Has anyone stayed at the Grand Wailea in Maui lately and still had problems with the $250 Aspire credit posting? Saw some in this thread from 1/2 a year ago, wanted to know if it was still an issue.

correct. the anniversary date is solely based on the account open date. so in theory, there should be some people who had their aspire anniversary come due throughout 2018 after they did a PC as soon as the aspire card launched in early 2018. this would impact their 250 resort credit reset dates.

however, lets get real. most would use the strategy to app aspire first. then play the PC game to hit the bonus again. also to triple dip airline credits. yes, some did PC w/ bonus during the summer of 2018 when the option became live, but look at this thread. this thread is dedicated to the aspire $250 resort credit and its only 12 pages long (depending on browser) for a years worth of time. compare that to something well known like amex plat airline credits. meaning, you have very few people who can give you accurate DP about the 250 aspire resort credit based on their 2018 anniversary date. 2019 will be much better as people are well versed and ready to maximize.

bruh. you are being stonewalled. those aspire reps are not the same caliber as elite plat or centurion line. i assume you have a plat. go call that number and ask to have a case opened. i have never seen amex credit legitimately take 12 weeks for any auto credit like "spend x get y" offer. thats 3 damn months. crazy talk. but you know what takes 3 months? clawbacks.

thank you for sharing the DP i wanted to see. was a little skeptical about WA vegas being coded in NV vs CA as noted in the HH resort link. obviously a website error, but I was curious if this mistake also had an impact on the MCC. looks like it doesnt. i look forward to staying there myself given its still a mandarin oriental shell and all the same staff. it should be awesome.

Had a stay over New Years. Charge posted 1/6. No credit yet.

I paid for an AP for Hilton Odawara Resort in Japan in October 2018 for a stay in June 2019. The resort didn't even charge me anything until November 2018 and I was expecting the resort credit to trigger. I decided to wait for the 12 weeks to see if anything will be posted. Fast forward to now, it has not posted. I think I will just use the credit for incidental charges once at the resort at this point.

So assuming that it's a 2 month wait if i decide to stay at Grand Wailea and use the credit?

If you need a response within a day, yes, assume that there hasn't been a change since the last posts, and that But yes, it can take 8-12 weeks per the terms of the credit card that you signed up for.
Of course, folks have had the credit post within weeks at dozens of properties. Not every single one is posted here because the thread would be 125265 pages long, and it is already filled with people asking the same questions that have been answered dozens of times. You really cant expect an immediate response.

I read a post on another site (can't find it now) that the poster stayed at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale, used both the Aspire credit and the Amex Offer. He even booked with Amex FHR.

Booked Conrad Bali at the lowest AP sale rate on 1/10. Last night saw the credit on my account. Post 1/11, Credit 1/13, but it took slightly longer than that for the data to show in my account.

Stayed in Sept 2018 and none of the $800 in charges at Grand Wailea was reimbursed. Called Amex and it rep said it was not an authorized spend.

What did you charge? We plan on charging restaurants and valet parking for sure.

JJeffrey

I sure hope you called back as the rep was obviously clueless, what you charge has no bearing on the credit as long as the charge comes directly from a qualifying property.

Eujeanie

Actually, I believe if a resort outsources the valet, spa, etc. to outside companies, and coded it that way, they may not be considered hotel charges.

That's why it's important that the poster comes back and tells us what he charged for $800 that did not count...and it had to have not counted twice, once automatically from the original charge, and a second time when he called about it and they still said no.

Not looking for a room but currently in Scottsdale and want to treat the wife. Spa, a nice supper, golf? Thanks for any experiences you've had using the credit in the area.

shanna135

Don't need a room but looking at some ways my wife and I could used the credit. Golf, spa. food...What are some ways you've used yours?

Just have things charged to the room. The Hilton is very liberal with the resort credit.
