Exactly. I recently had a stay that was ~$550. When I checked out, I had them split the payment and charged $260 to my Amex to trigger the credit and charged the balance to my Citi Hilton visa for 10x points.

Hilton Inn and Suites not count?
I just stayed at a Hilton Inn and Suites for 3 nights and spread a 600 stay across three cards(two amex and rest CSP). It appears this kind of hotel does not trigger the offer even though they're not listed as excluded and from everything I can see are technically under the main Hilton brand. I even split payment across two cards at check out, nothing hit on either. Amex offer email never appeared and now that charges are cleared still nothing. Not sure if I should call since they are even charges and fine print says all room charges must be paid? I also saw something about booking with hilton.com? How would they even reflect that on check out with a CC charge occurring at the hotel itself? Going to try CS anyway, we'll see.

...or it could be that the OP did not stay at a Hilton but stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn or a Hampton Inn and Suites. I have heard of Hilton Suites but never a "Hilton Inn & Suites". The offer was specifically for Hilton hotels and excluded everything else under the Hilton brand umbrella.

Available again
The offer is available again. Just popped up in my offers ($75 off a $350 or more folio at Hilton-only properties in the US and territories)...

I have an additional question that I couldn't find anywhere in the Hilton or Amex forums. Some of the previous offers that have come up specify that the charge must be for one stay, and not a combination of stays that total up to the minimum amount. However, I currently have one for Embassy Suites/Homewood, (and have gotten a few for some of the other brands recently), where the wording says "Get a 1X $45 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend $225+ on room rate & room charges, when you pay for your stay with Embassy Suites or Homewood Suites".
Does anyone have a data point in which more than one stay where the total still met the minimum before the deadline, still qualified?
