Well, then, get another Hilton Visa 50k card, complete the minimum spend, get another one, complete the minimum spend, get another one, etc, etc, etc.

In other words, it sounds you don't realize that this card is "highly" churnable, in that you can reapply for it every couple months (assuming you can meet the modest minimum spend that fast) and get the bonus every time.

At one every three months, you'd earn 200k HH points a year. Or if you manage one every two months, you'd earn 300k HH points a year. (There's no way you are likely to come anywhere close to that by just holding onto one card and using that.)

See this thread (especially the Wiki at the top of it) for more details:

(The key to earning lots of points is signup bonuses, not using cards "the normal way".)
