Quick data point: I wasn't targeted for the 2x MR on Platinum purchases offer, but figured it wouldn't hurt to call customer service. Mentioned that I'd heard murmurs of a 2x MR promotion and asked if it was something they could apply to my account. No joy. Didn't press the issue with the customer service rep. Ah well. :/

As Amex Offers are targeted generally CSR cannot apply it to your account.

What is your spend on your Plat, and how long have you had it? I just got my Plat (as well as the 40k bonus points) so maybe that's why I wasn't targeted. I also only put spend on my Plat (since getting the bonus) that revolves around Sync offers. Everything else goes on my other cards, primarily the CSP.

I registered before staying. Usually, these promos get credited along with an authorization for minimum amount at checkin, but this time not then, and not now that the hotel has settled the charge with a final amount ($200). Chatted with a rep today who brushed me off with "wait five days after posting date (8/22)".

(Edited to add that the credit did post on its own)

Hilton AP charges post immediately (from Hilton reservations), while regular stays post from the hotel. The system seems geared towards looking for that as a charging party.

If anyone is still looking to use this offer, check you local BBB. I found $200 Mastercards at a store in NH, and it's no problem to use 8 cards at $25 each for the purchase.

Wow, 8 cards for one transaction of MCGC and the system allowed it!

Is only MCGC available and no VGC? How about 3rd party GCs?

There were other 3rd party cards, but none that I was interested in. I would have taken Netflix, Amazon, or Virgin Mobile, but didn't see any. Plenty of restaurants. There were Visas, but not $200. $100 I think, but definitely $50. There were $200 Amex's too. Nothing over $200.

Finally made it to Sheetz to try out the sync that expires at end of month. Pre-paid $25 in gas inside (since the T&C excluded payment at the pump). Got the $5 credit - unfortunately won't be able to use the other credit before 8/31 as I'm out of state (sync was for 2x).

Oddly, Sheetz inside is coded as grocery store (not that it matters since PRG is 2x on gas and grocery)

If the inside register is used for 7/11 type convenience store goods I could see that. Target is also coded as a supermarket for all transactions.

There is a new targeted offer of $30 off $150 at Lowes. I got it on 1 of my 3 cards.

Do you get the credit if you fulfilled the offer, got the "thanks for using offer" email & then happen to cancel the card [for whatever reason] all on the same day?
I will post here if you do.

For those of you with the $50 credit for $150 AT&T offers, can you confirm that it works on personal cell phone accounts and not just business accounts?
