"What you can do is apply for the free hilton card and earn your bonus points and wait a few months and you could have the option from within your account to upgrade to Surpass and earn an additional 50K."

Is it a few months or a full year?

"What about the Bank of Hawaii and Bank of America Hawaiian Airline cards? You can get a total of 140k Hilton point BUT there is a $79 fee (that they don't waive) for each card."

Will consider! Read elsewhere HHonors pt = 0.7 cents; am I correct in figuring then that 2x$79/0.007 = 22,572 pts of the 140K bonus pts covers the fees?

Also, if I do all the above twice (me+spouse), but am only one using all pts., is there way, knowing this in advance, to avoid pt transfer fees?
