Thank you for your response. I had read the last few pages of posts and am familiar with the purchase -> wallet and the purchase -> 23rd hr cancel options, but all the examples appeared to be using Amex Plat and Gold. I didn’t want to assume that another Amex product, the Hilton Aspire, would work without hearing actual experience from others.
While it would be great to have an extra $250 in my travel wallet, if it doesn’t work, being MVPG75K, I don’t have any AS incidental chages (free checked bags, no change fees, etc.) so I’d be wasting my benefit. Before knowing about this AS option, I used a tip from TPG to buy a $100 gift card from Southwest for my Amex Gold, and it got the credit in a couple days. Don’t really want or need any more WN gift cards though.
Anyone do this recently with an Amex Hilton Aspire?
