the HH GC purchase loophole is too obvious. the transaction details are clearly shown. now there is attn brought to this process. HH GC became OOS. noticed by Hilton Gift Card Management Team.
and ever since amex biz plat intro the HH credit, ive been waiting in the front desk forever watching pple trying to split payment 20+ gift cards to settle their folio. pple in this game still dont understand u burn locations w/ that type of behavior and next time, there will be a stupid 2 payment form max policy.
basically, im saying things will change soon.
Are you familiar with how for several years Amex Plat flyers on Southwest (e.g., me) have been playing this game where we buy tickets <=$103, cancel them, put those funds into travel credits, and then get Amex statement credits? This has been going on so long that there are several threads on it, based on time periods. It should not be happening, per the T&C, but it keeps happening.
You might very well be right about how this could come to an abrupt end, but the history on these things leaves much doubt on whether it will end with regard to this Hilton $50 x 4 deal for Amex Business Plat. If anything, I'd bet that it will not end. I almost missed the opportunity in the 4th Q of 2024, and I'm a total geek for this stuff. This is nothing compared to the airline incidental game-playing.
