Unlocking Value: Hilton Business Card Review
Interested in unlocking some seriously delightful perks? Apply now for the Hilton Honors American Express Business Card.
Now, hotel credit cards—yes, those elusive little treasures—are often overlooked for some strange reason. But let me drop this little nugget of wisdom: they possess welcome bonuses and perks that are the very stuff of legend. Take the Hilton Business Card, for instance. It’s the only business card Hilton rolls out to the world, and trust me, it’s a prime example of why hotel credit cards deserve way more attention.
Sure, you could dive into a full-fledged review of the Hilton Business Card elsewhere, but right here, I’m going to whisk you through nine dazzling reasons this $195-a-year friend is worth your attention (check Rates & Fees for the nitty-gritty). And remember, no particular order here, folks…
175,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points!
Mark your calendars until April 29, 2025! The Hilton Business Card is dishing out a limited-time welcome offer—175,000 Hilton Honors points just waiting to land in your account. All you’ve got to do is spend $8,000 within those first six months. How much are those points worth? Glad you asked! In my world, they stand tall at around $875. That’s a pretty sweet welcome if I do say so.
Keep Your Personal Credit Squeaky Clean
Worried about your personal credit? Fret not! As long as you keep your Hilton Business Card account in good standing, it doesn’t report to your personal credit. So, if you’re eyeing other cards, like Chase’s 5/24—or just want to keep your options open—this card’s got your back.
An Honorable Mention: Hilton Honors Gold Status
Perchance the juiciest perk here is the hotel elite status on offer. With the Hilton Business Card, you snag Hilton Honors Gold status. Yes, it’s the crème de la crème of mid-tier statuses if I say so myself. We’re talking free breakfast, daily food & beverage credits, lounge access, bonus points, upgraded rooms—the works!
Want More? Go for Diamond Status!
Fancy the idea of Hilton Honors Diamond status without setting foot in a bazillion hotels? Hit that $40,000 spend in a year with your card, and you’re in! True, it’s no cake walk, but for those who reach it, the perks do ramp up nicely—more bonus points, fancier room upgrades, and lounge access at a wider array of hotels. Tempting, isn’t it?
Bank On $240 in Hilton Credits a Year
Now, here’s a little perk that makes that annual fee shrink: $240 in Hilton credits. Spend $60 at Hilton properties each quarter, and voilà, you’re looking at $240 back in credits annually. Simple and effective. Almost like having your cake and eating it too, at a Hilton.
Rack Up 12x Points on Hilton Stays
Speaking of spending, how about earning 12x points at Hilton-family properties? Valued at 0.5 cents each, that’s akin to a lavish 6% return on your Hilton spending. And that’s on top of the usual points you earn. Stack ’em up, folks, stack ’em up!
Multiply Your Everyday Points
For everyday purchases, the Hilton Business Card dishes out 5x points on non-bonus spending, up to $100,000 a year. Secure a tidy sum of points, and edge yourself closer to that Diamond status. All in a day’s work!
Upgrade with National Emerald Club Executive Status
Rent cars often? As a cardmember, you’re upgraded to National Emerald Club Executive status. That means access to better cars, quicker rewards accruement, and a smoother experience on the road. Efficiency is the name of the game.
Tapping Into Amex Offers
Ah, Amex Offers—a champion of savings if there ever was one. Special deals with select retailers mean potential hundreds of dollars back each year. Think of it as a cherry on top of all the splendid benefits this card unfolds.
Prefer a Personal Touch?
Already good friends with the Hilton Business Card, or perhaps fancy a personal touch instead? Take a gander at the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card. Packed with perks, it also teems with overlap, sharing the spotlight with its business counterpart. Having both might double your welcome gifts!
Final Thoughts
The Hilton Business Card really does serve up an array of perks. From the enticing welcome offer to Hilton Honors Gold status, there’s plenty that makes dish out for that annual fee a cinch, especially if you frequent Hilton properties. All this while keeping your personal credit untouched. Now, that’s savvy card choice.
