Our Verdict
This is basically the standard bonuses on these cards now, although they go down to 50,000/75,000 and then back up to these increased levels as well. I’d personally wait unless you have a plan for your Hilton points in the near future, they did accidentally release 100,000/125,000 links extremely briefly before so I expect the offers to increase to those levels at some stage in the future and American Express bonuses are once per lifetime.
Before applying for either card, I’d recommend reading through these things you should know about American Express credit cards. Please also read them before you ask any basic questions in the comments. If you want to apply for these offers, use a readers link then provides valuable comments. If you’re leaving a referral link, make sure you follow the rules above or it will be removed. Also remember to help other readers and provide helpful comments on the site as then other readers are more likely to use your links.
