Amex Offers: Hilton
The past couple of years there have been a slew of Amex Offers targeting Hilton brands. Sure enough, we’re already seeing some repopulate for Spring 2023. I fully expect more Hilton properties to be added to this current round, but at the moment, we’re seeing now seeing Select Resorts + Mexican properties being targeted. Let me know if you’re been targeted for any other offers and I’ll pop them up…I’ve left ones from prior years up as well so you can get a feel for what is likely to populate again.
Quick overview of Amex Offers:
I spend more than $2000+ a year on annual fees across Amex cars and lemme tell you, every little bit helps. In fact, I’d say that utilizing Amex Offers and the credits each individual card carries puts me net positive each year.
Here are the 9 American Express Cards that I keep and links to their current offers and why we have them in our wallet and recommend your consideration.
- American Express Platinum
- American Express Gold
- American Express Green ( I no longer have but this is a good referral )
- 3 American Express Business Platinum
- 3 American Express Business Gold
- American Express Blue Business Plus

I had an absolutely incredible experience at The Biltmore off Grosvenor Square in London, an LXR property which was fantastic. Full review here and if you’re looking for a centrally located luxury hotel in NYC – I’d recommend the Conrad Midtown seen below. Just a few blocks south of Central Park and we were given this suite as an upgrade due to our diamond status ( from our Hilton Aspire credit card ).
Spend $250 get $50 back at Hilton, Curio, and Canopy ( Expired – likely to come back )
I’ve had the pleasure of staying at few Curio hotels and I must say…they are fantastic. One in particular was the Konsulat hotel in Reykjavik, and I’d highly recommend it.

There is currently an 80k offer after $4k spend in 3 months available in branch, and up to 90k after $6k spend in 6 months. I suspect some version of this will be online soon if you don’t want the hassle of going into a branch.
We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 60k is a very, very good offer. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back. .
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
