I actually already have this card from my September apps (I got the 50K bonus then and have already met the spend and received the points). The offer specifies my HH points total as of 8/20/12 so may have been triggered by my last Hilton stay which was in July.
My original plan was to upgrade for the 60K bonus annual fee card. Now I'm wondering if I can double dip on the no fee card then go back for thirds on the upgrade to my original card... can you hold 2 of the same HH Amex cards?
Because the offer was targeted to me, I called AMEX app line and explained that I had recently received this card and then received this offer in the mail for 60K bonus and wanted to know if I was eligible. The CSR said that while yes, I could have 2 of the same card, I would not get the 2nd "new account bonus". She then stated that the "new account bonus policy" excluded me because I had a) had the same card w/in the previous 90 days and b) had received HH bonus points from any ccard sign up w/in the past 60 days. I did make a play for the difference in bonus points but was transferred to, then shot down by, the CS dept who wanted to transfer me to HH CS.
I guess I'll have to settle for just the upgrade to my original card which is very attractive because of the no credit pull.
