With the intro annual fee, it’s a perfect time to apply for the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card if you don’t want to fork over an annual fee but want to test the waters with this Hilton Amex co-branded credit card.
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.
