None of the above is new, and they look like referral links.

And while the offer is not new, the links are, as UA Fan announced on his thread that the old links died.

The links did contain information of the type used to track referrals. Information in the same format could be used for other purposes, such as to track which email generated the application. I removed it, and verified that the links still point to the correct offers.Originally Posted by michael_v

I currently have an AMEX hilton card. I got it Feb 2012.
How does AMEX structure their CC churns? I know, for instance, Citi requires something like 18-24 months before you requalify for a bonus
Would the 2 browser trick work to get both of these cards or is this more of a 'choose one or the other' type of thing?
T&C for both says
EDIT 2: Since I can't figure out if I already got the 50k, I decided to just get the surpass @ 60k and was instantly approved

So I should qualify for the bonus ...

Most AMEX cards mention that you're not eligible for the sign up bonus if you've had the same card in the last 12 months.Originally Posted by stupidzbu

Just to be clear, AMEX starts the waiting period from when a person *closed* his/her account, not when he/she *applied* for his/her account. This is my current understanding, but I'd be happy to learn that I'm wrong.Originally Posted by living

Literally means if you applied for & received a surpass card in the last 12 months, you are SOL. It doesn't refer to closing your account IMHOWelcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product within the last 12 months

or any other Consumer Hilton HHonors Card from American Express account within the last 90 days.
So in my case, I applied in Jan 2012 for the standard 50k card. That means that I would have to wait until Jan 2013 to re-apply, but since I got the surpass card this month, I would have to wait until Feb to be past the 90 day zone just in case.or any other Consumer Hilton HHonors Card from American Express account within the last 90 days.
Nothing about closing accounts. Then again, I haven't dealt with AMEX too much, so I might be in the wrong.
FWIW I got instant approval for the surpass
If I apply for standard Amex Hhonor card in March 2012, and still have the card with me, will I be qualified for the surpass offer? It seems that I need to cancel the card and wait 90 days to apply for the surpass card, right?

I have limited experience with AMEX, but that is not my understanding. I applied and was approved for the SURPASS yesterday, will call and confirm the bonus when the card arrives this week.Originally Posted by chasamex

If so, and you haven't had the Surpass before, shouldn't you get the bonus miles?
