American Express Hilton Ascend 125,000 Point No Lifetime Language Offer

It’s a trap!

Is a Hilton Business No lifetime language next? Fingers crossed.

Man, the earlier post on the no fee card has me wanting to get it and the 75k points, then get another upgrade offer to the Ascend. I have had them all including Surpass and the Citi no fee Hilton. Currently only have Aspire.

Just got the 150k offer in the mail, and seems to be as well a NLL. Doesn’t say anywhere about having had the card before.

Are most PP limited to 10 entries?
The Sapphire reserve and Amex platinum are unlimited aren’t they?

for example, if you applied for one or more cards to obtain a welcome offer(s) that we did not intend for you

Sounds like It’s really possible for Amex to clawback the welcome bonus?

Darn I’m already 2/90 with amex

By the way my Fiancé had a financial review. She only earned 4K last year. I encouraged her to send in the IRS authorization form they requested (nothing to lose). They lowered all 6 cards to 3K limits. I was so glad… (FRs are not as scary as initially thought).

“If we in our sole discretion determine that you have engaged in abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with the welcome offer in any way or that you intend to do so (for example, if you applied for one or more cards to obtain a welcome offer(s) that we did not intend for you; if you cancel or downgrade your account within 12 months after acquiring it; or if you cancel or return purchases you made to meet the Threshold Amount), we may not credit Hilton Honors Bonus Points to your account. We may also cancel this Card account and other Card accounts you may have with us.”

I didn’t want to risk this, so I went ahead and got the Amex Hilton Business for 125k (plus 15k MR from my personal Plat self-referral). Like Ascend, it has 6x points on gas (and wireless bills too). Unlike Ascend, I have never had it.

I was at my 5 credit card limit so in order to get this card, I had to cancel one card (AMEX always makes this easy, I apply, it goes pending, so I call and tell them I’ll can cancel ___ card if I can get the new card). I happily canceled the Bonvoy Business (old SPG Biz). I barely use it or Marriott since the merger, so it’s win-win.

How are these links released? It’s unusual for Amex to not be aware of a promotion without proper language. These are deliberate, to gain more information. Trap.

I went ahead and took the gamble and applied for this card. I have had it in the past but did not currently hold it. Cards arrived in the mail today. Had a chat with Amex support, and they confirmed the 125k point bonus on the account. We will see if it will post! A data point for everyone

I applied two days ago, but after instant approval, I tried to get a temporary number and the system froze. I never received an email about the application like I usually would. Nothing is showing up when I go the Amex Application checker. I’m going to wait a week or two to see if I get the card in the mail. Anyone else have this issue?

I currently have 4 other Amex cards, but don’t want eyes on this app, as I have held the Surpass (and every other Hilton card) in the past, so I won’t be calling to speak with anyone.

Applied for both the Hilton Ascend and the NAF for player 5 within minutes of each other. Got temp card number, used to meet min spend in minutes, points posted within a few days to my hilton account all before I even received the cards. 200k there. Now to churn through the rest of the 4 players.

Have had 3 Surpass previously. Applied via above, got card, met min spend day I got card, got 125K points two days later
