I'm pretty pissed off because I verified this crap with a CSR before doing it. Originally I was told that the SURPASS was a different product than the one I had and would thus qualify, but not so.

AMEX considers all hilton cards as one product, it doesn't matter what kind of hilton card it is.

In order to qualify for multiple hilton bonuses you need to have 12 months +1 day from your last application AND have the account closed for a minimum of 90 days.

you CAN NOT have ANY hilton AMEX open if you plan on double dipping.

However, if I had clicked this link to upgrade my fee-free to SURPASS, I would have gotten an additional 50k for $3k spend

(if it doesn't show up, log into your amex account)

And they pulled some BS that they couldn't give me that because the departments are separate or whatever.

I asked if they would at least waive the annual fee and they said only if I cancelled the card.

So I basically wasted $3k in spend on this card to get nothing out of it
