Pros: Great flexibility in redemption options and there is no annual fee.
Cons: The general problem of Amex cards not as widely accepted as Visa or MC.
The Bottom Line: A good and flexible program BUT you must pay in full otherwise it is almost 20% APR!

| iref123's Full Review: Hilton Credit Card (American Express) |
I have had this card since 1997, and have recently been upgraded to Platinum status. I now earn 3 points for every dollar charged to the card. The Points can be redeemed for a variety of travel options on about 20+ airlines, different car rentals, and all sorts of merchandise.
In my opinion travel rewards are the best value, especially when redeemed for long-haul flights.
My only problem is the fact that the billing date CANNOT be changed (the problem with ALL Optimas). Their bill hits me together with my Discover bill, which requires moving money between different bank accounts, etc. If you want your date changed you have to get your number changed, and I have too many automatic billings going to the card.
Their grace period is shorter than usual, just 20 days. But you can always track your purchases on the web site and not wait for the paper statement. Plus, Hilton has their own site where you can track points. Very helpful.
