Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card
Last reviewed: October 19, 2023
A good value for Hilton hotel fans, the Honors Surpass card makes it easy to quickly earn free nights with an ample point bonus on U.S. gas station, U.S restaurant, U.S. supermarket and Hilton hotel purchases and it also comes with a substantial welcome bonus.
Hilton Honors American Express Card
Last reviewed: October 31, 2023
The Hilton Honors card offers a generous number of bonus points on hotel and everyday purchases; but because Hilton’s Honors points aren’t worth as much as the average credit card rewards point, cardholders need a larger number of points to purchase rewards-funded travel.
Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card
Last reviewed: October 19, 2023
The Hilton Honors Aspire card — though laden with great hotel perks — is probably too pricey for the average rewards cardholder.

Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card
Last reviewed: October 19, 2023
