In October 2023, American Express revamped<\/a> the mid-tier Hilton Honors American Express Surpass\u00ae Card<\/a><\/span> and top-tier Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along with higher annual fees (see rates and fees for the Surpass<\/a> and Aspire<\/a>) and the removal of lounge access, Amex<\/a> has introduced new and revamped statement credits on the two cards.<\/p>\n

Savvy points-and-miles<\/a> enthusiasts have probably wondered the best strategy to get the most out of these credits. On the surface, they seem somewhat restrictive, but as you’ll read below, they may have more flexibility than you think.<\/p>\n

The information for the Hilton Aspire card has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hilton credit on the Surpass<\/h2>\n

With the Surpass<\/a><\/span>, cardmembers now receive up to $50 each quarter in statement credits (up to $200 annually) when using the card for Hilton purchases.<\/p>\n

The terms and conditions state:<\/p>\n

…for eligible purchases charged directly with a property within the Hilton portfolio on their Card Account, including bookings and incidental charges. For a booking to be eligible for a statement credit, the booking must be made directly through a reservation channel operated by Hilton. Bookings or purchases made through a third party other than Hilton, such as an online travel website, will not be eligible for statement credit(s)…For an incidental charge (including charges made at restaurants, spas, and other establishments within the hotel property) to be eligible for a statement credit, the incidental charge must be charged to your room and paid for with your Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card at checkout.<\/em><\/p>\n
