10 Reward Nights and Instant Gold Membership Rewards with Hilton

Earn 60,000 HHonors points and TWO Weekend Night Certificates by applying for the HHonors Amex and Citibank HHonors Visa Signature cards. This will cause two pulls on your credit report; only apply if you are committed to the HHonors program. You also get HHonors instant gold status with both cards.

HHonors points are most valuable when redeeming for stays with Hilton hotels. If you have some trips coming up and you need a hotel, check out these offers.

Some of the most intriguing Hilton gold status perks are you automatically receive a 25% bonus on all the HHonors Base Points you earn, Late check-out, complimentary In-Room, High-Speed Internet Access and two complimentary bottles of water per stay plus other benefits.

*Hilton HHonors points do not have very good conversion rates to airline mileage: 10,000 HHonors to 1,000 miles.

American Express Surpass Credit Card:

• 40,000 points with first purchase
• 20,000 additional after $3,000 spend within 90 days
• $75 Annul Fee
• Complimentary Gold Status for First Year
• Access to the Executive Floor lounge
• Upgraded accommodations when available

Silver members receive a 15 percent point bonus, complimentary health club access when available and the option to redeem points for VIP Rewards, with award stays of up to 14 nights at participating hotels worldwide.

Remember that the annual fee is not waived for this card but the easy to reach 40,000 base points are a good deal. However the HHonors devaluation of 2013 saw points lose a lot of their sparkle. A good replacement to earning points is to get a credit card that gives stay certificates in participating Hilton hotels.

Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card:

• 2 Weekend Night Certs after $2,500 spend within first 4 months
• $95 Annual Fee
• Gold VIP for entire cardmembership

This card also has chip and signature technology which makes it easier to use while traveling abroad and enjoying its no foreign transaction fee. This card is defintely up there on the list  best hotel credit cards but the annual fee keeps it from being in the upper tier of the best travel rewards credit cards.
