Hilton Honors is Hilton\u2019s rewards programme. It has partnered with Currensea to launch a pair of debit cards that allow you to earn points for spending, which can be redeemed at Hilton hotels and a few other ways.<\/p>
The Hilton Honors Debit Card comes with a \u00a360 annual fee, while the Hilton Honors Debit Card Plus has a \u00a3150 annual fee. They come with an instant upgrade to silver status or gold status, respectively.<\/p>
While rewards cards<\/a> are usually credit cards, these debit cards work by being connected to your current account. Then money is taken out of your account as you spend and you earn points in your Hilton Honors account.<\/p> To apply for a card, you need to be 18 years old, have a mobile number and a current account with Barclays, Bank Of Scotland, Coutts, First Direct, HSBC, Halifax, Lloyds, Monzo, Nationwide, Natwest, Revolut, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander, Starling, TSB, Virgin Money or Ulster Bank. You can\u2019t open an account if you have an active county court judgment (CCJ)<\/a>.<\/p> Earn rates start at 1 point per \u00a31 for the standard card and 1.5 points per \u00a31 for the Plus card for spending in GBP. They are higher if you spend with Hilton or overseas.<\/p> To redeem points, Hilton says you can find rooms from 5,000 points per night, but more popular hotels can cost upwards of 120,000 per night.<\/p> There\u2019s a range of features with these cards. They include:<\/p> It really depends how often you stay at the Hilton. If you\u2019re a regular guest there and normally pay for breakfast then you\u2019ll get good value from paying the annual fee for the Plus card and getting the accompanying upgrade to gold status, especially if you travel with a guest. You\u2019d also be earning more points that you can put towards future stays with that card. It\u2019s also useful for international transactions as there are no FX fees and has free cash withdrawals up to \u00a3500 a month, which is competitive among other other cards.<\/p> The standard card costs less but doesn\u2019t really provide as much value, so you\u2019d be hard pressed to get your money\u2019s worth.<\/p> If you think you might only use it as a travel card and not stay at a Hilton then the annual fee is not worth paying as there are cheaper, better travel options<\/a> available.<\/p>Features<\/h3>
