Check out this offer! This Hilton Ascend offer comes with 150,000 Hilton points for just a $95 annual fee and $3,000 in spending! That is a very strong offer that can be valued around $750, at least, depending on your redemption method.

Here is a surprise! I just received a referral offer from American Express that ups the bonus offer for customers from the previous high of 125,000 Hilton points to 150,000 Hilton points! This is the same amount as the Hilton Aspire that comes with a $450 annual fee (though that card does come with a bunch of credits and Diamond status as well, including a free night). If all you want is the Hilton points with the lowest fee, this is the offer for you!

Differences between this Offer and the Public Offer

This offer has 25,000 more points than the public offer and requires an extra $1,000 in spending to receive it. If you can swing the $3,000 in 3 months, this is definitely the better offer.

Analysis

This is a very strong offer. I think it is kind of a shame that Amex held this one back and is just now releasing this through their personal referral program. Obviously, the public offer should be the increased one and the affiliate/referral one should be lower. I think there are a lot of people that already applied under the previous 125,000 point offer and Amex is not that great about matching offers across application channels. Still, you could always give them a call (not message) and ask about it.
