How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards

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.

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.

We reviewed the Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card here and the Hilton Honors Debit Card here.

You can apply for either card here.

    W Florence, art from Acton – and they do it really well. It’s so easy to get cultural indigestion in Firenze, and this light, understated decor comes as a relief from all that. I’d love to get a foot in the door, sometime.

    So the “sale” is a discount off the flexible rate … but isn’t flexible.

  • ColinThames says:

    Am confused. I visited a W hotel in Florence many years ago. It had a nice bar high up with a small terrace with views over the Arno river and the fabulous bridge. Is this a new W or a refurb?

    A review of the Fellows house Curio in Cambridge would be great.
