Our Verdict
Previously the best offer was 130,000 points or 75,000 points + $100. This deal is better unless you value Hilton points at more than 0.33¢ each (or if you don’t plan to stay at a Hilton property to get the $100 credit but in that case it might make sense to just wait on a different offer in the longer term). We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

Available again via referral. This time only 100k points, no $100 statement credit.
Is there a way to turn the statement credits into a gift card or hilton points?
Looks like it's been downgraded to 80k only now.
“You are not eligible to receive the
welcome offer.
We have not yet performed a credit check.
Would you still like to proceed?”
Never in my life have I gotten a Hilton card. Weird

Same thing here. Strange.
Just think...this SUB is better than the SUB I got on my Aspire card at launch. smh
I submitted my application and it said I wasn't eligible for the Welcome Offer. It said I could cancel the application and they wouldn't do a credit check. No idea why I'm not eligible.

Is it possible you're running into the issue discussed in this FT thread? https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/american-express-membership-rewards/1913138-amex-usa-restricts-bonus-based-number-accounts-opened-closed-june-2018-a.html
I got the same message and I never have applied for this card before. Does anybody know what other reasons? Thanks.
Amex has a one time only for its cards… did you get this card b4?

Nice. its showing up for the referrals too.
100,000 hilton points at best will get you 3 nights in hamptons.
Try leaving the country.
There is a better Surpass offer for 130K pts / $2K spend and waived AF in the first year.

You quoted an expired offer on the no-AF Hilton card, I was talking about the current offer on the Surpass card.
