Hilton Honors American Express Announces New Limited-Time Offers

UPDATE: Some or all of the offers below have expired

Beginning yesterday Hilton Honors American Express Ascend Card will once again be known as the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card. Not sure what happened with this card because only recently it changed from Surpass to Ascend, and now it’s changing back to Surpass. Anyway!

In celebration of the newly renamed Surpass Card, American Express is introducing three generous new welcome offers across the Hilton Honors American Express Card portfolio, available through August 28, 2019.

Bottom Line:

These are amazing offers on the American Express Hilton Honors cobranded credit cards. 90,000 bonus points from a no annual fee card is awesome. What’s more awesome is the bonus on the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card and the Hilton Honors American Express Business Card. On top of the bonus points, you’ll also earn a free weekend night certificate that can be redeemed at high end hotels. So you’re potentially earning twice as many bonus points since you can redeem the free night award at hotels that cost more than 100,000 points per night.

If you haven’t opened any of these Hilton Cards, now is a good time. Remember, you can only earn the welcome bonus on American Express Cards once per lifetime; so it’s always a good idea to apply when the welcome bonus is high.
