Yeah. Hilton thus far seems fine with very generous stacking of various credits - properties have actually become much looser in their policies and have also gotten very good at explaining them at check-in. Example from W/A Vegas: $100 FHR + $60 FHR breakfast + $50 Diamond breakfast. Then afterwards AMEX applies the $200 resort credit.
I really don't see a $50 quarterly credit as a big deal in the broader scheme, though it is certainly a positive for me on a card which otherwise I acquired mostly for the fantastic SUB and points rebate on AMEX travel purchases.
