the Amex HHonors Surpass card has changed the bonus points you get using their card staying at Hiltons beginning Nov. 1st. see
here
Hilton stays: was 9 points, now 12 points per dollar
Still only 1st year as Gold Card member. But with $20K spend you can stay a Gold Card member.
Not sure I'm going to stay with Amex though if I don't make Gold next year... I do like the benefits. May switch to this Citi card (and get the points too).
