Not especially, but London prices this week were ridiculous, so I had to venture a bit further out to Luton. I think an estate agent would describe it as 'well connected to transport links', with 'planes taking off on one side of the hotel, and the railway the other side.

Just had my first stay with this promo post flawlessly, 23 hours after checkout. Once the CC points hit, it'll be 55 points/dollar.
For those keeping track at home, that would be $1730 spend for a night at a 95k property, which if running $500/night would be a 30% return. But people can keep saying that there's no value in the Honors program...

Just finished a stay at The Trafalgar in London, paid with the Aspire card (I am the additional holder, not a primary one), and did not get the triple points. Does anyone else have an experience as an additional account holder? Wonder if I should even bother with contacting customer service or whether one just needs to be a primary card holder to get the triple points.

This explained why, when I have actually never used my Barclaycard Hilton card in a hotel I previously was able to get the 2500 bonus on each stay because the payment was registered with a VISA card. This chimed back with the VISA App Bonus promo from 2016.
I would like someone to post if this theory still holds. Perhaps you can ask the main account holder to pay for a stay with a different Amex, on his/her HH account and see if the 3x bonus triggers.

Because I think it works the way I previously wrote here. The credit card is registered on the Members account and I strongly suspect that the same kind of card may trigger the bonus even if its not a HH credit card.

Anyway, customer service added the AmEx bonus immediately when I contacted them.

Its in your profile but its not your card. When you have a HH credit card that is registered in the Members account. As far as Hilton are concerned, they have no idea that you're an additional cardholder on an Aspire card.
That explains my experience, why you didn't get the points and the post I highlighted in the thread where a member received the 3x bonus using a Corp Amex, not the HH Amex because the HH Amex is part of his HH account.

Anyone have any problems getting the points? I had a stay this past weekend that posted. I got the double points bonus but not 3x. Room was paid with my Aspire. I assume everything should have posted at once.

Nope. Mine posted fine. Two recent stays. I was shocked it posted correctly.

All my stays have posted fine and yes all points post at the same time. (looks like some added zeroes appeared in the c&p - the points were all accurate).
