Our Verdict
We’ve seen a public offer of this before, hopefully that returns.This is the highest this bonus has ever been and is a good offer if you’re targeted and value Hilton points. I’d also recommend you read through these things everybody should know about American Express credit cards before applying.

I was targeted for this offer, but when I try to apply, the website doesn't work. I guess I'll send in the paper application. Also, I created n account on Hilton Honors and did some exploring on if the points were actually worth the trouble. Every hotel that I looked at said that they weren't accepting points. I looked in NYC, New Orleans, and Dallas. What's up with that?
Referrals can probably give you the right application. Send me a mail and I can give you my referral for this offer! nycdpj at gmail dot com
Is there anyway to get through to the American Express marketing team to get the 100K instead of the public offer of 75K?
I know this comes with PriorityPass but your guest must pay $27. Anyone remember the Priorty Pass rules for CSR holders?
The CSR Priority Pass has no fee for visits and no limit on guests.

I applied and they said executive office has to manually look at it since I had applied for too many cards recently.
Do you think they are freezing my points?
too many overall or too many with AMEX? give us your stats please.
if amex busts out 5/24 im gonna be so fukn pissed...
Not many. I don't know what they are talking about. I called to apply for business rewards gold at the 800# and they said someone in the executive office needs to look at my application because i am applying for too many. Wtf?
I got an 80K offer on the non-Surpass card the other day in the mail. Are you able to get the bonus for both cards (were this to become publicly available)?
Yes, it's possible. They are different products.
+1
Also wondering the same thing.
My non-Surpass offer expires 8/17/17, and I'm still on the fence.
Need a replacement for the Citi Reserve card. Missed the 100k upgrade for my regular HHonors AMEX by one day (the contract was announced the day after it expired), so I'll jump on this one if it comes (though I'd rather do an upgrade than a new account).
Note that PP membership come with this card has an entry fee of $27 per person, if I'm not mistaken
correct. PP is POS.
