American Express Hilton Credit Card Sign Up Bonuses Announced [Application Links Now Live]

Update: All of the application links are now live:

• Hilton Aspire
• Hilton Ascend
• Hilton Business card
• No annual fee card

Original post: American Express has announced the sign up bonus on the new Hilton cards. They are as follows:

• Hilton Honors American Express Card (no annual fee card): 50,000 points after $1,000 in spend within the first three months
• Hilton Honors American Express Ascend Card: Up to 100,000 points, broken down as follows:
  • 75,000 points after $2,000 in spend within the first three months
  • An additional 25,000 points after you spend an additional $1,000 within the first six months
• Hilton Honors American Express Business Card: Up to 100,000 points, broken down as follows:
  • 75,000 points after $3,000 in spend within the first three months
  • An additional 25,000 points after you spend an additional $1,000 within the first six months
• Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card: 100,000 points after $4,000 in spend within the first three months. This also comes with a free weekend night certificate your first year and on card anniversary.

I think the sign up bonus on the Aspire is weak, I was expecting a free night offer of at least two nights if not three. The fact it has effectively a worse sign up bonus than the Ascend and business card is surprising, although the benefits are significant but you’d also expect that with the $450 annual fee. More to come.
