Great Video!
Can you combine points between the Normal Hilton Honors Amex and the business Hilton Honors card?
I saved this video when it first came out but wasnt ready to apply. Just applied for the base card and will follow follow the steps. Thanks!
Thank you…
Sebastian, it's been awhile since you posted the video. Would having the business Hilton card interfere with this strategy? I'm thinking of getting it first because of Chase's 5/24 and then later getting the personal ones. I also understand the business version is relatively easy to get – as business cards go anyway. Any info on that?
If I already booked my stay at Hilton through travel agent, but used my Amex platinum card, not through Amex travel, will I still get room upgrade at Hilton?
So, before I got more into points, I got the no fee card, upgraded to Surpass (I don't think it was even called that then lol), then to Aspire (thought I was so clever lol). So from my understanding, I'm dead in the water, I can't just apply for the Surpass? My husband had the Surpass and downgraded a few years ago, can he still apply for the Aspire? He still has his no fee account.
I'm confused
I can't get the Platinum bonus if I do the Hilton cards first??
The Amex 4-card slot policy makes this mission impossible
Hilton Malta
Hey Sebby. I work for the airlines. So flying is covered. What is the hotel card you would go with?
Nice video. So what would the best strategy if you don't have any American Express Hilton cards and will be doing alot of traveling in 6-8mos? I can focus on spend specifically on these cards to get the bonus. Traveling to Vegas end of Oct and would have like to try the lounge with Aspire but will apply for the no AF first if it maximizes bonus
Recall Newsom!
FYI the free night for the aspire has limitations, it is only for standard rooms. I tried to book a free night in bora bora, but was told that they classify all of their rooms as premium rooms and my certificate wouldn't work.
I just got the surpass card $0 intro how can I take advantage since I didn't get the regular one first
My upgrade for the no af card after a year is only for the aspire card but w/o the upgrade bonus. Card only 🙁
Hi Sebby
Quick question regarding Amex Hilton Card, I am on path of following strategy suggested by in your guide. Got my Amex Hilton Honor & Surpass in April of this year. Got approved without a glitch, now after 6 months I am trying to apply for Aspire and getting a popup regarding not eligible for Welcome Bonus. I never had Aspire before so not sure how long should i wait more before I can get qualified for this bonus. I am not putting any spend on Honors as its not earning enough points, Surpass I am putting about 500 a month as I have other cards which earns better reward. Any suggestion to get off their pop up banner
Thanks
Prem
Do upgrade offers expire like if I get the no AF card then wait like 5 years and want to upgrade to surpass will still be eligible for an upgrade offer?
I planning to take my whole family to Hawaii on March I trying to get Hilton credit cards so we can stay in one of their properties. I applied for the surpass when can I apply for the no annual fee also the aspire?
Thanks!
Love your videos
@Ask Sebby I'm in the process of doing your advanced play here. Aspire was my first card. Then the HH card. Last was Surpass. After the year, I downgraded my Aspire a couple months ago to HH. Just today, downgraded my Surpass to HH. Question, when would you expect me to get an upgrade offer? And, if I get one, do you see a problem with upgrading all 3 at the same time, even though the Aspire & Surpass are newly downgraded? Thanks for all you do. By the way, I have my wife on the same plan about 4 months behind me. 🙂
