AmEx Hilton Honors Approval

[jl4]

After I applied (and was approve) for my BCE, I applied for the Hilton Honors card. Of course I wasn't fully aware of the 2-card-1-pull methodology with AmEx so I had waited a day and ended up with two HP. 

No big deal since they approved me for the HH with a $1,000 limit. I wasn't ever entirely hopeful that I'd get it given the back-to-back applications and my current scoring, but hey, I'll take it.  

I'm pretty sure I applied for the one with the 50,000-point offer. I don't think I would have chosen the ones with AFs, though I frankly don't remember. I suppose I'll find out when the card shows up based on its design!

This makes me 3 for 4 on my app spree with the final being the Chase IHG in its beautiful 30-day-to-2-week state. 

Scores are below and current as of yesterday.

Congrats on your Amex approval; normally you have to wait 5 days between two approvals for them

Congrats!! yes, the regular no AF Hilton has the 50k offer.  Last week, i got an approval to upgrade mine to the Ascend for 75k bonus points after spending $2k.

Were you coming from the regular HH? 50k on signup for HH plus 75k when upgrading to HHA sounds like a killer deal.

I originally got the Hilton with $95 AF back in 2015 with a 75k offer.  I then downgraded before the AF hit.  Last week, i called to order a card for my wife on the AMEX Platinum Ameriprise and the CSR told me i had an offer to upgrade back to the AF hilton for 75k after $2k spent, i took it.
