Our Verdict
Previous best offer was 150,000 points + $100 statement credit or 130,000 points + free night certificate. Personally don’t think this bonus is nearly as good as those offers, but interesting that American Express/Hilton is seemingly showing these offers when using the Hilton WiFi. Hopefully this leads to other higher bonuses in the future. As always if you have any questions, read this post about American Express cards first.
