My question is: has anyone done this and do you get the 3X points. I've read the fine print on the Amex site and nothing jumps out and says it's only 1:1 for such transactions or that such transactions are not eligible.
Use an Amex card that give MR points ----- then transfer to Hilton at 1 MR gets 1 1/2 hilton points
OR

buy $500 gift cards at a place that gets bonus points - gas ? super mkt? etc it may cost you $5.00 a card but
it will cost u less of a service charge if use a GC rather than C.C. --- YOU NEED TO DO THE MATH
