AMEX TERMS:
During each year of your Card Membership ("reward year"), you are eligible to receive up to $250 total in statement credits on your Card Account for eligible purchases made directly with participating Hilton Resorts with your Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card during that reward year. Your first reward year begins on your account opening date. Each subsequent reward year begins on the anniversary of your account opening date.
Eligible Hilton Resort purchases must be made directly with the participating Hilton Resort and charged to your Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card account for the benefit to apply. Incidental charges (including charges made at restaurants, spas, and other establishments within the hotel property) must be charged to your room and paid for with your Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card at checkout in order for them to be recognized as Hilton Resort purchases. Visit hilton.com/resorts for the list of participating Hilton Resorts. Purchases made by both the Basic and Additional Card Members on the eligible Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, each Card Account is eligible for up to a total of $250 per renewal year in statement credits across all Cards on the Card Account. Please allow 8-12 weeks after the eligible Hilton purchase is charged to your Card Account for statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account. Please call the number on the back of your Card if statement credits have not posted after 12 weeks from the date of purchase. Card Members remain responsible for timely payment of all charges.
FAQ
ELIGIBLE RATES
1) Do you have to book directly through Hilton in order to receive the resort credit?
NO. See below.
2) If I’m booking at Hilton.com or through the Hilton app, etc., are any rates not eligible for the resort credit?
Any rates charged by the hotel directly will trigger the credit. Advance purchase rates for properties in the USA are charged by Hilton Corporate in Tennessee and WILL NOT trigger the credit. Advance purchase rates for properties outside the USA are typically charged by the hotel directly, so these WILL trigger the credit. According to DoC and the discussion from post #849 onwards advance purchase rates are becoming ineligible starting Aug 1, 2019, though it is unclear how this will be enforced for international properties.
3) I have to book through my corporate travel agent or use my corporate rate code at Hilton.com, will I still get the resort credit?
YES. Any rates that are charged by the hotel directly will trigger the credit.
4) What about bookings through Orbitz, Expedia, and other online travel agencies?
As long as the rate is “pay at hotel” then it will trigger the credit. Prepaid and other special rates that are charged directly by Orbitz or Expedia, etc. and not the hotel will not trigger the credit.
5) I’m looking at an eligible hotel that charges a refundable one-night deposit for all bookings, can I get the resort credit for this?
YES. As long as the deposit is charged directly by an eligible hotel to your Aspire, it will trigger the credit.
6) I see the Aspire also offers a $100 property credit at certain Conrad and Waldorf Astoria properties. What is the difference? Can I combine both credits?
YES, these are different credits but it is possible to combine them. In order to be eligible for the $100 property credit you must book a specific rate via the www.hiltonhonorsaspirecard.com website. The $100 property credit will be applied by the property at check-out before you card is charged, while the $250 resort credit will be applied by AMEX a few days after the charge appears on your statement.
For example, say you book the qualifying property credit rate via the website above for 2 nights @ $250/night, and then charge $100 in dinner to your room. At check-out, your preliminary folio is $600. The front desk will apply the $100 credit, making your final folio $500 which would be charged to your Aspire. A few days later AMEX will apply the $250 resort credit to your AMEX statement, making your total out of pocket only $250 for a $600 stay. Not bad!
ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES
As of 2022 or 2023, there is no static list of eligible properties.
You can either go to Hilton.com/resorts and hit "explore more resorts," or apply the "Resorts" filter on the search yourself.
7)Only properties listed at the official Hilton Resorts link (hilton.com/resorts) are eligible for this credit!
8) However, the hilton.com/resorts website isn’t the best! Please search thoroughly. For example, the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas does not appear when you search North America > US & Hawaii > Nevada, but it does appear if you search the map.
9) I didn’t see a property listed at the official Hilton Resorts link, but it did show up when searching Hilton.com and filtering amenities to “Resort Property,” can I get the resort credit here?
NO. Only properties listed at the official Hilton Resorts link (hilton.com/resorts) are eligible for the credit.
10) What about this hotel I stayed at last year, it’s not listed at the official Hilton Resorts link, but it has a pool and a spa and the sun was out when I was there, surely I can get the resort credit there?
NO. Only properties listed at the official Hilton Resorts link (hilton.com/resorts) are eligible for the credit.
11) OK, I get it, only properties listed at the official Hilton Resorts link (hilton.com/resorts) are eligible for the credit, but are there any others that have fallen through the cracks?
Any properties that are not listed at the official Hilton Resorts link but with positive reports of triggering the resort credit are listed below:
- HILTON WAIKIKI BEACH HOTEL (reported by jphripjah May 1, 2018) Has been added to hilton.com/resorts since.
El Conquistador Tucson, A Hilton Resort is not listed on Hilton Resorts searchable link (by state), but shows up on the map. It is reported it by mdosu April 10, 2018 that there is positive report of triggering the resort credit.
ELIGIBLE CHARGES
12) What charges are eligible for this resort credit?
ANYTHING charged directly by the hotel or to your room by an eligible property will trigger the resort credit. Room rate, taxes, fees, room service, dining, bars, spa, transportation, jet skis, beach chairs, excursions, etc. etc. etc. AMEX doesn’t discriminate on what the charge is, as long as the charge appears directly from an eligible hotel it will trigger the credit.
13) I booked an award stay using Honors points at an eligible property, can I still get the resort credit for incidentals charged to the room if I pay with my Aspire?
YES. ANYTHING charged to your room by an eligible property will trigger the resort credit, as long as you settle the charges with your Aspire.
14) I booked a prepaid rate through Orbitz at an eligible property with a different credit card, can I still get the resort credit for my hotel bar tab that I charged to the room if settle this at check-out with my Aspire?
YES. ANYTHING charged to your room by an eligible property will trigger the resort credit, as long as you settle the charges with your Aspire.
15) I bought some cat food and fresh underwear at the hotel gift shop and charged it to my room. It’s an eligible property and I’m paying with my Aspire, but surely I won’t get the resort credit for this?
WRONG. ANYTHING charged to your room by an eligible property will trigger the resort credit, as long as you settle the charges with your Aspire. And don’t call me Shirley.
CREDIT TIMING
16) How long does the resort credit take to post to my Amex statement?
The resort credit typically postsbetween 2-5 days after 10 days or even more after the eligible charge posts to your Amex account. Note that sometimes your charge will not even be processed until the following day, early in the morning.
17) What happens if I stay in an eligible property, pay with my Aspire, but the resort credit doesn't post automatically?
If the resort credit hasn't posted within 7 days, it will most likely not post automatically, and you need to call Amex to have it manually applied. Unfortunately Amex typically requires you to wait until 8 weeks after the charge before they will manually apply the resort credit. The credit not posting automatically is very rare though, see below.
18) What properties seem to have issues with the credit posting automatically?
FT members have reported that the resort credit has not posted automatically at several of the eligible resorts:
LXR Susona Bodrum, Turkey - May 2021 [Also, bonus is showing 3x, not 14x. Indicating this hotel is not coded correctly in their system. Multiple chats did not resolve this problem but a phone call did.
Resort credit has now posted and was told this should be fixed going forward. Still waiting for add'l 11x bonus points]
19) Is the credit per membership year or per calendar year?
Per membership year. Your first reward year begins on your account opening date. Each subsequent reward year begins on the anniversary of your account opening date.
20) For which resorts has the resort credit posted?
Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines
Crocksford Las Vegas
WA Grand Wailea - Multiple reports of credit not posting automatically, however one positive data point in Feb 2019 of the credit posting, YMMV.

