Hilton Honors Business Card fees

Annual Fee

The Hilton Honors Business Card has an annual fee of $195. See Rates & Fees

The annual Hilton Honors credit should easily cover the cost of the fee, but in my opinion the earning rates on this card is pretty solid. If you're making regular (business) purchases across the card, you'll be earning a great return.

Authorized User Fee

There is no fee to add authorized users to the Hilton Honors Business Card. Adding employees can help you earn Hilton Honors points faster.

Foreign Transaction Fee

The Hilton Honors Business Card has a 0% foreign transaction fee. That makes this an excellent option for earning Hilton Honors points on international shopping and travel.
