Why it earns its spot
- +Big welcome bonuses for a no-fee card
- +Automatic Silver status includes fifth night free on awards
Where it costs you
- −Hilton points are worth roughly half a cent each
- −Surpass earns nearly double in the same categories for $150
The Compound Verdict
The easiest free entry into hotel points anywhere. An 80k bonus covers two or three solid mid-tier nights for zero fee. Most cardholders should still pay up for the Surpass once they stay Hilton more than a few nights a year.
