Ya, I just got an email a few minutes ago about this for my no AF HH card. It'll now get at least a $5 purchase every month to snag the $5 in credit. It's currently in the SD, so I'll have to remember to use it once a month on food.
Used Surpass at lunch today for $8.64, and then stopped for a coffee after work and used it again to go over the $10 threshold. I got an email within five minutes of paying that the reward had been put into effect, so to be clear, the reward is triggered by $10 total spend. It doesn't have to be in one purchase.

Hmm, I have the Amex Hilton Honors no annual fee card that has a $5 monthly credit. I went to say hi to yellow and red clothed clown for lunch today and get some spicy chicken nuggets and a few other items. The cost was $5.18, I used the Amex card, and I did NOT receive an automated e-mail from American Express, even though I signed up for the monthly credit on Monday morning. I usually though not always do get an automated Amex e-mail when I use one of the Amex Offers.
I'll keep an eye out to see if/when I get the $5 credit. I figured my purchase would be a good test case if for whatever reasons certain types of restaurants don't qualify. (I did not see anything in the offer terms that excluded fast food restaurants.)

LOL. It's called the Marriott Bonvoy card. I have the same one.

I hope it works, since I'll probably use mine for something cheap like that every month. I usually get notices almost immediately after completing an offer, but I did not get notices when doing the tap for $5+ and get $2 back.
I used mine at Little Caesars at lunch and Dunkin' for the coffee and got the email so I would assume it's not going to have much in the way of limitations.

@Anonymous wrote:$15 for Delta Plat as well. Can't confirm on the Hilton Surpass as I just checked off the final box on my current to-do list and picked it up last night. Not showing in my account yet.
I believe all of fine print for these offers state a date at some point in December or January that a cardmember needed to have the card in order to be eligible so sadly I don't think your Surpass will be eligible.
Hilton Honors (No AF) I am guessing you had to have it in December because I signed up and received my card in January 21, and it is not showing up on my account, which really sucks.
You had to have been a cardholder as of Jan. 1, 2021.

- Hilton Aspire, Delta Reserve, Delta Platinum & Marriott Brilliant: $20 monthly credit
- Hilton Surpass, Delta Gold: $10 monthly credit
- No annual fee Hilton: $5 monthly credit
And the lower AF Marriott card also has $10 monthly credit according to the comments.
For wireless:
- Marriott Business: $15 monthly credit
- Delta & Hilton Business: $10 monthly credit
(Although Delta Platinum I got $15 not $10 as did a commenter, so that is likely a DoC typo.)
Also looks like Hilton people are getting 10k points for each $5000 of spend up to 10x.
I woke up yesterday this story on my phone. Here are the complete details:

I just redeemed my 1st credit earlier this afternoon by ordering some pizza too, but Pizza Hut, through Seamless. I did get the confirmation redemption email immediately from AMEX. I usually get the actual credit from AMEX in 2 or 3 days, which is very good. I had sock drawerd this card last month, but I whipped it right back now, for 1 dining purchase per month through the end of the year!

Yes, the minium spend for Surpass is $10. For those with other cards, however, the different cards have different offers, and therefore different corresponding spend requirements, ranging from $5 - $20.
Whatever your actual offer is, that amount is also your required minium spend.
