American Express SPG Luxury Approved !

I have been eye balling this card since the day it came out, I checked every 2 days, and today it showed "Pre-Approved" vs. "Looking to expand your membership". Currently a Lifetime Platinum member with Marriott so the 100,000 Points was a no brainier.

Lifetime Platinum and Diamond with Hilton Aspire Card.

Well done! Having just picked up the AMEX SPG Luxury card as well, I've now got my sights set on the AMEX Hilton Aspire card. Like you, I enjoy having the benefits of top-tier status when I stay at Hilton and Marriott hotels...

I've had the Hilton Ascend card for several years and could upgrade anytime. But I'm holding out for the 100,000 Hilton HHonors point upgrade bonus offer from AMEX....

Congrats!!!

I see you have a few Amex cards with $450 AF. I'm curious to know what type of positive value you are getting from each card?

Great Question !!

I will try to explain it the best I can.

Delta Reserve - the free First Class companion class and the Delta lounge pays for itself, besides the other benfits.

Hilton Aspire - $250 Airline Credit ( which I used already ) Free Weekend night, $250 Resort Credit and $100 Statement credit - but the DIAMOND status pays for itself- TRUST ME

SPF Luxury - $300 Statement credit and the Free Night will pay for it self.

As you can see, it is worth it to me as my wife and I travel alot.

Thank you for the question and i hope this helps.
