The Offer
No direct link to offer, sent out via e-mail. Subject line appears to be ‘News Tip: Earn up to 40,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points’ Sent by ‘[email protected]’
- American Express is offering existing Hilton Aspire cardholders a bonus of 20,000 Hilton points when they spend $2,000 by December 25th, 2018
The Fine Print
- Must register first
- Deal can be done two times for up to 40,000 total points
Our Verdict
Basically an extra 10x points per $1 spent if you spend exactly $2,000/$4,000. Good deal and worth doing if you were targeted.
Hat tip to reader Justin B & Eyes On The Points
My 10k x2 20k points just posted 1/2/19, my billing cycle has not ended yet.
After spending the first 10k (20k for other ppl), do you receive a email from amex telling you just used a offer?
My No-Fee HH card was targeted
Already spent $2k, twice = $4k total
Statement closed and I received normal spending points for the purchases; no email referencing that I used an offer; no 40k HH points yet.
recieved the 10k for grocery spend of 200 when statement closed, but not the 10k points for 1k spend.
Didn’t receive these bonus points either
How long is it taking for this to post?

got 40k bonus on account yesterday ” Aspire Bonus points” not sure if this is the 2k spend x2 or my 2x referral
Registered for it, spent more than $1000, but did not get the points. Was told to wait 2 months after December. Now spent $2000, highly doubt I will get the points automatically if I don’t contact customer service again.
Anyone’ bonus for this posted yet?
I received both offers: 20K on my Ascend (up to 2x) and 10K on my no-fee basic (up to 2x). I have only had both cards since last Dec-Jan. I have not put any spend on the basic beyond what was needed to get the sign-on bonus. I have used the Ascend quite a bit, to get the $15K free night. Both my wife and mother have both cards – used just to get the sign-on bonus, and neither of them got the offer.
Going to be hard to do $6K spend by 12/25, when I am working min spend on three other cards… Thinking about paying estimated taxes with these cards. 6.5% – about 2% would still net me 4.5%.
Even tho it says no gift cards, has anyone tried buying GCs via gift cards dot com recently or with the same past offer to see if it will trigger the bonus pts?
Had the same question re. gift card purchases. Yet buying stuff via gc.com seems like an ez red flag for any luring “rats.”
I was thinking though to buy at least some gc’s via grocery stores, mixed with other purchases perhaps. Besides, on my amex nf hilton card, that’s another 5x base bonus.
As far as gift card spend, would hotel branded gift cards bought via the brand also likely be disallowed as spend?
Received this offer on my Ascend card. I also have the upgrade offer from AMEX to the Aspire card which I have been thinking about doing. Would I be able to double count on each card’s bonus spending requirement if I upgraded?
