The previous best offer that I was aware of for a Hilton American Express was ‘up to 52,500 points’ as a signup bonus: 10,000 bonus points at first purchase, 2,500 bonus points for each of your first four Hilton stays charged to the card, 30,000 bonus points for spending $1,500 on the card within 3 months of approval, and 2,500 bonus points for adding a free additional cardholder to the account.
Now they’ve upped the ante a bit more with basically the same offer but an extra 10,000 Hilton points with first purchase, for a total of 20,000, bringing the total signup offer to ‘up to 62,500 points’.
Ok, Ok, I went ahead and applied for 1 also. When I rec’d the card, of course the printed material they sent said nothing about the 30k on $1500 spend. So I called them. Amex CSR could not track what promotion it was – their advice was to wait to see if the points post properly. Pretty shabby – lets hope the copy I made of the offer page in your link holds up.
I applied for this also called about the bonus points when I received the card. Today I received a letter from AMEX saying that I was not targeted for a promotional offer, to send a copy of the solicitation showing my name and address and they would further look into the issue.
