Although I also have the Surpass Amex for HHonors gold, glad to see the benefit for others who don't have gold status already.

Perfect! I am on a stay right now and called to upgrade from silver to gold. I'll take the extra points!

Very happy to see this become a permanent benefit for cardholders. I was lucky enough to get the renewal for a second year of HH Gold when they were still testing/promoting it a year or two back, and the free breakfast and late checkout availability during our stays was great.

it doesn't show up on the benefit page for me, i have a fidelity platinum amex charge card (technically deferred debit but has all the same benefits as regular plat incl $200 travel credit, spg gold etc) and I guess the benefit page may not have been coded for this version of the card

Bound to be a good few plat card holders who might get more value out of free breakfasts and poss upgrade via hilton gold, than they would from lounge access and other benefits of OW sapphire.
I wonder if the re-introduction of hilton gold (it was a benefit a few years ago) for the US plat, is a precursor of it coming to the UK card. At the moment the US card gets signficiantly better benefits, for 2/3rds less annual fee.

One persons awesome is another persons good, and vice versa, Its very much dependant on travel profile.
