Where it costs you

The Compound Verdict
The easiest free entry into hotel points anywhere. The current 70k bonus plus a Free Night Reward 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.
