American Express is offering an increased referral bonus on both the Hilton HHonors Card and Hilton Surpass Card.
You can earn extra Hilton points for each person you refer who applies and is approved for a new card.
Typically American Express sends out targeted emails to cardholders inviting them to refer friends to apply for the same card. However, you can generate your own referral link even if you have not received this email.
