Hilton HHonors Amex Credit Card Benefits

Hilton HHonors credit card comes with overwhelming bonuses and reward points for new members, there is an exclusive first-year bonus for newly enrolled members, there are even more amenities for the regular existing members.
There are tons of loyalty rewards for Hilton HHonors Amex Credit Card members. There is a bonus of 500 points on every eligible online purchase. The membership rewards program offers free airline tickets, shopping online with redeemed points, a point earned for every dollar spent on eligible and outside purchases, as well as a bonus of 50,000 bonus points on more than $750 purchases with the card for first three months.
Hilton HHonors provides complementary silver status to its members that are automatically upgraded to the Gold membership status on more than $20,000 spent in a calendar year. Unlike most of the rewards programs, there is no monthly or annual fee for Hilton HHonors Amex Credit Card. With a gold status, members are allowed to utilize free Wi-Fi services in any HHonors specified public hotspot. There is no introductory APR, and a lower foreign transaction fee of 2.7% is ideal for frequent travelers.

Hilton HHonors Amex Credit Card Drawbacks

The bonus and purchase points earned can only be redeemed in HHonors branch hotels, Inns, resorts, and shopping malls. Though there are around 5000 hotels and Inns directly supervised by HHonors Inc. still as compared to Chase Sapphire credit card, it is not flexible for some members. The foreign transaction fee is lower than most of the credit card companies, still having a biggest worldwide hotel setup, it is higher than expected.
Earning a gold status is quite tougher for low spenders or local travelers. With a privilege to gain 25% redemption, spending 20,000 dollars a year is quite a big deal with small reward. There is no anniversary award, most of the credit card companies offer anniversary awards on completion of one year of membership as a reward. Still, Hilton HHonors Amex Credit Card has no such offer.
