My Hilton Ascend is 1 year old. I looked at my account today and I now have an upgrade offer with 150K SUB after 4K spend. I've searched and read enough posts here already to know it's a legit offer and I've weighed the pros and cons about the upgrade. My question is whether or not there is a small window of time to accept before the offer is rescinded? I don't want to jump on it right now only because I'm transitioning some things at work and financially to start the year, and want to give myself 30 days to have everything addressed. I have a 0% BT that will expire in a couple months so I want to pay that off before I commit to the 4K spend. I would contact Amex directly to discuss, but I don't want to tip my hat that I'm interested but need time to respond. Any idea?
If you ever want the Aspire card, I would jump on the upgrade offer as soon as you can. For several reasons, it's a much better Hilton card.
I stay at Hilton properties often and earned Diamond status a couple of years ago on my own. I've had the Ascend card for several years and expected an offer to upgrade to the Aspire card. When that never came, I went ahead last September and applied separately for the Aspire card. Got the 150K SUB and then canceled my Ascend card because I don't need two Hilton AMEX cards.
I didn't earn Diamond status last year but will continue to have it through the Aspire card. IMHO, that alone is worth the upgrade!
Good luck!
Thank you for the replies everyone! While I definitely want this card (and the offer is still sitting on my account), I will hold off for now. I noticed that my Hilton spend has reverted back to $0 with the new year and think if I am consistent with my use this year, the offer will stay or resurface when I'm ready.
I’d been waiting for some kind of upgrade offer on either my SPG or Hilton card. Actually saw an upgrade offer to the SPG Lux and wanted to jump on it but decided I’d look at it again in an hour and it was gone by then Hopefully that didn’t/won’t happen to you but just letting you know of a DP!

Though it may not be stated, there is definitely a time limit. I had the Plat 100k offer for a few weeks and when it came time for me to apply it was gone. Moral is I took too long to decide I suppose.
