Our Verdict
60k bonus was due to expire at the end of December, but it looks like it was extended. Personally I don’t value Hilton points at 0.5¢ a piece so I prefer the $50 statement credit offer. Both of these offers are as high as I’ve seen these bonuses
Hat tip to Running With Miles
Called in, they are going to review it. The rep have me 3000 points just because. Worth a try!
Just applied for the 50k points and $50 card on Hilton’s site while reserving a room. Got the following message and I’m not sure if it was unique to me or if their system is partially down today. I wanted to pass this along for others to see if they can get this additional bonus.
“You have been approved for a Hilton HHonorsTM Card from American Express and you will receive your new Card in the mail in 1-3 business days.
Since you were unable to use your temporary credit limit, we will be awarding you $85 in the form of a statement credit. You will receive this statement credit within 8-12 weeks on your Card.”
Awesome! We reported this recently as well https://www.doctorofcredit.com/get-an-additional-bonus-if-american-express-doesnt-give-you-a-temporary-credit-limit/
Just tried after your message posted. I didn’t get this message. It just said I am approved.
Just chatted with them. They were able to assign a credit limit to me. :/
Serve, come back to me. All is forgiven and forgotten. Let’s have a good life together again.
+1. I have met all my Amex Minimum bonus through loading of Serve (And Shut Down also).
What’s the criteria for shutting down? My serve is still active and I have the option of loading from Amex CC. Will they shut it down if I load from Amex CC?
Can I apply for this card if I already had 4 amex cards?
If you have 4 Amex Credit Card, then no. Do not count the Charge Cards (PRG, Platinum etc) in the mix.
I do have the Premier Rewards Gold. Is there any reason to not count it?
The reason is Amex doesn’t count it. You can have a max of 4 credit cards, and an unlimited number of charge cards.
Any data points of the $50 SC disqualifying you for the $60 SC temp credit limit apology?