The interesting thing is I have rarely considered the points earned in my calculations of things. I understand that the 21K points does have a estimated "value" but it is only when I can get enough points via spend to get a free night that I actually feel it is worth anything. and I don't generally spend money on hotels period, and not enough on Aspire to feel I will accumulate enough points to get the necessary threshold. 
Of course, eventually it will build up to a useable amount, but I would rather take the savings in hand.
Oh I am thinking that the OP would just be able to use the $250 at the resort during the stay so there wouldn't be much of a problem to finding use for the $250.

I am diamond + Aspire, so my multiplier is x34 (no promo) = 21K or with the current promo x44 = 28K earning
So if the points earned on the $640 are worth over $100, I decided just to let it ride (not cancel and switch to points) because in the end my new goal is to get my point balance back up in order to do another 5th night free reward stay at one of the "inspirational" high end properties.
RE: Considering the "opportunity cost" of points earned/not on a paid stay, To me this is a worth while calculation especially when they have double or triple points and you have an Aspire card.

My debate wasn't to use "existing points" vs spend $640, After a 5-night redemption... I'm all out of points, so my debate/calculation was buying the points ($475 cost with the 100% bonus promo) vs $640 Hotel Cash Rate ---- Difference of $165

Just wondering, how does the points purchase code with Aspire? Would it be considered a Hilton purchase for the purposes of the Aspire multipliers?

Thanks for the help, I usually am on the fence and appreciate the comments and opinions! I was just initially caught off guard that the 100% buy point promo came out literally days after I booked the stay and had remorse, but in hindsight, I'm OK with paying for the stay. Need to earn points some how for next years Maldives trip lol.

Depending on promos, its often upward of 20% back. It could make a big difference. Lowering values by 20% though would hurt referral income though, so I see why they ignore it

IMO, not factoring in points earned on cash stays is the reason why TPG and other similar travel blogs over state values (TPG being the worst). They simply take the cash rate vs points, and boom you have a valuation.

I can totally see how it all can work out, just personally, seeing that bill and knowing all that money is going out of my bank account to pay that bill always makes me queasy haha. After accumulating a nice chunk of points and FNAs by not traveling for two years during the pandemic, the inevitable time when I will have to start paying for hotels again will be personally painful.

Instead of a new thread, I will ask here (feel free to move this!): I have the base Hilton AMEX now, for the past 3 years (downgraded myself in 2020 just when the pandemic started). I stayed Diamond the whole time, which was nice but of course only traveled maybe 3x in those 3 years. Now I have a choice to make: Hilton has offered me a "Stay 3x, earn Diamond through April 2024" which is quite tempting. However, I don't have any real window for travel till after the promo period, so I would be doing 3 throw-away mattress runs locally (around $280-320 total)
It seems like I might as well just upgrade my AMEX again to Aspire, pay the $450 and get the $200 Hilton credit? Or am I doing the math wrong?
Thanks!

One other option would be to outright get the Surpass card for a $95AF as opposed to the Aspire's $450 - you'd only be Gold, but a minimal change, more importantly you would get a sign-up bonus, and while you don't get a free night outright, you do get one after spending $15K in a year.

If it's because it's an award stay and you don't have any other charges, and you charge the resort fee to your room, then yes. All room charges at a resort on the list qualify for the resort fee.
But of course, you'll only get the credit for the amount you charge. If that's way less than $250, you'll get way less than $250 credit.

If you decide you want it, dont forget about the other benefits. 250 resort credit (only helpful if you use it), airline incidental credit, and free night. Can easily exceed the 450 fee

Looking to use my resort credit in Tokyo. I was looking at the Hilton Tokyo Bay but noticed this article where this couple was able to use it at Hilton Tokyo Odaiba which looks to have a more convenient location. Hilton Tokyo Odaiba isn't on the resort list however, and this article was posted in 2019.
Are there DP's of the credit working at places not on the list? Or has the list just changed since 2019?
