Get £100 off £500 of Hilton USA hotel spending with an American Express cashback offer
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
A new American Express offer has been launched with Hilton. You may find this in the ‘Offers’ section of one, all or none of your cards on the online statement page. I have it on my BA Amex but not my Platinum card.
If you have it, this is the deal:
Receive £100 statement credit when spending £500 at Hilton properties in the US
Valid until 31st October
Only valid when you pay at the hotel (“excludes online payments”)
There is NO list of participating hotels. This is a problem. Historically, Hilton offers have applied across all brands – Waldorf Astoria, Hampton, DoubleTree etc.
It doesn’t say that here. All references to hotels just say ‘Hilton’ or ‘Hilton properties’ or ‘participating Hilton hotels’ – not ‘Hilton family’, ‘Hilton owned’, ‘Hilton group’ etc. It is perfectly possible that you won’t get it at a DoubleTree or, say, the highly acclaimed Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills pictured below.
Remember that you will be hit by a 3% foreign exchange fee when paying on an American Express card in the US. This reduces the value of the cashback if you would otherwise have paid on a 0% FX fees card.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (July 2025)
There are various ways of earning Hilton Honors points from UK credit and debit cards. Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses.
There are two dedicated Hilton Honors debit cards. These are especially attractive when spending abroad due to the 0% or 0.5% FX fee, depending on card.
SPECIAL OFFER: Until 14th August 2025, the sign-up bonus on the Hilton Honors Plus debit card is TRIPLED to 30,000 Hilton Honors points. You will also receive Gold Elite status in Hilton Honors for as long as you hold the card. Click here for our full card review and click here to apply.
You also receive FREE Hilton Honors status for as long as you hold the debit cards – Gold status with the Plus card and Silver status with the basic card. This is a great reason to apply even if you rarely use it.
