The Offer
This direct link might work (look on the left side)
- Add an additional person to your Hilton HHonors card from American Express and receive 10,000 points
The Fine Print
- Must add a cardholder using the e-mailed links
- Valid until July 20th, 2016
- Allow 6-8 weeks for your bonus points to post
- Additional cardholders must be at least 15 years of age
Our Verdict
There is no fee to add an additional cardholder, just keep in mind authorized user accounts do count towards the Chase 5/24 rule. That being said this is an easy way to score 10,000 bonus points. There are also increased sign up bonuses on both the American Express Hilton cards currently (share your referral links in this linked post):
- American Express Hilton HHonors (No Annual Fee) 75,000 Points Offer Returns
- American Express Hilton Surpass 100,000 Point Bonus Offer Returns

Spend 250 on each additional user card to get 5k each.
ah dangit missed out on this, and the offer expired… hoping this comes back, so subbing.
Thanks for the heads-up! 10,000 more for adding a family member. Much appreciated!
@Nil. Never mind. I see the points posted within 2 days.
Anyone know if you can get this bonus more than once for adding multiple AUs?
Just as a side note…that chase authorized user thing may not be a hard rule…I had an analyst offer to check my card openings if he omitted all the authorized user cards! I was still over and he couldn’t approve me anyway unfortunately.

How long after you added the AU did it take for the points to post to you HHonors account?
@Nill, how long did it take for the points to post to your account after you added the authorized user?
Sorry…what is the chase 5/24 rule???
I’d like to add my wife, but I’m trying to keep her under the Chase 5/24 so we can get more Chase cards in the future. It’s a shame that Chase counts AU in their 5/24 rule.
Woohoo!! Make sure you login to your Amex account and then open that link. That’s how I got it to work for me. Added my mom, 10k points coming! Thanks Doc!!
is there a credit pull on the AU’s ssn?
thanks,

This was my question as well. So the issue of the 5/24 rule would apply to the AU not myself. Correct?
