Increased Bonuses for No-Fee Hilton and Hilton Business with $100 Credit

There’s two increased welcome offers available for Hilton cards that give you an extra $100 statement credit. One is for the Hilton Honors American Express Card and the other for the Hilton Honors American Express Business Card. The cards also come with 75K and 125K bonuses. Both offers show up when when doing a booking on the Hilton site. You might see the 75K + $100 offer for the no-fee card first, but when you click it, you should also see the offer for the business card.

Guru’s Wrap-Up

Both are good bonuses and more valuable than the current public offers. The no-fee card is probably best for those that don’t want to spend anything out of pocket and also net some points, but the business version gives you a better bonus and some extra benefits. It also has a $95 annual fee. It 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. You can also get a 130K welcome bonus, but I’m sure everyone values $100 more than 5K Hilton points.

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.
