Bonus Points earned through purchases on all Hilton American Express Cards, that post to the Card Member’s Hilton Honors account between May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021 will be considered Base Points and will count towards Elite tier qualification and Lifetime Diamond Status. Learn more about elite status here and lifetime diamond status here.
Existing cardholders can also get monthly credits and bonus points.
Here is how the Hilton AMEX cards compare:
[table “81” not found /]An overwater villa with a private pool in the Conrad Maldives can cost $1,500-$3,500 after tax, but its bookable for just 95K points. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need just 76K points/night.
You can buy additional Hilton points on sale now for just 0.5 cents each.
5 nights in the Maldives is pretty much the definition of Heaven on Earth. Read more about the Conrad Maldives here.
The Maldives are currently open for Americans.

Most Hilton hotels are capped at a cost of 95K points per night for a standard room, but the Waldorf Astoria Maldives costs 120K points/night. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 96K points/night.
Best of all, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives now allows for point redemptions on overwater villas with a pool!
That’s an incredible value compared to the paid rates:
The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is bookable for 120K points per night as well. It’s Trip Advisor’s top ranked hotel in Cabo and is Travel + Leisure’s World’s top resort in Mexico this year.
Similar to the Waldorf Astoria Maldives, you’ll need a whopping 120K points per night, though with Hilton’s devalued currency that’s still a bargain.
With a 5 night stay you can pay 96K points per night with the 5th night free award that is available to Hilton cardholders and elites.
Even the base rooms come with a private plunge pool.
Sample paid rate versus the points rate:
That’s $6,735 after tax versus 480K for a 5 night stay, a value of 1.4 cents per Hilton point. That value will vary by date, but is very good for Hilton points.
Chabad of Cabo has tourist information on their website and operates a kosher restaurant. They’re located just 1.2 miles from the Waldorf! Discuss more about Cabo on DDF here.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem has gotten stingier with the King Superior room space required for a standard points booking. When there is space the rate is 95K points per night. If you have a Hilton credit card or elite status and stay for 5 nights you’ll need 76K points/night.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is one of the finest hotels in Israel.

There is a mind-boggling quantity of awesome kosher food at the hotel’s daily breakfast, from dozens of daily hot dishes to hard cheeses, fresh fruits and pastries to fresh squeezed juices, as well as on-demand dishes like french toast, pancakes, waffles, and eggs. Unlimited wine, hot or cold chocolate drinks, and espresso drinks are included as well!
Breakfast is free on points stays if you have Gold or Diamond status.
With a breakfast like this, you may not even be hungry for dinner…

Isn’t Jerusalem Waldorf filing for bankruptcy or did someone bail them out?
They may have new ownership, but they still have a Waldorf contract in place for years to come unless they want to pay stiff penalties.
If I previously received a sign up bonus on one of the hiilton cards can I now get a Sub on a different card. Also for the ten priority use passes can I use some of them for a guest
Yes.
Yes.
Can I sign up for both consumer cards?
Yes.
How much base points does Hilton give ?

Thanks Dan!
Nice!
new times more lenient now?
Can I combine my and my wife’s hilton points?
Yes.
Can Amex match the new offer if recently applied for those cards?
Unlikely
is there a catch with the $150 statement credit? it’s more than the annual fee… can it be used toward anything or just Hilton?
Anything (including a check in the mail).
Can I downgrade the honors card to free card after a year?
Yes.
Would the fact that Hilton chose to give a large statement credit ($150) instead of a much larger point sign up bonus ( like Jet Blue and Southwest did ) indicate that Hilton devaluations are less likely in the near future ?
Hi, is it worth it to cancel my Chase sapphire reserve and instead get the Hilton amex business?
Or keep the sapphire and get the Hilton Amex Business also?
Very different cards and benefits.
Am I eligible for the bonus on the Aspire if I previously got a bonus on this card (years ago)?
If not– eligible on the other cards?
After you click to apply it will give you a popup if you won’t get the bonus and ask you if you want to proceed anyway.
How many amex CC can I have at once ?
4 credit.
If I already have the Surpass card can I apply for Aspire and still qualify for point bonus? Can the Aspire later be downgraded to a Surpass?
Yes.
Yes

Sign up bonus as well?
“There is a mind-boggling quantity of awesome kosher food at the hotel’s daily breakfast…”
To my knowledge the Jerusalem Waldorf is certified kosher under the Rabbanut Mehadrin, which is likely beneath the standards of many DD readers.

I currently have the business card and the Surpass card; my application for the basic AmEx Hilton card was rejected because I already have one…is there any way to get a 3rd one?

Yes.
Do amex biz and personal pull credit from same bureau?
My mail goal for now is to rack up points to fly NYC – TLV in business class as often as possible during the next 5 or so years.
Is this card worthwhile, or can I do better?
I’m currently at 4/25, and have Chase Sapphire Preferred, Freedom, and Freedom Unlimited.
