Our Verdict

The standard offer on this card is 60,000 points, but it’s increased to 80,000 points on a fairly regular basis (April 1st this year and late December last year). 80,000 points is the highest it’s ever been, so now would be a good time to get it if you’re in need of Hilton points.

I’d highly recommend reading our post on things you should know about American Express cards before you apply for one. Especially the fact that you can only get the bonuses on the personal cards once per lifetime.
