Our Verdict

This follows on from the increased sign up bonuses on the other Hilton co-branded credit cards:

• American Express Increases Sign Up Bonus To 80,000 Points On Hilton HHonors Surpass Card
• Citi Hilton HHonors Visa Signature Card Now 60,000 Point Bonus

The only Hilton card that doesn’t have an increased sign up bonus is the Citi Hilton Reserve (two free nights at any Hilton property) which in my opinion is the only one that is really worth signing up for. All of that being said 60,000 points is the highest sign up point bonus this card has had and there is no annual fee so if you want to top up on Hilton points then this isn’t too bad an option. Although keep in mind they also often offer 50,000 points + $50 statement credit, which I think is a better deal.

I’m giving this card a miss, I feel like Hilton is due for another devaluation to make their points even more worthless. Am I being too harsh? Let me know in the comments. As always this offer has been added to our list of the best hotel credit cards.
