Hilton co-branded card upgrade/downgrade [Consolidated]
I had just upgraded to the Hilton Honors Ascend Card (with 75k bonus for $2k spending in 3 months). I haven't received the physical card yet, but does any spending on the old card now count towards the spending bonus for the new Ascend card (the account number is the same) or do I have to wait to activate the new physical card?
I asked Amex via chat and they said yes any spending on the old card now counts, but wanted to see if anyone has experience with this as I have a large bill to pay today.
I assume the same logic would apply to any Amex upgrade offers, not just the Hilton Ascend. Thanks!
