Unfortunately all of the Citi Hilton application links are currently resulting in an error ‘A system error has caused a delay in processing your application.’ It doesn’t seem to matter what links, browser or device you use they are all erroring out. We warned readers that this might happen after Citi & Hilton pulled the cards from their respective websites so hopefully you signed up for a card if you were interesting.
This is likely a result of American Express becoming the sole issuer of Hilton cards from 2018 onwards. It might still be possible to apply by phone (1-800-514-5614) if anybody tries this and has any success (or failure) then let us know in the comments below. I was told that applications for this card are no longer being accepted. This is the end of an era, churning Citi Hilton cards used to be a rite of passage.
The next question that needs to be answered is what will happen to existing cardholders? We discuss some of the possible options in this post.
