New Hilton credit card bonuses: Earn up to 200,000 bonus points for a limited time

If you’ve been dreaming of a luxury resort stay but can’t make the math work for your budget, these new Hilton card offers may interest you.

Now through Jan. 13, 2027, you can earn 200,000 bonus points with the biggest welcome offer or fewer points and a free night certificate. While the extra points are valuable, don’t sleep on Hilton Free Night Rewards — you can use them at thousands of luxury hotels worldwide, including many Small Luxury Hotels of the World locations.

Here’s what you need to know about these new Hilton Honors card bonuses.

These offers are available through Jan. 13, 2027, so you have time to decide whether they are right for you. However, if you want to turn your holiday shopping into hotel rewards, apply before that season gets into full swing.

Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card

If you’re looking to give your Hilton Honors account the biggest boost possible, the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card is what you’ll want. Its all-time high offer is worth 200,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 in purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. That’s 50,000 points higher than the standard offer for this card.

Don’t forget everything else the Hilton Aspire comes with, like a Free Night Reward during your first year and every year after you renew. Plus, you’ll get complimentary Hilton Honors Diamond status and have access to over $800 in credits every year for flights, expedited airport security and Hilton resorts.

Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card

The Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card is currently offering 130,000 bonus points and a Free Night Reward after spending $3,000 on eligible purchases on your Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card within your first six months of card membership.

If you’re not a staunch Hilton supporter, the Hilton Surpass card is likely a better fit than the Hilton Aspire because you don’t need to utilize as many Hilton perks to make it worthwhile. You’ll still get benefits such as Hilton Honors Gold status and up to $200 in Hilton credit every year (up to $50 in credit each quarter for purchases made directly at a Hilton property).

Hilton Honors American Express Card

The Hilton Honors American Express Card has an unusually interesting offer for a credit card with no annual fee (see rates and fees). You can earn 70,000 bonus points and a Free Night Reward after spending $2,000 on eligible purchases on your Hilton Honors American Express Card within your first six months of card membership.

This bonus isn’t as flexible as a larger offer with nearly double the points because the Free Night Reward expires after 12 months. However, as long as you have travel plans that the Free Night Rewards can fit into, the value you can receive is exceptionally high. You can redeem it for a standard room at nearly any Hilton property (these excluded locations are mostly timeshare properties).

Hilton Honors American Express Business Card

The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card currently offers 150,000 bonus points and a Free Night Reward after spending $8,000 on eligible purchases on your Hilton Honors American Express Business Card within your first six months of card membership.

This is a strong first-year offer, and the Hilton Business card also comes with Hilton Honors Gold status and up to $240 in Hilton credits every year (up to $60 in credits each quarter for purchases made directly at Hilton properties).

The Hilton Aspire’s all-time high offer speaks for itself. You’re unlikely to qualify for an Amex card’s welcome bonus if you’ve previously had the card or currently have it, so it makes sense to apply for American Express cards when the bonus is increased — and even better if it’s an all-time high offer. Don’t forget that although it’s not part of the welcome bonus, the Aspire comes with a Free Night Reward for your first year and every year after you renew the card.

Since all of the other Hilton cards include a Free Night Reward as part of the welcome bonus, you can think of them as providing an expensive weekend getaway. There’s no price cap on the room you book with your Free Night Reward, and Hilton points are typically valued at around 0.4 cents each. So you should be able to book a weekend stay worth around $560 to $1,200 with the other Hilton card offers that are worth 70,000 to 150,000 points. That’s assuming the night you book with points costs at least the same as the night you book with your Free Night Reward.
