Hilton Honors members in Mexico have a new way to earn points: Hilton, INVEX Banco, and Mastercard have just launched the first-ever Hilton Honors co-branded credit card in the country. This move marks Hilton’s first foray into the Mexican credit card market and signals a broader push to expand loyalty benefits for travelers across Latin America.
Our Take
Good news for Mexican Hilton fans. This launch finally gives travelers in Mexico a direct way to earn Hilton Honors points on everyday spending, a benefit long enjoyed by U.S. cardholders. While details on the card’s earning rates and perks are still under wraps, the move is a clear win for anyone loyal to Hilton properties in the region.
What Changed
- Hilton, INVEX Banco, and Mastercard have launched the first Hilton Honors co-branded credit card in Mexico.
- Mexican residents can now apply for a local Hilton Honors credit card for the first time.
- Card details, including earning rates and benefits, have not yet been publicly disclosed as of July 23, 2026.
Who Benefits Most
- Frequent Hilton guests in Mexico: Travelers who regularly stay at Hilton properties in Mexico can now earn Hilton Honors points more easily, potentially accelerating their path to free nights and elite status.
- Mexican residents who travel internationally: Those who visit Hilton hotels abroad will be able to earn and redeem points globally, making the program more valuable for cross-border travelers.
- Hilton Honors enthusiasts without U.S. credit history: Previously, only U.S. residents could access Hilton’s co-branded cards; this launch opens up new earning opportunities for locals.
Who Should Be Cautious
- Travelers loyal to other hotel brands: If you primarily stay at Marriott, Hyatt, or IHG properties, this new card won’t add much value to your rewards strategy.
- U.S.-based Hilton Honors members: This card is only available to Mexican residents, so there’s no new benefit for U.S. cardholders.
- Points maximizers seeking the highest value: Until the card’s earning rates and perks are revealed, it’s unclear how it will stack up against U.S. Hilton cards or other local options.
What To Do Right Now
- If you’re a Hilton Honors member in Mexico, watch for the official card details and application links from INVEX Banco and Hilton.
- Review your current hotel loyalty strategy to see if adding a Hilton card makes sense for your travel patterns.
- Sign up for Hilton Honors (if you haven’t already) to be ready to maximize any new cardholder bonuses or promotions.
- Monitor Hilton’s official channels for updates on earning rates, annual fees, and exclusive cardholder benefits.
