HHonors looks to be going the way of Delta as far as removing categories and published rates goes.

Instead of posting these kinds of private requests in the thread, maybe PM them? Crazy, I realize, but crazy enough that it just might work.

Superorb

But that takes effort...

I did but hadn't heard anything back yet by then, and figured if he's anything like me he's probably rarely logged in or rarely checks for messages. Didn't mean to rock the boat.

It's cool though, some of my best friends are overly sarcastic condescending people.

its all good, PMs are welcome.
I think some guys here don't want to post these links in public in fear of bloggers take over the links and do what DOC did last time, so for the time being we will be using PM.

I have decided to update the wiki with the 40k link, specially after i found another one. good luck to all.

anyone know when the 10k ANNUAL LOYALTY BONUS for 1k spend at hilton properties should post on my account?

I spent > $1k back in October and was told the 10k point should show up in January

I called in January and at first the rep said, no it's on the 1 year anniv of your card (I opened the card in May 2016). I told him that's incorrect according to the website and it's the calendar year.

he said give it another month. Well it's been another month.

Has anyone's 10k posted yet? If so, when. If not, and you've received it in the past, when did the points show up?

Thanks

I found some other posts on here that indicated many people had their 10k points by January. I guess I'll wait until 3/31 before I contact them. Thanks.

Hello Everyone,

Looking for a little advice and get an opinion on a plan of action to apply for multiple Hilton Cards...

I have maxed out as many Chase UR as well as AMEX MR points in the past year (and actually Marriott/SPG too). I am over Chase's 5/24 (probably closer to 8/24 in personal cards - and many more AMEX biz cards which are not on my credit report)

My goal is to maximize Hilton Honors Points and Free Nights in as short a time period as possible.

Currently I have one open credit card at Citi (an AA Adv Platinum Card) with credit line of around $82K.

My FICO Score is 800+ and have high income. I have only had maybe five credit card hard pulls in the past six months.

So from reading the Wiki I noticed Citi's 24 month language now reference's 'any Citi Hilton' card.

So here is what I was going to do:

Day 1:
Apply from Citi Hilton HHonors RESERVE Card - 2 Free Weekend Nights after $2,500 spend in 4 months plus $100 statement credit against Hilton stay within 6 months

Day 8:
Apply for Citi Hilton HHonors Visa Signature Card - 40K HHonors Points - Using the link provided in the Wiki that does not contain 24 month language

QUESTION: Is the consensus that this 40K point link with no 24 month language always works? While I would love to take advantage of the new 75K HHonors bonus point offer but if I want the Reserve Card (and the 2 Free Weekend Nights) to be prioritized and I do not see any way to get both now since the new 75K offer does contain 24 month language. Is there any workaround I might be missing for trying to get both the Reserve Card w/2 Free Weekend Nights and Visa Signature with 75K points at near the same time?

QUESTION: I have a high line of Credit with Citi ($82K all on one card with ZERO utilization). Based on reading the WIKI and other Citi threads it seems the best advice is to not touch the existing high credit line card (Citi AA Adv) and then have Citi take from the existing high line to approve the new card if necessary. Will this happen automatically or do I have to contact Citi or will they contact me since I am fairly certain they are not going to want to extend any additional credit?

Many thanks in advance. One footnote is that after I get the Citi cards applied for, and hopefully approved, I nearly immediately plan to apply for Both AMEX flavors of the Hilton cards which I don't think will be a problem since I only have one Amex CREDIT card right now.

Yes, the 40K link always works (better way of saying it: I've seen no reports of it not working).

You are wise to get the Reserve card first, and I don't believe there is any workaround that would allow you to then apply for the 75K Citi card.

Regarding your very high credit limit, there are two schools of thought. One says what the wiki says -- preserve it so Citi can move CL from that card to a new card if necessary. I believe they do this only if and when you call them to check on the status of the app if not automatically approved.

The second school of thought is that you should always reduce the CL on a Citi card after meeting the minimum spend, thereby improving your chances of getting auto-approved. Citi's computers decide how much credit to extend, and if you've already got CL that high on existing cards, you might be denied, thereby forcing you to call for reconsideration. I've always reduced my CLs.

You should have no problem getting both Amex cards after applying for the Citi cards.

Thanks LWT3 for the very thorough response.

Does anyone know if the offer for the Hilton Reserve bonus of 2 Free Weekend Nights PLUS $100 Statement Credit on first hotel stay is still valid?

The only reference on Citi's website that I find is at the following link:
https://www.citicards.com/cards/cred...orsReservation

But when I click on Apply Now for the Reserve I get the following message:

"A system error has caused a delay in processing your application."

Are the statement credit offers still valid and does anyone happen to know any alternate application links?
