Can one apply for this Hilton AmEx:

& Surpass AmEx card same time & get bonus points offered by both? Was going to follow churn strategies advised here, but now outdated?:

Any advice or links for hotel churn newbie appreciated! Thanks!

I'm going to say nope, you cant have both at the same time. What you can do is apply for the free hilton card and earn your bonus points and wait a few months and you could have the option from within your account to upgrade to Surpass and earn an additional 50K. I just received this ofter, however YMMV.
