[Targeted] American Express Hilton Cards: Earn 1,000 Base Points For Every $1,000 In Spend (30k Points Max)

Update 8/17/20: Some people also have an additional part of the offer where you get a free night certificate after spending $5,000.

The Offer

Targeted offer

• Some American Express Hilton cardholders have an offer for ‘Earn 1,000 base points each time you spend $1,000, up to 30,000 points’

The Fine Print

• Valid until 12/18/2020
• Points will post within 12 weeks following the end of the billing cycle in which they were earned
• Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, cash advances, purchases of traveler’s checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, purchases of gift cards, person-to-person payments, or purchases of any cash equivalents.

Our Verdict

These are base points, so they do count towards things like lifetime status. An extra 1x Hilton point per $1 spent isn’t that attractive of an offer as far as I’m concerned, but might be of interest to some people especially if you’re working towards a free night certificate on the Surpass or Aspire card, working towards lifetime status or already spending money on the bonus categories.
