The Offer
- American Express are offering a free weekend night at any Hilton when you spend $1,000 or more before December 15th, 2016 on the no annual fee American Express Hiton card.
The Fine Print
- Must register for the promotion and not everybody is eligible
Our Verdict
Pretty great promotion if you’re targeted, perfect for a one night getaway or staycation. Unfortunately it seems the vast majority of people are not targeted, I’m also a bit surprised there is nothing for surpass cardholders as typically these promotions are targeted towards people who have their annual fee due shortly and obviously this Hilton card does not have an annual fee.
Hat tip to Money Metagame
Any idea if AU spending will count?
To clarify, I meant AU spending for the main card holder with the offer.. any datapoints?
DP:
Enrolled on 10/4, finished spending on 10/5. The free night was sent via email today (10/11).
since when no fee hilton became 5X on gas/grocery/restaurant? which makes surpass one not too much marginally better
Got the offer on 1 of 3 family cards. Thanks for alerting us!
More than welcome
got the offer but hubby didn’t.
I received the promotional offer and registered. However, I can’t find anywhere on the registration page or on the email confirmation when the free weekend night has to be used by or what restrictions if any apply such as only good in the United States or excludes certain hotels etc. Also, the terms & conditions state you will receive the free weekend night 6-8 weeks after the promo ends while the email confirmation states “The Free Weekend Night Certificate will be sent as an email from Hilton to the email address listed on your Hilton HHonors? account, 6-8 weeks after you meet the spend requirement.” As such, when do you think I will receive the free night certificate. Do you have any information on this by chance?
No idea, unfortunately! I think the free weekend night will be valid for one year from date of issue and the standard restrictions tho
Wife got the offer, I did not. Any idea when the certs are issued, where they’re valid, and when they expire?
If it’s anything like the HHonors Reserve Visa weekend certificates, they arrive within 30 days of the end date and are good for one year from the issue date.
Not sure if this is new but the no-fee card now is advertised as generating 5x points at supermarkets and restaurants (versus the 6x for surpass). I am not sure if the 5x is new but it certainly makes the surpass a bit of a questionable card to keep for $75 per year.
Not new
