Our Verdict
The standard sign up bonus on this card is 40,000 points, so this is a nice increase of 20,000 points (they also sometimes have a 50k point + $50 offer, which I think is much better value). That being said, this offer comes around semi regularly. The main reason people are interested in this card is that it’s extremely easy to churn (get the sign up bonus repeatedly). The main reason people used to be interested in this card is that it was possible to churn it repeatedly, this offer includes language which means you can only get the sign up bonus once every 18 months which makes it far less attractive an option.
Personally I don’t get a lot of value out of Hilton HHonors points, so I’m giving this card and bonus a miss but it could be useful for some who are wanting to pad their Hilton account out with some more points. I’ve added this bonus to our dedicated page on hotel credit cards.
