AMEX Hilton Honors Approval

I've been looking at the AMEX Hilton card lineup for a while. Tonight was the night I decided to app for it.

 

After placing my information, I hit submit and was quickly approved. The site didn't let me know what my SL was. I had to use the chat to find out. I did not expect the customer service rep to say it was $10K! I am thrilled, believe you and me, LOL!

 

I haven't received dings yet from Experian, Transunion, or Equifax. I guess to say the app was a soft pull.

 

For those who are looking for data points, they are listed in my signature. It's time to go to the garden for a year or two. 

April 2024: Experian 769; Equifax 779; Transunion 781

Re: AMEX Hilton Honors Approval

Congrats on your approval! Because you already have the BCP, they likely won't HP you again. I've gone through 8 or 9 AmEx cards over the last 4 years and have only received 1 pull. It's a known thing that they tend to only pull you for your first card, and for future cards it's only a SP.

Re: AMEX Hilton Honors Approval

Congrats on the great approval! Since you have an established history with the BCP, more than likely it is only a SP.
