AMEX Hilton Honors Aspire approved

Anonymous · ‎09-10-2018

I applied for the AMEX Hilton Honors Aspire card, got the 14 day message and then 30 seconds later, I checked my email and found out that I was approved! Yay! I don't know my SL since it wasn't an instant approval... unless it's a charge card which is fine. I received an email about the 150k sign up bonus after spending $4k in 3 months and the benefits of the card is pretty good. I don't mind the AF and I don't think I'm going after the Chase CSR but rather the AMEX Platinum next year. I do hope that AMEX is able to expedite the new card because I got some work trips coming up and some leisure travels too.

Here’s some info:
Income: $75k
FICO: EQ 706, TU 704, EX 693
AAoA: 5 years
Derog: paid charge off from AMEX
Number of inquiries:
EQ: 0
TU: 0
EX: currently at 3 (Chase for World of Hyatt 7/29, Chase CSR 8/26, AMEX BCE 8/26) I did not see any inquiry for AMEX Hilton Aspire card yet.

Super Congrats on your AMEX Hilton Honors Aspire approval!

I see that you already have the AMEX Blue Cash Everyday for $10,000.

This means your Aspire approval should be an EX soft pull, as well as

any CLIs you receive for your cards in the future. But if you do get HPd,

please let us know.

Enjoy your new card. Thanks so much for sharing!

Congrats!!!

That's a great card with a high SUB if you stay @ Hilton a lot.. I know you don't mind the AF but I hope you take advantage of the resort and travel credits ($250 each) to soften the AF blow. I'd app for this card if it came in a business version.

Congrats on the Aspire!! Such an awesome card, I suspect Amex will get that to you pretty quickly. Enjoy the Diamond status .

Congrats on the approval and did you get the starting SL yet? (if it is the revolver and not the charge card)

Scores - All bureaus 770 +
TCL - Est. $410K

Congrats! I also just bit on the 150k offer--had been waffling about the 100k, but the added points put it over the edge for me.

Definitely exciting news! Do you travel a lot for work (given your hyatt and hilton cards)?

Thank you! I think the SL of my Aspire will require a HP because they gave me so low... lol

Thank you! I called this morning and the rep could only give me 3-5 days shipping method compare to a 7-10 days. Still something, right? I'm hoping the card arrives by Friday or next Monday.
