Our Verdict
This bonus was just increased to 125,000 points. This new 150,000 offer is the highest we’ve ever seen on this card. American Express doesn’t match sign up bonuses if you’ve recently applied, but they sometimes offer courtesy points. This hasn’t been the case when other Hilton cards had increased bonuses, but it’s always worth a try. I don’t see this offer going any higher in the short term, so if you need/want Hilton points then this is a good opportunity to get some. Keep in mind the sign up bonuses on the other cards are also increased:
- American Express Hilton Aspire Bonus Increased To 150,000 Points – Best Ever
- Hilton Honors American Express Business Card 125,000 Point Offer + $100 Statement Credit (not new)
- American Express Hilton Honors Card No Annual Fee Card: 100,000 Point Offer Or 75,000 Points + $100 Statement Credit (Highest Ever)
I’ll be adding this to the best credit card sign up bonuses. As always if you have any questions, read this post about American Express cards first.
So I had the Hilton Ascend card already, and downgraded last April to the regular no-fee Hilton card. I just got this offer in my email, if I upgrade back to the ascend am I still eligible to receive these 150,000 points? I see no mention in the terms and conditions about being a prior card member, but when calling the rep they said very confidently that even if I got the targeted offer, if I had the card before, I WILL NOT get the bonus again. Were they just being ignorant? Am I safe to upgrade?
I currently have this card, great way to get the 150K point bonus plus Gold status.
What I’m wondering is if I decide to cancel this card in October when the AF hits, how long will I get to keep Gold status? An article on another points site says I’m good until March of next year, but Amex’s T&C make it sound like the Gold status could be removed immediately. Does anyone have a DP on this?
Maybe there is no way to know this, or maybe a more experienced person will have the answer: any idea how long we can expect this offer to last? For purposes of staggering spending for bonuses, it would be better if I got this card next month, but I don’t want to miss out.
Hello,
Not sure if William would allow it, but I was able to generate a link that shows 3 top bonus options reliably:
150K @4K spent for Aspire Hilton
150K @3K spent for Ascend Hilton
100K @1K spent for Basic Hilton

You know it’s not allowed, so why post?
A dummy booking is now showing that the Ascend offer has become 125k + $100 statement credit on only 2k in spend.
Is there a link or do you have a screenshot/ I can’t get it to show
No link because it is via a dummy booking, but here is a screenshot:

I wasn’t seeing the offer yesterday (3/28) but it appears to be back today (3/29).
If you get the Ascend bonus, can you get the Aspire bonus too?
Doc, Why are not allowing to people post referral links? This referral link is the only way you could get 150K

Stop trying to post your link.
I tried to post this link before, but moderator took it down. To Bill and moderator, this is a legitimate link to get 150K bonus, you should keep this link to help your readers. The 150K offer is available at [removed] . Enjoy!
Stop posting links to that site.
I just activated my card online and it definitely lets me send out referrals for 150,000 HH points. Thought it was dead, apparently not (at least through referrals). Referrals do give the person referring 20,000 points, though.
Here you have the offer in case you can’t see it [removed. Don’t post your referrals here]
It’s good for 150000 HH after spending $3000 in 3 months.
