Hilton Honors American Express Card

The Points Guy's Summary:

The Hilton Honors American Express Card is the base level Hilton Amex card. Outside of Hilton purchases, you still get bonus points on spend at U.S. restaurants, U.S. supermarkets, and U.S. gas stations. Although Hilton points aren't worth as much as Marriott or other points programs, their redemption value is decent if you can find the right sweet spots in their award chart.

Hilton Honors American Express Card
Point Value 0.6 cents

There isn’t a strict mathematical formula at work here. At some point we’d like to create a system that could calculate a precise value based on award availability, fees, award levels and ease of accrual, but for now these valuations are based on a combination of how much TPG would pay to buy points if given the opportunity, and the overall value I could get from redeeming them.
