Surpass Now 12x Points; Credit Card War Heats Up

Just got an email today from Surpass:

FROM HILTON HHONORS™ SURPASS®

Your rewards just got richer

Earn 12 Hilton HHonors™ Bonus Points for every dollar of eligible purchases at any participating hotel within the Hilton HHonors portfolio of brands.*

Looks like they are responding to the Higher (10x points) with the new Citi Hilton Reserve Card. Definitely great for us consumers--but will it devalue points in the long run?

I doubt if this in itself will devalue points. Most people pay through other means, and most guests that use the Hilton card aren't paying for Surpass.

How many points will the standard Hilton Amex earn at Hilton properties, going forward?

It doesn't entice me. Until AmEx does away with ForEx charges, it will always be my "back-up" card to CitiBank Visa Reserve.
