Has anybody used the "Spend $500, get $100 at select Europe Hilton hotels"?
I charged 500 EUR to my card with the offer a couple days ago and it has posted to my account in USD equiv but the offer is still sitting in the added tab. I know I should probably be patient, I'm just curious. And before anybody asks, yes I did check the participating hotels list, and yes the hotel I stayed at is on said list.

$60 of $300 at Grand Hyatt
Put two expensive breakfasts on it to trigger award.
"How was your stay?"
"Fine. Our housekeeping was a little late one day, but that happens."
"Oh. Let me credit a breakfast."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Oh, well I'll re-add the breakfast and give you 2000 points."
...
Charges went through as $280 and $30 so the award was not triggered.
Call to AMEX- they suggest I wait an eon for the offer to end, call us an eon after that, then they'll probably get back to me in another eon.
In the past they have eventually made these deals right. But, I won't remember to call and didn't like the lack of trust (I assume they don't have the IT to remove the deal and are afraid I'll trigger it twice.) I'm going to cancel the card.

I was careful to make it just over $500, even factoring in the fact that they charge the "deposit" separately. When I arrived, there were issues with the room, and the hotel not only upgraded me to a nicer room, but also told me that they will give me a credit for one night (Noooo!). Fortunately, I "solved" the problem by going to one of the MLife restaurants on the strip and made it over $500
Edit: Sorry for your troubles. This almost happened to me at Courtyard (they always say that the tax on the final bill may be adjusted, and they were right, was short $2 and bought a food item to trigger the offer!)

Progressive doesn't take AMEX -- any idea on how it might code if paid through PayPal? Trying to figure out how to use the 20% offer.
Edit: DoC data points say it worked last time, so I'm going to give it a go. Pending charge shows as Progressive with appropriate details, not as PP, so hopeful it will post properly.

Here's my story from the MGM offer.

For $60 I would add a reminder to my todo list (Todoist) with all the relevant data, scheduled for when the offer ends, to make it easy for me to revisit this. Its a matter of principle.

For the last month or so when I click "add to card" on any AMEX offer, on any of my cards, nothing happens. It shows the little grey button being depressed but then doesn't say "added to card" and the offers don't get added. I have four AMEX cards and can't add offers on any of them. Has this been discussed before and is there a fix?

”click” sounds like laptop/desktops web browser. Perhaps try different browsers and/or anonymous mode?

Macbook. Tried different browsers. Maybe it's because I'm in Cambodia. I'll try with a VPN.

I'm frustrated that I all of a sudden the rebates have stopped automatically posting, multiple cards accounts, offers, even the bus plat dell offer. No emails. Any advice? I want to avoid calling and being told wait 8 weeks. Yes the offers were all successfully added and I used the right cards and followed terms. TIA

the way to redeem AMEX Offers for hotels is to always put the target spend amount down as a "deposit" onto the folio at check-in - ask for a folio printout when check-in complete showing the credit balance
