Guru’s Wrap-Up

This is a business product and is very similar to the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card. It does have some extra 6X categories, such as flights booked directly with airlines or amextravel.com, car rentals and wireless telephone services. However, in the past, we have seen an offer with a waived annual fee, 125K points and a $100 credit.

This new welcome offer gets you 130K points for spending $3K within three months, which is not quite as good. You can do better by applying through a referral link, which is showing the same bonus. But a friend or family member who refers you will also get the referral bonus, which will get you more points in total.

Another positive aspect of this card, compared to other Amex Hilton cards, is the fact that it is a business credit card. That means that it will not count towards Chase 5/24, if that’s something you are worried about.
