For most people, the bonus is actually 55k (10k+30k+$5kx3) points which is more than enough for 1 night at a luxury property that typically sells for around $500.
Green for you. This card has unique bonus catagories (cell phone bill, USPS, resturants all get 5 points each (in addition to the [maybe not so much anymore] standard gas, groceries, pharmacies)). $20k/yr [deleted] gets you (legit) HHonors Gold status.
40k points (10k bonus + 30k for $5k spend) will get you one night at some of the top Hilton Hotels which would normally cost $500/night or even higher, or 2 nights at some lower-end hotels. You can also exchange for miles, but you get the best exchange rate for hotels.

Could this be part of the continued devaluation of the program points? I know many members gave up on collecting points after they jacked up the points needed to stay at most of the lesser locations, earlier this year, I think.

Good catch.. I just fixed the title... Sorry about that
vickh said:what purchases get bonus pt.s with this card? 4When you present your Hilton HHonors account number at check-in or reservation at a participating Hilton Family hotel, you will receive your standard HHonors Base points. In addition, you will earn 5 HHonors bonus points for each eligible dollar spent on the Hilton HHonors® Platinum Credit Card from American Express for a qualified stay at a participating Hilton Family hotel. You will also receive 5 HHonors bonus points per eligible dollar at qualifying U.S. supermarkets, drugstores and gas stations that are not departments of superstores or warehouse clubs, at U.S restaurants, the U.S Postal Service and for wireless phone service (purchase, less returns).
How depressing I got this card last month, and already charged 5k on mine booo

[Calling these "miles" as you do in the title is misleading, these are points and in general Hilton points are not as valuable as airline miles.]
I used the points many times. I always stay at Hampton Inn with Opt level (7500 pts) or level 1 (10000). With three/four people stay free (totally) + breakfast buffet, it saves me a lot of money. Besides, Hampton Inn usually is rated at 3-diamond with many amenities including free wireless internet.
Not all Hampton Inn required only 7500/10000 pts. You have to search through their web site, and plan the trip early especially on peak season. You also earn 500 pts each time you booked online.
To earn more free pts, you can join e-rewards to fill survey online, and redeem $50 level with 3000 HH pts.
I tried to book an international flight using NW 600,000 miles in Aug. I found one flight available on 12/25 back in Apr, but disappeared on Aug. I had to change my schedule to spring break next year. The free flight on 3/31 Sat asked me transfer here and there, also must stay at a hotel or airport on 3/31 night. Finally I booked 3/30 Fri flight at 6:30 AM without staying hotel overnight, but still have to stay at Detroit 7 hours waiting for transfer. When my wife tried to book the same filght/schedule with 600,000 miles, it's all gone! Besides, it is not totally free, I still have to pay around $60.
For me redeem the HH pts are much better than redeem NW airlines miles.

Are you sure about highlighted? Where did you hear about it?

Looking again at what I based that on, it says 60k base points in a year, and I don't think CC points count as base points, I guess I was confusing the two since 60k lined up with $20k spending. I will edit my post to avoid confusion.
