Overall this is a great option for those who want an easy way to get and keep Hilton Gold status (which offers free breakfast, among other perks). Due to the relatively low value of Hilton points compared to many other types of rewards (see: Reasonable Redemption Values), this isn't the best card to use for spend at 3X, but it's not bad for it's 6X and 12X categories.

Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card

Just got an offer in the mail for the surpass — 175k points after 4K spend. Trying to work the math on this vs the Aspire with 150k Sign up. Surpass is just $95 but I would be paying that fee for essentially nothing in return since we can’t travel and use the one good feature, gold status. Aspire has $450 fee but comes with a free night (valid for 2 years) and the other well described benefits, useful this year, that could wipe out that $450 fee (even without using diamond status, to keep things consistent). Next scenarios are 1) do the Surpass now with bigger bonus, then upgrade later (and hope for a bonus in doing so?), 2) do both sequentially and product change the surpass to a no fee card in 1 year. ….topic for discussion by the great Minds at FM?
