Question is : would AMEX canada be able to use my Hilton AMEX card or do they need a AMEX only card (or a card by AMEX and not with a partner) ?
Appreciate your responses.
I think it depends on whether the Hilton Amex is issued directly by American Express (so you apply for it on the Amex website) or if it's issued by another institution. For example, my UK BA Amex is something that I could use on a global transfer as far as I know because it was applied for on the Amex UK website, but if instead I had the Lloyds Avios Amex card which was issued by Lloyds, then I could not use that for a transfer.
