Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card – 15,000 Bonus Points + Instant Gold Status

Overview

The Hilton Honors Plus debit card is issued by Currensea and links to your existing UK current account via open banking — no new bank account needed. It earns Hilton Honors points on everyday spend, grants instant Hilton Gold status for as long as you hold the card, and pays a welcome bonus of 15,000 points when you spend £2,500 in foreign currency within 12 months.

How to Claim

1. Click the link on this page and apply for the Plus card, linking your existing UK current account via open banking.
2. Gold status is granted instantly when you activate the card.
3. Spend £2,500 in foreign currency within 12 months of card membership — abroad or on overseas online purchases.
4. Your 15,000 bonus points are credited to your Hilton Honors account.

Requirements

• UK resident with an active current account at a supported UK bank, registered for online or mobile banking
• £150 annual fee (Plus card)
• £2,500 of foreign-currency spend within 12 months for the welcome bonus

Important Terms

• The welcome bonus is 15,000 points, only paid once you hit £2,500 of foreign-currency spend within 12 months
• Earns 1.5 points/£1 in GBP, 3 points/£1 outside the UK and at UK Hiltons, up to 4.5 points/£1 at Hiltons abroad
• 5 Elite Qualifying Nights per £5,000 of eligible spend (max 30 a year)
• 10,000-point renewal bonus if you spend £10,000+ in a year and renew
• Foreign-currency spend uses the real-time exchange rate + 0.5% fee; ATM withdrawals abroad 0.5%, with a 2.5% fee above a monthly limit
• Gold status = free continental breakfast for two, space-available room upgrades, 80% bonus points on stays
• Cheaper standard card: £60 a year, Silver status, 5,000 bonus points for £1,000 of foreign-currency spend within 12 months

Tips

• Hilton points are typically worth around 0.4p each, so the 15,000-point bonus is worth roughly £60 — well short of the £150 fee on its own; the card only pays off if you'll use Gold breakfasts and upgrades
• Time the application before a holiday so the £2,500 foreign-currency spend happens naturally
• Poor value if you rarely stay at Hilton — consider the £60 standard card or skip it
