Hilton Honors has been named the Best Hotel Loyalty Program and the Best Hotel Cobranded Credit Card for the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card in the third annual 2020 TPG Awards, the Readers’ Choice Awards for The Points Guy. This is the first time Hilton Honors has won for Best Hotel Loyalty Program. The Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card won Best Hotel Cobranded Credit Card in 2018 and was selected by TPG editors for Best Return on Hotel Spending at Hilton properties in 2019.

This year, The Points Guy Awards is celebrating “Travel’s Path Forward,” recognizing that the pent-up demand for travel, paired with the industry’s dedication to safety, cleanliness and the guest experience will create an incredible future.

With travelers looking forward to making vacation plans in the year ahead and beyond, the guest-centric loyalty program for Hilton’s 18-brand portfolio has made a number of industry-leading changes to provide maximum flexibility and value for its 110 million Hilton Honors members. Adjustments to the program include extending Points expiration and member status, and reducing status qualification requirements.

Hilton has also provided Hilton Honors American Express Card Members with additional flexibility, extending expiration dates on reward certificates, while making program adjustments that maximize value. Benefits of the award-winning Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card include complimentary Diamond status, up to two free weekend night rewards per year, a $250 airline fee credit and a $250 Hilton resort statement credit.

Earlier this year, Hilton Honors was recognized by the FlyerTalk Awards, winning Best Hotel Rewards Program and Outstanding Benefit for all geographic regions.
