Our Verdict
Great deal if targeted, especially if you’re already spending towards the annual free night certificate anyway.
Hat tip to MtM
I log into my Hilton honors account and I see the free night certificate there, and it says it’s ready to use. But I was never emailed a code or anything about it by Hilton. Anyone else having the same problem?
Got my Hilton “spend $8000” free night cert just now via email at only $5800 of spend since enrollment on November 19th. I have $8000 of spend going back to November 1. May be a DP for spend counting since November 1.
Interesting, I had to contact Amex and the spend I made the first day (maybe within an hour) didn’t count.
Still no certificate in sight…
certificate posted today according to exp date
Got my cert and half the cert number is X is that correct? its like cert # “XXXXXX1234”
any additional dps on how soon the certificate posts? Been 7 days since meeting 8k spend
I’m waiting for last 10 days now.
Anybody else get *two* free nights from this deal? I was targeted, met the $8K spend within a week or so, and two “Amex $8K Spend Free Night Reward” awards posted to my Hilton account a few days later.
that’s the way to do it. You got 1 for the 8K spend, and one because you spent over 15K for the year. Lump of coal here, not targeted.
Got this online via PC browser on my upgraded Surpass card.
I received a targeted mailer 10 days ago, but when I go to the offer and click enroll, I receive the message: “This page is temporarily unavailable. We’re sorry. Our systems are currently unavailable and we are unable to enroll your Card at this time. Please try again later.” I have been trying everyday for 10 days with no luck. I’ve tried both input options. The offer also shows up when I sign in to my Aspire account. Using that link I get the same message. I have tried different browsers and a mobile app but nothing works. Called customer service the other day and they submitted a ticket. Could take up to 60 days to fix.
Any idea how to see a running total of your spending? I’ve tried to chat with Amex and can’t get a response.
MaxRewards App is great for this.
Would be nice if there was a tracker for this instead of the ol fashioned way
There is a tracker for the $15,000 or $60,000 needed to earn a free night (depending on card type). Just register for the offer, write down the existing tracker level, and add $8,000 to that and you will know what you need to get to.
Once you hit $15000 for the year the tracker stops showing.
