As T&Cs state that the offer is targeted, it does not appear to be worth the risk.

Sweet!

I signed up for the deal. Now I have to dig my card out dust it off and stick it my billfold. I haven't used that puppy in light years.

I have a Reserve Visa and just received an email to register for the promo.

If I'm right, you have to do the math to figure out which is better, although it's going to be this promo except for really high folios.

Can you register amex and visa, or will one overrule the other?

Edit: This is almost always going to be better than the Amex offer.
What's the AMEX offer?

You can register for both but only the promo of the card used to settle your bill will prevail

I have two separate stays coming up. One paid (3 nights) and one not (4 nights award). Will my award stay counts towards this promotion? Usually award stays are not included in promotions but they are always stated in the T&C. It seems like award stays are not excluded this time around:

"A ‘stay’ is defined as the total number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel..." Nothing else is mentioned to this regard.

I'm guessing as long as you charge something to the room and then pay with Citi, it should trigger the bonus...but that's just "SWAG" on my part.

This award stay will be in Asia and I've just remembered that my citi HH card is the basic, no annual fee type. I will have to keep room charges to a minimum to avoid paying a high forex transaction fee that would null the promotion value. Maybe I should upgrade this card for future Hilton stays overseas. But there are too many premium cards in my wallet already.

The email I got has a picture that seems to imply both cards are included.

Had a stay Monday night using the Reserve Visa and the 2500 bonus points posted at the same time as the base and other bonus points. Much better than the 1000 point app bonus which haven't posted for my stays that were about 10 weeks ago.

Thanks for the confirmation that it works with the Reserve Visa as well!
