Hello myFICOers,
Has anyone received an offer or has successfully upgraded from the Amex Hilton Ascend to Aspire to nab the 150,000 points bonus that's been circulated around?
Thanks!
I have not but know many people that have. Did you get one? If so, I’d suggest you go for it!
I did the upgrade several months ago for 150k. No issues at all.
Thanks guys! I havent got the offer yet.

Yes I was offered it and accepted it.
Is there a way to get all 3 of the subs for the Aspire, Ascend, and based Hilton card? Is this something allowed by Amex?
As I understand it, there are a few options:
1. You can sign up for those 3 cards (anyone managed to do that? i've seen people with 2 of the cards but never all 3)
2. Sign up for the Honors card, get sub. After 1st year, upgrade to either the Aspire or Ascend but as i understand it, you only get the new sub bonus if it was offered. My friend has been waiting for 3 years on his Honors card, no upgrade so he just applied for a new card.
3. More likely scenario is to sign up for the Ascend card, after 1st year upgrade to the Aspire (most likely for me because I dont think my profile will get an approval on the Aspire right away). At some point, you can also sign up for the Honors card leaving you with a total of 2 hilton cards.

You can sign up for all three, one every couple months if you like. However, there are better cards and SUBs out there then to get all 3 Hilton cards. They will just take up 3 of your 5 revolver spots with Amex. Just don't cancel any of them within 12 months or Amex will claw back the points.
I had the Ascend for 4 months now, but later realized I wanted the Aspire. Got spoiled with my Mariott Brilliant and it's perks. I was told last week to wait 3 more months and will auto receive the offer. Or, I could upgrade now but not get the SUB. While the SUB is nice, I am spoiled with status (exclusive lounges are way cool). Glad I did it. The invitations by Hilton (concerts, parties, culinary) for the summer are priceless.
But hey, that's me...
