You can now get a bonus of 75,000 points + $100 or 100,000 points.
Update 08/24/18: Along with an increased bonus on the business version of this card, this personal version is also available again.
Update: By doing a dummy booking you can also get a $50 statement credit to show. Updated post to reflect this. If you applied for the offer without the $50 statement credit, it’s unlikely American Express will match you unfortunately. Hat tip to iStroking

Our Verdict
The highest bonus we’ve seen on this card is 75,000 points, so this is an extra $50 that we’ve never seen before.  That being said I still think this will be a common offer. I don’t see American Express offering a higher bonus than this in the short to medium term, otherwise it would directly compete with the business and Ascend card’s that come with an annual fee. That being said it’s still a nice offer if you have a good use for Hilton points as the minimum spend requirement is nice and small. Keep in mind you’re not eligible for this bonus if you’ve had or have this product. Also keep in mind that American Express has increased the sign up bonus on the business card to 125,000 points + $50 and 100,000 points + free night on anniversary on the Ascend card. If you have any questions regarding American Express cards they are most likely answered here.

Thanks, already on the site: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/american-express-hilton-honors-card-no-annual-fee-card-100000-point-offer-or-75000-points-100-statement-credit-highest-ever/. Added a note to this page so people don’t miss it.
Can these points be redeemed at Amazon.com?
Does it need to be done on a computer? Nothing shows up for me on my mobile.
Yes only from a desktop/computer, from mobile it stays stuck at the loading application page.
I can’t get the offer to show. What am I doing wrong?
Go to the Hilton website and make a random booking. Select a room and then enter in name information. Next page where you enter in credit card information there is an ad for it click on that and you’ll see the 75k + $50 statement credit offer.
Is this card considered an ascend card? If one has the surpass/ascend with annual fee is this considered a brand new card and eligible for bonus?
No, they are different cards.
I should have copied/pasted, but I got a message along the lines of “Due to your history of welcome bonuses and opened and closed American Express cards you are not eligible for this offer.”
Anyone else getting this? All I have currently is Delta Plat opened 07/17 and Bluecash Everyday opened 12/17. Previously had Delta Gold opened in 2015 and closed the following year.
Yes, it’s relatively common: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/american-express-adds-signup-bonus-eligibility-check-during-the-credit-card-application-process/
Ouch looks likes no bonus even though never had this card
based on your history with American Express welcome offers, introductory APR offers, or the number of Cards you have opened and closed, you are not eligible to receive this welcome offer.
We have not yet performed a credit check. Would you still like to proceed?
Note: Your application will be considered withdrawn if no action is taken on this page.
I got the same message. What’s your Amex history?
All I have currently is Delta Plat opened 07/17 and Bluecash Everyday opened 12/17. Previously had Delta Gold opened in 2015 and closed the following year.
Do you think the Aspire card will ever see an increased sign up bonus?
The current offer is too weak for me, and if that card had an increased sign up bonus offer, I’ll apply in a heartbeat.
Not sure tbh
Upgrade offer to the ascend is back in @amex offer section of the website.
75k/2k.
I last upgraded in June.
