A $550 annual fee credit card with no lounge access is just crazy. What this tells me is that theirs another annual increase ($650) coming to this card that will include unlimited Priority Pass Select access.
I'm a fan of the changes myself. Both cards provide great value if you can maximize the perks/benefits and are a Hilton loyalist. Thanks for the info + video!
I tried to apply for this card the day it was announced and I got the Amex pop-up jail message. All i have is the Amex Amazon business card (that I haven't used in 1 year) and no personal amex cards. Does spend on business cards count towards pop-up jail?
It is possible that it is an issue with not spending enough on the other card you have with Amex. although it sounds a little weird. Personally I would call them to get a definite answer, maybe they can clear things up and help you get the card
TPG posted 2 days ago that there are data pts in the Surpass hotel quarterly credits that you can buy Hilton gift cards online... this approach can help you stack 3 $50 Hilton GCs when you stay at Hilton in the 4Q of every year
Just united airlines travel bank the airline credit of 50$ for every quarter to end up with 200$ saved at the end of the year. You have 5 years until it expires. So you can just save it up for 1000$ before the 5 year expiration and buy flight tickets.
There's some irony in that they changed to airline credit from 1 flight annually to 4, yet took away airline lounge access.
Yeah, its super annoying in my opinion.
$200 airline flight credit DOES work on United Travelbank.

Thank you! Yes I think the changes make sense.

If I buy something internationally, would it get 3x on everything else with the Hilton cards?
I believe so, but I could be wrong. It would be worth contacting Amex to find out for sure.
