Hilton Honors & Delta Gold Approvals

This morning checked i was almost pre-approved for all AMEX cards. So applied for these Hilton Honors (no annual fee card) and Delta Gold (First year free), incognito mode as the Hilton card was offering 100K points and Delta 50K points, both on just 1000 dollars spend in 3 months. Got approved for both but a joke 1K limit lol. But i don't care about the limits much since i have much higher limits cards anyway. The SUBs are the ones i care about most Smiley Happy just a 1.5 months of gardening haha...back to zero in garden again smh

Thanks. Only drawback to that is i burnt a credit pull for these two approvals as it was incognito mode. My regular pre-approval in logged in AMEX account was showing lot less SUB

Congrats!!! Those are some great subs! Feel like a broken record, but I love the Hilton cards. I feel like I get way more out of them than I should.

Thanks. Do you know how the points redeem work for the Hilton card? I am not entirely sure how beneficial the card could be.

Congrats on your approvals. 3x CLI later on is always an option. They can and do grow. To answer your question, Hilton redemptions are dynamic, so they’re either going to be poor value or very good value for room redemptions. A little homework on dates and properties will certainly help you get better value. For airline transfers, I wouldn’t bother since the transfer ratios are horrendous.
