Only one first purchase Bonus per Card account. Only first-time Hilton HHonors Surpass Cardmembers will get up to 40,000 HHonors Bonus Points. Cardmembers who have previously received a first purchase Bonus from any Hilton HHonors® Card from American Express get the incremental difference of up to 40,000 Hilton HHonors Bonus Points. Allow 8–12 weeks for HHonors Bonus Points to be credited to your account.
3. To get up to 40,000 Hilton HHonors Bonus Points, you must charge $1,000 or more to your Hilton HHonors Surpass Card within your first 3 months of Cardmembership. Only first-time Hilton HHonors Surpass Cardmembers will get up to 40,000 HHonors Bonus Points. Allow 8-12 weeks for HHonors Bonus Points to be credited to your account.
4. In your first 18 months of Cardmembership, get 2,500 HHonors Bonus Points for each of your first eight stays at a participating property within the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of hotels when you charge $100 or more to your Hilton HHonors Surpass Card for each of those eight stays. Allow 8–12 weeks for HHonors Bonus Points to be credited to your account.
5. You will receive nine Hilton HHonors Bonus Points for each U.S. dollar of Eligible Spending on the Card at any participating property within the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of hotels (excluding Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare purchases and package sales). You will receive six Hilton HHonors Bonus Points for each U.S. dollar of Eligible Spending at the following categories of merchants, excluding warehouse clubs and superstores: supermarkets; drug stores; stand-alone gas stations; and home telephone, wireless, cable, satellite TV and Internet service providers. You will receive three Hilton HHonors Bonus Points for each U.S. dollar of all other Eligible Spending. To receive the appropriate Bonus Points, the merchants must submit the charge using the appropriate industry code, merchant code, or products / service code established by us. If the merchant submits a charge using a different code, the applicable charge will only receive the Bonus Points corresponding to that code. Merchants with multiple locations may submit charges at different locations using different codes. This means that charges at some locations will qualify for additional Bonus Points, but charges at other locations of the same merchant will not. Eligible Spending includes purchases of goods or services, which purchases have not been returned or otherwise rescinded, and are not subject to a credit. You will not receive Hilton HHonors Bonus Points for balances transferred from other accounts, purchases of American Express® Travelers Cheques or American Express® Gift Cheques, fees, Interest Charges, Cash Advances and similar means of assessing your Card Account.
