Certificates.
