Hilton Honors is a direct transfer partner of several rewards programs including one major credit card rewards program: American Express Membership Rewards.
AMEX Membership Rewards
American Express Membership Rewards Points transfer to Hilton Honors at a 1:2 ratio. This means that every 1,000 AMEX Points you transfer to your Hilton Honors account will give you 2,000 Hilton Honors Points.
This makes AMEX the best option for earning additional points via intro bonuses and everyday spending across select cards. You can also acquire AMEX's personal and business Platinum cards for not only a large sum of points and perks, but for complimentary Hilton Honors Gold status which is a big plus if you're looking for a little more when staying at Hilton brand hotels.
Here are the best credit card offers for earning Membership Rewards points:
