I'm getting the pop-up saying I am ineligible for a bonus on Hilton cards based on my past history with Amex. I've never held an Amex Hilton card, and my last application for an Amex card was Blue Business Plus more than a year ago. I've only attempted a Hilton Honors 75k app, and have not attempted an app for any other card product. I have three cards open currently: Old Blue Cash, Amex Everyday, and BlueBiz Plus. I've definitely leveraged some of the information I've learned from this forum to maximize my usage of these cards, but I haven't ever gone nuts like some (legendary) members have (My OBC is still open, after all).

Are there any documented ways to get out of Amex purgatory and be eligible for bonuses again? i.e. would spending more on my cards help, or would it not matter? Does the bonus limitation currently apply only to Personal cards, or for Biz cards too (When using SSN as EIN)? Any further data points from other forum members would certainly be helpful to us all!
