Hilton Aspire Major Fail

kudosalert — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 05:53:49 GMT

Left the garden after only 4 months

The Aspire has an offer for zero annual fee for the 1st year right now. I was going to wait for 12 months since I already have the Hilton Surpass but couldnt pass up on the offer.

Pre-Approved wording within my account so went for it. Approved, but it timed out before I could get my digital card number and see my SL.

Waiting for it to show up in my account/receive the email confirmation. The online site shows that my app was approved. Will be interesting to see if this is an error since the offer is just too good. I have all the screen shots but hopefully wont have to fight them over this.

You must've just squeaked in. That being said, there was discussion on whether this was an error and whether Amex would honor the first year AF waiver. Being that they shut it down so fast but you were approved, I'm thinking they'll chalk it up to your lucky timing and let you and any others who jumped on it keep it. Congrats - that's HUGE value!

Yup, keeping my fingers crossed still. I'll relax when I can see my new card member agreement with the 1st year waived.

Got my card details. Zero annual fee first year as stated in card agreement. Seems legit.

Was worried for a bit there

Congrats! Love my Aspire. It's already worth it's weight in gold from the benefits I have gotten so far in my now 1+ years of having it.

Time to call Amex a shift some CL around. My Surpass has over 4x the limit as my Aspire...

Amex Hilton Aspire

Approved and received my card member agreement. It says "$0 for the first year, then $450".

I also read the threads about account closings as well. I just use my cards and pay on time. Have never referred myself or try to get the subs multiple times on the same card.

Card expedited by UPS. Should get it today or tomorrow.

Congrats on the offer!

I thought about it since I've been contemplating the Surpass. But I'm in no hurry to press Amex's claw back machine, considering all the crackdowns lately.
