Amex and Hilton Launch First Hilton Honors Credit Card in Canada with Gold Status and 70,000-Point Offer

American Express and Hilton have introduced the first Hilton Honors credit card in Canada, marking a significant expansion of their partnership. The new card offers automatic Hilton Honors Gold status, a welcome bonus of up to 70,000 points, and a free night reward after meeting spending requirements. Cardholders also earn points on everyday purchases, which can be redeemed for stays at Hilton properties worldwide. This launch provides Canadian travelers with a direct way to accelerate their rewards and enjoy elite benefits like room upgrades and late checkout. The card carries an annual fee, but the included perks may offset the cost for frequent Hilton guests. As travel demand rebounds, this card aims to capture loyalty among Canadian consumers seeking premium hotel rewards without needing a U.S.-issued card. It represents a key step in Hilton’s strategy to deepen engagement in the Canadian market.
