Hilton Honors Surpass from AMEX Offer... UPDATE - Approved!

[NYFan63]

I am a Hilton Honors member and received an offer from them to apply for 100k points if I spend $2000 in the frist three months to maintain my Diamond Status.  My scores are in the low 700's with 30% usage.  Income in the mid-high $100k...

Any thoughts on approval?

Based on your signature, there shouldn't be a problem. They'll approve people in the low 600s

Thank you.  I sent the app and received a response they are reviewing and I Wilk be notified in 14 days...not getting my hopes up...

Was Amex included in the 2009 bankruptcy?

Probably verification. You should call them.

Good luck with your application!

Good question.  I did not have a balance with them at that time, so would think not.

You were correct Brian.  I called and they verified my address and employer, then the CSR put me on hold, came back on and informed me I was approved.  Small CL $2k but its a start and I wanted to maintain status with Hilton.

Glad it was just verification.
