Wondering why my HILTON HONORS Amex doesn’t seem to get this offer….thoughts?
Lots of cards do not get the offer. We don’t know how they choose who and which cards to target.

i went and bought 5 200$GCs and and one 250$ GC and it triggered the 20% off
In one transaction, presumably. That’s sure to work.
Yes. Credits posted in just a few days. I bought just single $500 mcgc’s on a given day and $100.99 posted. I read later one should by the 3 mcgc’s in 3 transactions up to $1,250 in a single day, and you will get 2×100.99 + 1×50 statement credits, the full $250!
Good luck.
Can anyone verify if multiple same day transaction triggers the offer, or if it’s possible to buy multiple lower denomination mcgc, say 6 mcgc in one trip?
Yes, verified. You can, for example, have 3 transactions in order to spend $1250 or more and all 3 count for the Amex offer (despite the terms saying otherwise)
Question is do the 3 transactions have to be back to back? On the same date? Or can they be on different dates? Did one credit post? Or did multiple credits post?
Daniel, yes they have to be same day at the very least. It’s possible that they also have to be close in time. I’ve always done mine back to back.
Did you get multiple emails stating you qualify? I just got one, don’t know if it worked.
I’m guessing he just got the one email…
Has anyone actually gotten the credit back? Am curious as to what experiences people have had buying GCs and if they actually do get the credit.
Just bought a $500 Sam’s Club gift card, it was NOT rung up separately from my food order of $110. So I got the 20% on $610 not just $500 as was mentioned by alex.This was in the Willow Grove PA store. I will attempt $1000 on my other Starwood AMEX business card next week, again with my my combined order of food and other items.

my experience at the Secaucus NJ store was that they can only load up to $500 per Sam’s Club gift card, even though the rack says $1,000. Also, they had to ring me up separately for each one, so I couldn’t max out my bonus, only did $500 and got $100 statement credit. Next I will try to use my wife’s card and add additional grocery items to it and see if it can be rang up with the gift card together.
single transaction can be multiple items in one trip to the store?
Yes, as long as you checkout all at once with all items.
Has anyone tried an online purchase to see if it will trigger the bonus?
Not sure I’ve seen anywhere an answer to this fundamental question: if I buy $1,250 SaMS club gc’s under this promo (for the full statement credit of $250 per regisothed Amex card), can I use then use these gc’s at either SMS or ally to buy other Mastercard or visa gc’s?
I don’t know
