Hilton has teamed up with Currensea to introduce two new debit cards, incorporating Hilton Honors benefits and leveraging open banking technology for seamless transactions.
The Hilton Honors Debit Card, with a €60 annual fee, offers 0.5pc foreign exchange fees, 1 point per €1 spent on regular purchases, and an upgrade to Silver status, plus a bonus of 3,500 points for spending €1,000 abroad by November 30.
The Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card, costing £150 annually and incurring no foreign exchange fees, provides 1.5 points per €1 on daily spending, an upgrade to Gold status, and a bonus of 12,000 points for spending €2,500 abroad by November 30.
The cards can be used worldwide wherever Mastercard is accepted, featuring Mastercard Chargeback Protection, and aim to enhance the travel experience for Hilton Honors members by allowing them to earn points and enjoy elite status perks.
Heather Laverne, vice president and head of international co-brands, Hilton, shared: “These cards will be a game-changer for guests and Hilton Honors members who can now earn Hilton Honors points on their everyday spending and unlock more stays and benefits at Hilton properties around the world. “These industry-first cards not only reward with Hilton Honors points but also elite status and associated travel benefits, including spa discounts and free reward stays. They are a fantastic choice for savvy travellers who can save on their overseas transactions whilst also experiencing the benefits that the Hilton and our trusted partners offer. “We look forward to welcoming new travellers to experience the benefits that the Hilton Honors loyalty programme provides.”
