Hilton Amex Offer: $40 Back on $100+ Spend (Ends 12/31/24)

If you're planning a Hilton stay before the end of the year, there's a new Amex Offer that could put $40 back in your pocket. It's straightforward: spend at least $100 on your room rate and charges at a participating Hilton property, and you'll get a $40 statement credit. But like all Amex Offers, you need to check if it's available on your card and enroll before you book. Here's what you need to know to take advantage.

How to Get the $40 Credit

First things first: this is an Amex Offer, so you need to check if it's available on your card. Log in to your American Express account and look for the 'Amex Offers' section. If you see the Hilton offer, add it to your card before you make any purchases. Offers are targeted, so not everyone will get it.

Once enrolled, book your stay directly with Hilton—either on Hilton.com, through the Hilton Honors app, or by calling 1-800-445-8667. Make sure you're staying at a participating Hilton property in the US, US territories, or Canada. Then, pay for your room rate and charges with your enrolled Amex card. After you spend $100 or more, you'll get a $40 statement credit, usually within a few days after the charge posts.

What Counts and What Doesn't

The offer applies to room rate and room charges—things like your nightly rate, taxes, and fees, as well as incidentals billed to your room. But there are some important exclusions. Advance purchase rates, including Advance Purchase, Save Now & Pay, and Non-refundable rates, won't trigger the credit. So if you booked a prepaid, non-refundable rate, you're out of luck.

Also, corporate cards are not eligible, and the offer excludes Hilton Grand Vacations brand properties and gift card purchases. And you need to pay in US dollars—so if you're staying at a Canadian property and get charged in Canadian dollars, it might not count.

Which Hilton Amex Cards Qualify?

The offer is available on several Hilton Honors American Express cards: the no-annual-fee Hilton Honors American Express Card, the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass Card, the Hilton Honors American Express Business Card, and the premium Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card. Each card has different benefits and annual fees, so if you're considering applying for one, weigh the perks against the cost.

For example, the Surpass Card currently has a welcome offer of 130,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points plus a Free Night Reward after you spend $3,000 in the first 6 months. It also comes with up to $200 in annual Hilton statement credits (up to $50 per quarter) and complimentary Hilton Honors Gold status. But it carries a $150 annual fee. Terms apply.

Stacking with Other Offers

One of the best things about Amex Offers is that you can stack them with other promotions. For instance, if you have the Surpass Card, you might also earn up to $50 in quarterly statement credits for Hilton purchases. That's on top of the $40 from this offer. Plus, you'll earn Hilton Honors points for your stay, and if you have elite status, you'll enjoy those benefits too.

Just remember that the $40 credit is a one-time thing, so use it on a single stay where you spend at least $100. If you have multiple Hilton stays before the end of the year, you can only get the credit once.
