My take: Business card and the no-annual-fee card are the bonus sweet spots, but not necessarily the cards you want.
The most exciting bonuses right now are the limited-time bonuses on the Hilton Honors American Express Card and the The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card, based solely on the relative sizes of those bonuses compared to those cards’ annual fees.
In fact, the Hilton Honors card’s bonus is so large for a no-annual-fee card that I’m adding it to my list of favorite bonuses while its current increased annual fee is available.
But when it comes to the card you actually want—if you stay at Hilton properties or are interested in free night certificates, the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card is probably the best for frequent Hilton guests and the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card is by far the most valuable if you’re leveraging Hilton’s free night certificates. I’ve got more on my recommendations on which card to get in a dedicated article and if you’re interested in digging into the cards’ benefits and features more, I’ve published some comparison tables for the Hilton credit cards.
