Earlier this month, we told you aboutÂ the Hilton Honors ™Â Card from American Express. See each offer below. I would consider both of these cards if you are looking to rack up some Hilton points! With both cards, you have the potential of also attaining Hilton Gold status. So, let’s take a look at the benefits of Hilton Gold Status.

With the Hilton Honors ™Â Card from American ExpressÂ you getÂ complimentary HiltonÂ Silver status for as long as you are a cardmember which will give you the ability to get the 5th night free on Hilton award stays. If you spend $20,000 in a calendar year, on the Hilton Honors ™Â Card from American ExpressÂ youâ€™ll get Hilton Gold status through the end of the next calendar year.
