Best For...

For the frequent Hilton guest, this card offers a no cost way to earn 7X on Hilton stays and 5X on restaurant, grocery, and gas spending.

Review of the Hilton Honors™ Card from American Express

Even without paying an annual fee you can get travel, shopping and entertainment benefits and earn multiplied Hilton Honors™ points on Hilton (7X), restaurant (5X), grocery (5x), gas (5X), and other qualified (3X) purchases. For generous welcome offers and higher rewards rates, however, there are other Hilton Honors™ cards worth considering such as the Ascend or Aspire cards.

The Bottom Line

For the frequent Hilton guest, this card offers a no cost way to earn 7X on Hilton stays, but because points aren’t as valuable when transferred to airlines, its points are best used with Hilton.
