The American Express Business Platinum card has added a new $200 benefit – get $50 credit per quarter at Hilton properties. The benefit requires enrollment.
Nice to see a new benefit added, one similar to what we have on the Hilton Surpass personal card. In the past, buying a $50 gift card online (with a $1.95 shipping fee) or a $50 gift card at Hilton location (if they carry it at the front desk) has worked to trigger the $50 credit.
(When you eventually use the gift card, remember to tell the front desk to run it for $50 as a credit card, not a gift card. Otherwise it causes hold issues.)
Note: we only have a couple of weeks left before the first $50 benefit expires on December 31st.
Get up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year (up to $50 per quarter) when you enroll in the $200 Hilton Statement Credit Benefit with your Business Platinum Card through American Express. Purchases must be made directly with a property in the Hilton portfolio on your Business Platinum Card. Hilton for Business membership is required. If your business does not already have a Hilton for Business account, you will be registered for one at the time you enroll in the benefit. Hilton for Business offers additional travel value such as access to discounted rates, travel management tools, and loyalty benefits.

How it Works
Basic Business Platinum Card Members are eligible to receive the $200 Statement Credit Benefit. Basic Card Member must have a valid Hilton Honors account and must be registered in the Hilton for Business program to be eligible. For questions on Hilton Honors, including on how to register for the Hilton Honors program, please contact Hilton at 1-800-4HONORS (800-446-6677) or go to https //www hilton com/en/hilton-honors/join/ to enroll.If Card Members are not already registered in the Hilton for Business program, they will be registered in the Hilton for Business program when they enroll in the $200 Statement Credit Benefit. If a Card Member already has an existing Hilton for Business Account tied to the Hilton Honors number entered, they will be enrolled in the $200 Statement Credit Benefit only.To enroll in the $200 Statement Credit Benefit, the Basic Card Member must enter their existing Hilton Honors number and select “enroll now”. In order to successfully complete your registration, your full name, email address, or phone number must match on both your American Express Card Account and Hilton Honors Account.Enrollment is not effective until the customer has received an email or letter from American Express confirming enrollment; any Hilton purchases prior to receipt of that confirmation will not qualify for the benefit. If you believe you’ve enrolled but haven’t received an email or letter, please call the number on the back of your Card.Card Members who are registered for the Hilton for Business program through the $200 Statement Credit Benefit enrollment process will receive an email from Hilton welcoming them to the Hilton for Business program that includes program details and a link to complete their Hilton for Business account profile.Once enrolled, the Card Account can receive up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year (up to $50 quarterly) for eligible purchases charged directly with Hilton.Eligible purchases by both the enrolled Basic Card Member and Employee Card Members on the enrolled Card Account are eligible for statement credit. However, each Card Account is only eligible for up to $50 in statement credits per quarter for a total of up to $200 per calendar year across all Cards on the enrolled Card Account.Statement credits are typically received within a few days but may take up to 8-12 weeks after a booking has been paid.
