The verdict
On a typical year of household spending, the Hilton Honors Surpass® earns about $1,174 a year in rewards and the Sun Country Airlines® Visa Signature® Card about $409, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Hilton Honors Surpass® charges $150, but carries about $200 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. The Sun Country Airlines® Visa Signature® Card charges $89, which you clear through its rewards and perks. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Hilton Honors Surpass® delivers more total value, about $803 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and groceries. 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.
Pick the Hilton Honors Surpass® if your spending leans toward dining, groceries, gas. Pick the Sun Country Airlines® Visa Signature® Card if your spending leans toward travel.
