Update 4/8/20: American Express has released the following statement via MtM:
There were limited instances where a small population of Card Members received a manual $250 Resort credit, as a prior credit they received was applied to the incorrect anniversary year.
These credits and subsequent corrections are not tied to a broader COVID 19-related relief effort, and Card Members will be receiving communications explaining the reasoning for the credit shortly if they have not already.
That reason doesn’t make any sense given the datapoints I’ve seen, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see claw backs in the future.
Original post: American Express Hilton Aspire cardholders should check their account to see if American Express has posted the $250 resort credit. I assume that American Express is doing this because there is no way people can stay at resorts at the moment. Surprising move by American Express/Hilton if I’m being completely honest. Now the real question will be if American Express claws this back in six months time or not.
For some reason this isn’t showing up on all Aspire accounts, so I wonder if it depends on when your card anniversary is?
