Log out. Go to the Amex page directly for Aspire application. Begin the process. It will then ask you if you are a current card member. Since yes, log in. Then continue.

I applied on Apr 20 and it's now 9 days later and still no card. Best case it comes tomorrow and that means 10 days have passed. Worst case it takes longer. Surprised it's taking Amex so long to get the card to me.

Does anyone know if the unlimited (+ 2 guests) benefit for Priority Pass on the Aspire is unlimited in the sense you can visit multiple clubs on the same day in the same airport? As an example, if I were at the airport and visited a lounge in one terminal but was transferring to another terminal, could I use the card and visit the lounge in the other terminal? I wasn't sure they were limiting it in some way.

So when it's you (the cardholder) and a guest, does that count as 2 against your 10? (I have the Ascend card, not the Aspire).

Can someone please share the phone number for Concierge for the Hilton Aspire card? What about Global Assist too? I found the number for the Premium Roadside Assistance 1-855-431-1156.
However, all the Concierge numbers I find online are for the Platinum card.
Thanks!

Does anyone know how to set the monthly statement closing date for an Amex account? I'm going to apply for an Aspire and the application says pre-approved, but I haven't submitted it yet. If I can, I'd like to apply on a date where I can predict the account monthly closing date. With Chase, I can easily set this after I open the account, but I've been unsuccessful changing the close date with Amex (or Citi). I can change the payment due date, but the closing date remains constant. I think it's probably established when the account is created, but I don't know the details. Does anyone know? Thanks.

I have done it with Citi several times. However, you have to ask them to change the payment date, and have that a few days before you want the statement to close.

I have the business card and about 2-3 days after crossing $15K I received an email that I earned the first free weekend night certificate, which appeared in the account shortly thereafter.
Several days ago I crossed the $40K in posted transactions, but still no word about the diamond status. Anyone has some data points on how long it actually takes to get upgraded? I have a couple trips coming up soon and this may influence where I book them..

Just fell from Diamond to Gold after injuries kept me off the road quite a bit in the last two years. I signed up for the Aspire card to get a jump start now that I'm back on the road again. The terms say it can take up to 12 weeks to reflect Diamond status; for those who have signed up for the card, how long does it actually take?

Ie, it takes a different number of days depneinding on when you're approved. But assuming you didn't apply on a Tuedsday, it's likely to appear on the next Tuesday or maybe the one after that.
Earlier in this thread there was an example of people who applied (either for a new card or an upgrade) on Wednesday, Friday, and Monday, and all of them had their new status show up the following Tuesday. I'd hate to declare that a "rule" yet with just 3 datapoints, but it's a "hint at a rule" perhaps?
