Terms and FAQ
Which charges are eligible?
- Reservation must be pre-paid to be reimbursed.
- Pre-paids with a flexible cancellation policy are still eligible.
- Hotel rates under $200 are also reimbursed.
- If using Pay With Points, the cash portion of your charge is still eligible.
- Charges made at the hotel are not billed by Amex Travel and are not eligible.
- When checking in, the terms require payment with an Amex which need not be a platinum Amex.
- Browse Hotels here
- Benefit renews every January 1st.
- The $200 credit is based on the year you made the booking, not the year of the stay. You can use it this year to book a room for next year.
- Amex in general handles offers by the transaction date, not post date. For example, a 12/31/22 transaction date is eligible for 2022 credits even if posted in 2023.
- If you cancel a reservation, the $200 credit is reversed. The credit will be available to use again if you cancelled in the same year you paid.
- In general you can't modify reservation dates and need to cancel and rebook to change dates.
- "If you need to change your hotel booking, you must either cancel and rebook your reservation or call us for assistance."
- If you use the benefit for a future stay and cancel that Amex platinum card prior to your stay, Amex is not known to claw back the $200. You will still need to check-in with some other Amex.
- The $200 credit sometimes posts in a few days, but sometimes 3 weeks or longer.
To know your remaining $200 balance, ask Amex. There's no meter on the website.There is now a meter on the website which shows your usage against $200- If your platinum account has additional cardholders with a gold card, charges on the gold card are eligible. Not clear if they enforce the requirement that the platinum cardholder must be on the reservation.
- Terms of the FH&R $100 credit.

I assume based on how this is charged you can't stack the THC/FHR credit with the AMEX Hilton offer? Actually should be fine because I'm looking at a 3 day stay but just confirming that is the case in which case I'll make 2 separate reservations.
Separately I also have my $250 Hilton Aspire credit but maybe I'll just put that down as the room charges card and then that can cover any meals or parking at the hotel

Something must be going on with the credits lately. Still no credit from a purchase 06/23. I signed up for the Schwab Platinum right before they announced all the new credits and raised the annual fee so wanted to cancel this month, will I still get credits even if the account is closed but I purchased it before I closed it?

Any further DP of credits in the last month or so? I may attempt to make another purchase and refund my precious credit if things do not credit automatically

Hotel points
Any data on which hotel chains give reward points in their programs when you book through one of the Amex programs? Also who do I reach out to if I don’t get points, Amex or the hotel chain? I did put in the rewards number when I booked through Amex travel.
below is from the Amex website
When you book a Fine Hotels + Resorts®️ or The Hotel Collection stay through American Express Travel®️ you’ll earn Membership Rewards®️ points. Plus, you still earn loyalty points with hotels1.
