    Hi all, I've been reading about this card on the AMEX website and the description looks pretty good:

    No annual fee
    3 Points per dollar for regular purchases
    5 Points per dollar for staying at Hilton Hotels

    The Hilton points can also be redeemed as airline miles. Does anyone have this card or is a member of the Hilton Honors program? How is the card and / or program?

    I don't think the points expire as long as you regularly use the card, but what is the redemption rate for airline miles? Is it 20-25,000 miles for a round trip coach ticket like other mileage cards?

    This card seems mysterious to me as I don't know anyone who has it.

    The Amex Starwood Platinum is their leading rewards card. Check that one too.

    Just looked at the Hilton Honors webpage and noticed that you need 85,000 points to get a round trip coach ticket in the U.S. so:

    85000/3 = roughly 28,000 points to get the ticket on the AMEX Hilton Card if you only use the card for regular purchases. Not bad for no annual fee!!!
    I'm not sure if you can add these points to your frequent flier accounts, but I will check.

    I'll definitely check out the AMEX Starwood card as well.
