Bonus History
| Bonus | Period | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| +20% | Jul 2026 – Jul 2026 | Officially live |
| +20% | Apr 2026 – May 2026 | Hilton often sells points with a 100% bonus, making them cost just 0.5 cents per point. If you value them at that rate, it would impute a value of 1.2 cents per AMEX point, which isn’t exceptional, but can be a decent value for hotel stays. |
