Hilton has launched a set of limited-time offers on its cards that offer the ability to get or earn a Hilton Free Night Award on every card. (With the Aspire card, you get a free night in your first year, regardless of the offer.)
Given that Hilton free night awards can be used for a standard room night at almost any Hilton-flagged property worldwide, there’s massive potential to get value out of these offers.

My take: Yes, THESE are the offers we are looking for!
Hilton free night awards are probably the most valuable free night certificate out there because they can be used for a standard night at almost any property, worldwide, with the exception of about 50 properties. So being able to get or earn one of these certificates with every card in Hilton’s lineup is amazing.
All of the current offers match the best offers that I’ve seen since I started tracking these bonuses. Yes, the regular Hilton Card and Surpass Card offer slightly fewer points than the regular bonuses, but I’d take that tradeoff all day long.
The real gem is the The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card card offer, which ups both the number of points you earn AND offers the free night certificate.
With the small caveat that you should have a plan to use these certificates before you apply—remember, they expire in a year—now is the time to get a new Hilton card.
