We Ran the Math: Amex Gold + Hilton Surpass = 334,000 Points for $91 Out of Pocket

We stacked the Amex Gold + Hilton Honors Surpass credit card for our family of 5 — and the math hit 334,000 Hilton Honors points in a single year at an effective out-of-pocket cost of just $91. Here's how we did it. After Hyatt's devaluation, we needed a parallel hotel points engine. The combined annual fee is $475 — but between $200 in Hilton statement credits, $100 in Resy credits, and $84 in Dunkin' credits, we offset $384 of that. What's left is $91 for 334,000 points worth ~$2,004 in Hilton stays for a family of 5.
