Is the Hilton Honors Surpass worth it?

Sitting squarely in the middle of Hilton's other consumer cards, the Hilton Surpass comes with a $0 intro annual fee for the first year (then $95) as well as the following benefits:

• Earn 12x on eligible purchases at hotels and resorts in the Hilton portfolio, 6x on restaurants, supermarkets and gas in the U.S. and 3x on all other eligible purchases.
• Complimentary Hilton Honors Gold elite status, with the opportunity to earn Diamond status by spending $40,000 or more on purchases with your card in a calendar year.
• Free weekend night reward after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases on your card in a calendar year.
• 10 complimentary Priority Pass lounge visits each year. (Enrollment required)
• Secondary car rental insurance and Global Assist Hotline.
• No foreign transaction fees (see rates and fees)

If you're able to meet the spend threshold of $15,000 in a calendar year, the free weekend night reward can easily exceed the $95 annual fee, among other benefits you'll receive from automatic Gold status.

Bottom line

If you've been thinking about applying for a new hotel card, this is your last chance to jump on an elevated welcome offer that's rare for a card with $0 intro annual fee for the first year; then $95. Plus, you can open the card now to test-drive it, see how you like the earning rates and perks and then decide later if it's worth paying the $95 annual fee after the first year.
