5% back on Hilton stays with new Amex Offer [targeted]

There’s another, targeted Amex Offer out that is good for 5% back on Hilton stays. You’ll need to enroll if targeted, though I am not terribly excited about this one given the fact that we’ve seen offers good for a much higher percentage as compared to spend. Still, if you have a very expensive Hilton stay coming up, the $100 cap here could be handy.

Quick Thoughts

The extra 5% here is nice enough if it fits your travel patterns and needs, but it isn’t enough to make me consider changing my plans. That’s particularly true for those of us who have a Hilton card offering 12-14x at Hilton properties. I did not find this Hilton offer on our Hilton cards but rather only on other Amex cards in our household. We would therefore be giving up a greater-than-5% return in terms of Hilton points using a Hilton credit card in favor of this statement credit offer.

Still, given that this offer is essentially good for up to $100 back on $2,000 in spend, I imagine that there may be some folks, particularly those who do not have a Hilton credit card, who may be happy enough to put a little extra cash in their pockets. If that’s you, don’t forget that enrollment is required, so you’ll have to be sure to add the Amex Offer. Just be sure that you’ll be using it domestically as the offer is only valid at Hilton locations in the US and US territories.
