Don’t forget, over the past few months, Rob and I have gotten cards yielding 250,000 points and miles. So I have been working on meeting a bunch of minimum spend requirements.
For this reason, I waited till today, the last possible day to apply for the American Express Hilton HHonors Surpass card. I really wanted it because of the 100,000 Hilton HHonors bonus point offer when you spend $3,000 in 3 months. The bonus is usually 60,000 bonus points. There is an annual fee of $75. (Worth it for 100,000 points!)
With the card you earn 12x points per $1 spent at a hotel or resort within the Hilton Portfolio, 5X points per $1 spent at restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations located in the US and 3X points per $1 for all other eligible purchases on your Card You also receive complimentary Hilton HHonors Gold status with the card.
After I spend the $3,000, I will likely only use the card at a Hilton Resort, unless I am trying to accumulate Hilton points for a specific stay. Now maybe with a starting pot of 100,000! points, I will try to plan a Hilton vacation!
