American Express have just released a tempting offer for Hilton stays, offering 3,000 Membership Rewards points to Amex Gold and Amex Platinum cardholders who sign up to the offer and spend £250 with Hilton before 3 November 2017.
How to benefit from the free Amex points
You simply need to log in to your Amex Gold or Amex Platinum online account, select “Offers tailored to you” and then add the offer to your account. Then just book with Hilton directly, as normal, and the points will be added to your Amex account – normally within five days of qualifying spend, but potentially at any time up to 90 days from 3 November 2017.
If you’re not already an Amex Gold or Amex Platinum member, you can sign up here.
How good is this offer?
While not quite as enticing as the previous Amex/Hilton offer of £50 off a £250 spend, this is nevertheless a decent points haul, and the flexibility of Membership Rewards makes them a great loyalty point currency to have. They are convertible into, amonsgt many other things, a host of airline and hotel loyalty schemes.
As an example, 3,000 MR points gets you 6,000 Hilton points:
Note that while I was offered 3,000 points, your offer may have been different – if so, by all means let us know in the comments.
No sign of the offer on either my BA card or Platinum 🙁
Phone Amex! They’re very good at adding offers that haven’t appeared.
I tried online chat and got “This offer was targeted, but I will pass your comments on to our marketing team for future consideration”. 🙁
If we get time, I will ask my wife to call the platinum helpline tomorrow and see if they can help us out. I’m staying twice with Hilton next week!
Is there any other Hilton promotions this can be doubled up with at the same time to maximise points collection if you have to spend £250 or more on rooms.
Dear Miles, thanks SO much for alerting me to this!! We have a Doubletree stay at the airport booked literally tomorrow night, we will easily spend £250 as we have the 15 night parking package & will have dinner there etc. What a lovely additional bonus & million thanks again – Nxxxxx
Thanks Naomi – what lovely feedback 🙂
Ah the feedback is well-deserved!!
I think it was Joe D who said quite recently, there’s nothing like the feeling of benefitting from an additional promotion when it’s something you’d already booked anyway?
The joys of travel hacking!!
Thx so much everyone:)) xxxxx
