It is a very basic IF THEN statement

IF you have had a hilton bonus in the last 90 days THEN no bonus

So now let me make it an IF AND THEN statement for you:

IF you have had a Hilton AMEX for more than 90+ days AND it is not the same product you are applying for THEN bonus

It does NOT state "if you have APPLIED for any other Consumer Hilton HHonors® Credit Card account within the last 90 days" you will not get the bonus.

Meaning, if you have had any Hilton Honors Credit Card OPEN, not OPENED, within the last 90 days, you will not get the bonus. You would have had to cancel the card 90 days before your application.

Now as Scoy said, I would love to be wrong also. But this is what the terms actually mean, and is what I have heard from other peoples' experiences.
rcross23: My thoughts exactly.

And I'd love to be wrong as well, as that would open doors.

Please update if and when you receive bonus.
