Over the last few years banks have been cracking down on credit card churners with the addition of restrictive language, clawbacks, and arbitrary time restrictions (I’m looking at you, 5/24). American Express is one of the toughest, allowing cardholders to receive a bonus for a particular card once per lifetime, no matter how many times you open or close the card. Today the past has returned in the form of a new offer from American Express’s no-fee Hilton without the addition of the lifetime language.

The Details

  • Direct link to the offer here (not an affiliate link)
  • 75,000 bonus after $1,000 in spend in the first three months
  • Valid only for the no-fee Hilton Honors American Express Card

If you haven’t had the card yet, you can get 100,000 points after spending $1,000 in the first 3 months through this link (may pay me a commission), which is of course a better deal (This would be more, wouldn’t it), but only if you haven’t had the no-fee Hilton card before

Thoughts

I’ve already hit my maximum for American Express credit cards, otherwise I’d be all over this. There are a couple of points to note here: American Express has been known to claw back bonuses on targeted offers exploited by the public (though never, as far as I know, on a co-brand card, only for Membership Rewards), and this offer does appear to be targeted due to the language in its terms and conditions.

Do you already have the no-fee Hilton Honors Amex? Are you going to try for this?
