There are two cards, Citi Hilton HHonors Visa Signature and Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve. Signature has no AF. Reserve carries a $95 AF and somewhat better rewards. Whether either of them are useful to you depends on the extent of your patronage of Hilton Hotels. I have the Signature card and am quite pleased with it.

You can read about both of them here:

I have 2 of the Citi HHH Siggy cards and the Reserve card.  The reserve card gets you 2 free weekend nights after you spend $2500 in 4 months and continuous gold status as long as you have the card (and 2 free stays on the anniversary of the card after a spending threshold but I can't remember what that is).  The Citi HHH Siggy cards I honestly got for the sign-up bonuses but you do get points for every dollar you spend:

6 HHonors Bonus Points per $1

spent on hotel stays within Hilton Worldwide portfolio 

3 HHonors Bonus Points per $1

spent at supermarkets, drugstores & gas stations 

2 HHonors Bonus Points per $1

spent on all other purchases2

copy and pasted that because I couldn't remember and there is no annual fee.  You do earn more points with the Amex Surpass though (but here's an annual free).

OP:  Just remember that HHonors points are not worth as much as a Chase Ultimate Rewards or Citibank ThankYou point.  Seeing point/$ ratios in the previous post can be a little misleading.  Don't get me wrong the HHonors points themselves are great, IF you're going to keep them with Hilton and not try to do anything else with them.

I just got a email with a offer to apply for the Amex Hilton hhonors credit card.

Is that offer a pre approval or just a random offer?

The Amex based emails are for Honors or Surpass AMEX cards. I get those b/c I stay at Hiltons often and I am in the hotels HH club. My utilization should be down new 1% in a few more days, then I'll putt for the AMEX Surpass card. I also got an AMEX back date to 98 through my business cards so my hope is that when I app for the AMEX surpass my overall AAoA will skyrocket helping my Fico to rise as well. Looking to app for the Citic Honors reserve after I see the effects of the backdaing. I got a mail pre-approval for that card last month. Just wanted to get my personal FICO score built as high as possible before apping for the Citi Reserve version.
