On several MR earning cards and my Hilton Amex, I also got:
Waldorf Astoria & Conrad - "Spend $350 or more, get $60 back". Expires 5/31/2020

I got these, except my DoubleTree offer was for $40 instead of 4k pts.

I value pts at 2c so I really would rather get the pts offers then the $ offers but I'm 0-3 on the hotel ones.

I got both of these but also got the Conrad offer on my Hilton Aspire which I was very pleased about!

Got the Waldorf/Conrad offer too, and just in time for a stay next month!

The Lowes 10% off did not work on my Delta Business card - on the language it says excludes "corporate gift cards" - so that must have been why the Netflix gift cards did not work. On another recent occasion when Lowes was doing another Amex offer -it worked on one my cards but did not work on a business Amex (one card was my husband's). There must be something blocking gift cards on the business cards with Lowes. I've never had an issue with buying gift cards at Staples on any card.

Between my AU's and me we were 6 for 6 in getting our max $100 back on our Amex business cards for this latest Lowe's offer, each of us bought $1K in GC's with no issues.

Why are all of these generally for just u.s. locations 😞 I hardly ever stay in hotels in the u.s.

Hilton brand hotels in Hawaii - spend $1000+ on room rate and room charges, get $200 back. For stays 2/10 through 6/30.

Offer does not apply to advance purchase rates, including Advance Purchase, Save Now & Pay and Non-refundable rates. Excludes gift card purchases.

I just added this. I have a relatively expensive hawaii trip coming up (or I may just cancel -- I have airfare that I can cancel for no penalty but hotel rates are through the roof)

How does amex deal with overlapping offers? I have both this offer ($200 credit with $1000 spend at Hiltons in Hawaii) and another offer ($60 back on $350 spend at Waldorf Astoria and Conrad, which are Hilton brands).

If I do 2 nights at the Grand Wailea (a Waldorf Astoria Resort) and the total is over $1000, do I get both rebates ($260 total)?

Both our BBPs maxed the Lowes offer with 100% GC purchases at the Lowes store.

The "corporate gift cards" refer to bulk purchase of gift cards made by a corporation / company.

Does anyone notice Hilton Amex Offers seem to never be available on Hilton Amex cards? I find this to be the case on my Aspire, but is anyone else having this problem on any other Hilton cards?

Never seems to be an overstatement, see these two recent reports:

Offers is an advertising program. If you are sufficiently engaged with the Hilton program to apply for one of their co-branded cards, what's in it for Hilton to offer you an extra reward on a stay that you a likely to make without it?

I'm aware of the bulk corporate card language - this had something different by saying corporate gift cards excluded (no use of the word bulk). I use Amex offers all the time. The Delta Business CC offer at Lowes has not gone through twice when I bought Amazon or Netflix gift cards so something must be up. The Lowe's offer is still available on the card with no indication of savings.

Well, I am sufficiently engaged with the Hilton program to have one of their co-branded cards (and some 40 nights last year), but they are offering me frequently an extra reward to use an alternative card (eg Plat) for Hilton stays. Either it saves money by not having to pay me the discount and bonus Honors points, or the targeting is simply not taking into account the whole set of cards, i.e., Hilton offers generally don’t get targeted at any Hilton cards, but they don’t check if the targeted non-Hilton card is owned by a Hilton cardholder.

For a sufficient enough discount I have happily used my targeted card.

Actually I never see the word bulk in any offer with the corporate gift card language. I simply mentioned such because this is an area many people are confused. No idea why your purchases have not triggered the offer, which is the first time I read about it. We did not even bother with retailer gift cards but the much more convenient types. Statement credits posted in 3 days after charges posted, like clockwork.
