The Hilton Honors American Express® Aspire is Hilton’s premium credit card. This is the card you want if you are loyal to Hilton.

While the annual fee on this card is high, it comes with some great benefits. Our favorite benefit is the free night award you'll earn each year on your cardmember anniversary (and when you first open the card). Hilton free night awards are our favorite because they can be used at almost any Hilton property as long as there is standard award availability.

Other nice benefits include complimentary Hilton Diamond status, up to $200 in statement credits semi-annually for eligible purchases made directly with participating Hilton Resorts, up to $199 in statement credits per calendar year towards a CLEAR® Plus Membership, and more.

With this card you’ll earn 14 points per $1 spent at Hilton hotels, 7 points per $1 spent on select travel (flights booked directly with airlines or AmexTravel.com and car rentals booked directly with select car rental companies), 7 points per dollar spent at U.S. restaurants (including takeout and delivery), and 3 points per $1 spent on all other purchases.
