Our Verdict
Best offer has been 150,000 points via incognito mode. What offer you prefer will really depend on how you value Hilton points. Personally I would prefer $100 cash than 25,000 Hilton points, but I know others will strongly disagree and prefer the points. As always if you have any questions, read this post about American Express cards first. I’ll likely add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses as I think it’s a strong offer.
