Our Verdict
Standard bonus is 60,000 points, but frequently at 80,000 points. This is the highest public bonus for the Surpass card I’ve ever seen, so if you’re in need of Hilton points it’s probably a good bet. Before applying for this card, make sure you familiarize yourself with how much these points are worth to you and your travel plans and also read our post on things you should know about American Express credit cards.
