Cards that earn these points

Annual spending levels

Each level is a basket of annual spending split across everyday categories. The returns and the ranking are recomputed for that basket.

  • Moderate — $24,000 / year
  • Standard — $36,000 / year
  • High — $60,000 / year

In a personalized analysis, your actual spending replaces this reference basket.

Ranked by annual net value on the standard reference basket ($36,000 of spending a year), annual fees fully deducted.

Restrictions

  • Hilton publishes no fixed cash value per point; hotel award pricing varies by property and dates.

Programs do not issue the same number of points per dollar: to compare two programs, look at the return per dollar spent, not the value of a point.

How to read this ranking

The ranking compares the cards of one program on a single scenario, so the gaps come from the cards and not from the assumptions.

  • Reference basket, standard level: $36,000 of spending a year, spread over everyday categories.
  • High-spend profile: ranking calculated on the reference basket.
  • Annual fees fully deducted from the value.
  • Welcome offers excluded: only the recurring value counts.

Limitations of this page

  • Cards are ranked on the standard reference basket of a high-spend profile; your actual spending may change the order.
  • The program publishes no fixed rate: the value of a point is the most cautious estimate of a Canadian specialist, announced as such.
  • Recurring annual fees are fully deducted from each card’s value.
  • Transfer partners and rates are those read on the official pages; a program may change them without notice.
  • The value of welcome offers is not part of the card ranking.
