AMEX Membership Rewards credit cards

American Express Membership Rewards can be transferred to Hilton Honors at a 1:2 ratio. This means every 1,000 AMEX Points you transfer to your Hilton Honors account will give you 2,000 Hilton Honors Points.

American Express credit cards offer high earning rates that can net you the equivalent of 4X to 10X Hilton Honors points per $1 spent across popular everyday categories. They also offer high intro bonuses that can net you a significant amount of points thanks to the 1:2 transfer ratio.
