TPG said that staying at any Waldorf-Astoria or Conrad property will qualify for the $250 resort credit. Is that not true? The Wiki says that only eligible resorts at the Hilton.com/resorts website will qualify.

Wouldn't that be nice? The Amex offers happen immediately - within moments of checking out you will get an e-mail saying "congratulations, you have used your Amex offer". The resort credits seem to take a lot longer, so they already know you only spent $200, and will still have to spend $50 more at another resort somewhere.

Getting an Amex credit doesn't mean you didn't spend $250 at a resort. You get points on the $250 you spent and I would expect the credit as well. In any event triggering the resort credit doesn't require spending $250, you are credited for all resort spending up to $250 so in any event you will receive at least a $250 credit.

Do you have to be staying at a Hilton resort to use the 250 resort credit? Thanks for your help.

My husband upgraded from the Ascend to the Aspire two weeks ago . Had a conference by chance at the Hilton Orlando starting on Sunday. On Monday I saw the $50 Hilton credit on Amex and added it. A few days after check out both the $50 and the $250 credits hit. Good way to take chip away at $450 cc fee!

My apologies....but I didn't see in the WIKI. When this thread began nearly one year ago, ADVANCED PURCHASE RATES FOR DOMESTIC US PROPERTIES were not triggering the credit.
I read a few examples that people thought this was corrected and a couple that said that any AP booked Hilton hotel was also triggering the credit.
Has anyone had recent experience booking an AP Rate for a domestic US RESORT PROPERTY and having the credit post automatically?

Stayed at Embassy Suites by Hilton Greenville Golf Resort & Conference Center on 03/15/2017 for two days and haven't got $250 credits yet. Is it normal?
Thanks,

The AP rate is such a large difference in price. Silly to give up the difference of $246 (HH discount) and $175 for the AP (this is for the Hilton Anatole in Dallas).

Longtime reader, first time poster.
Booked Hilton Ponce Resort using a promo for buying three nights, get one free on the Hilton APP. Was listed as a non-refundable rate.
Total was $698.52.
Used Amex promo for $50 off $250 and was applied during stay. Then received the $250 resort credit on the following day after checking out. Not a bad double-dip.

Has anyone ever had success getting the resort credit by just golfing (not staying at the resort) at The Boulders Golf Course near Scottsdale, AZ?
I have a credit expiring Mid-April, and am going to Scottsdale in early July. Was thinking of calling and trying to pre-pay for a tee time to trigger the credit.
Thanks in advance.
