American Express has a new offer with a 125,000 bonus on the Hilton Ascend card. This matches the highest points bonus we had seen, but it was previously targeted. This is not however the best bonus for the card.

Guru’s Wrap-Up
A pretty good offer, but not the best we have seen for the Hilton Ascend card. There was a 100K offer previously that also came with an extra free night.
