However, most non-hotel redemption options provide relatively low value for your points, so avoiding these low-value options is best.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, remember that Hilton allows you to <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/points-pooling-sharing-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pool your points<\/a> with up to 10 other members.

Depending on how frequently you stay at Hilton properties \u2014 and how much you value the given perks of Diamond status \u2014 this can add quite a bit of value to the card. However, there\u2019s a simpler path to Diamond status: it\u2019s an automatic perk of the Hilton Aspire card, which has a $450 annual fee (see <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/apply\/hilton-honors-american-express-aspire-card-rates-fees\/?tid=post\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rates and fees<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth pointing out that other credit cards offer complimentary Hilton Gold status, though none has an annual fee lower than the Surpass card:<\/p>\n<p>So if you already carry any of these cards, getting Hilton Gold status as a perk from the Hilton Surpass won\u2019t provide any additional value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/which-credit-card-hilton-stays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Points of View: Which credit card should you use for Hilton stays?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Priority Pass access<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"jsx-4252866712 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-3367723627 full-width-auto-height-image\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:66.640625%\"\/><img alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=640 640w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=750 750w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=828 828w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2018\/03\/Air-France-Premium-Economy-07.jpg?width=3840\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-4252866712 figcaption\">BRENDAN DORSEY\/THE POINTS GUY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Hilton Surpass comes with a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/best-credit-cards-priority-pass-lounge-access\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Priority Pass Select membership<\/a> offering 10 lounge visits per year after you enroll for this benefit.
