New American Express Hotel Program

https://travel.americanexpress.com/travel/gcd

$75 room credit
must be stays of 2 nights or more
room upgrade if available

I am wondering if it earns Hilton stay credits?

Not sure, but one must have a Gold or Platinum card to access the site.

I believe that would be a reservation through a 3rd party and not eligible for HHonors credit or benefits.

Is this program new? I noticed it the other day when I was perusing the updated AMEX website, and took a look at some locations I was going to.

At least for my destinations/dates (London), the prices through The Hotel Collection were much more inflated over base rates.

No. That program has been around a while. As always, you need to compare the rates/benefits to the alternatives.

FWIW, received an email from Amex yesterday with this, calling it "new" - or maybe just new to Biz Plat?

Introducing The Hotel Collection, a new Business Platinum Card® program that expands the lodging options available to enhance your business travel.

Use your Business Platinum Card® to book your trip, stay a minimum of two consecutive nights, and receive:

• A $75 hotel credit on qualifying charges
• Room upgrade at check-in, if available
• Book three rooms and receive these benefits on each

The Hotel Collection features top lodging brands, including:

Destination Hotels & Resorts Kimpton Hotels
Hilton Hotels & Resorts Loews Hotels
Hyatt Hotels & Resorts Omni Hotels & Resorts

To book your stay, visit amexhotelcollection.com or call Business Platinum Travel Service at 1-800-553-9497.
Seems similar to the Gold Collection, which I never used - is this just rebranded for Platinum to know about?
