The Iberia Visa Signature® Card charges $95, which you clear through its rewards and perks. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Hilton Honors Surpass® delivers more total value, about $891 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on groceries and everything else. Neither leans on transferable points, so the deciding factors are the welcome offer, the card network, and which everyday perks you will actually use. On the sign-up bonus, the Hilton Honors Surpass® currently has the larger welcome offer (a limited-time offer above its usual amount, so treat it as a one-time boost). A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
