Is there anything that one can do to be entered into a promotion like this, or is it just luck and/or magic on the Amex part?

I'm currently HH gold and got the same postcard offer today. Perhaps it's because I had been Diamond and have stayed less in recent months.....

out of random luck, my amex qualified. but this language struck me:
"...you can earn double Hilton HHonors bonus points on virtually every dollar you spend."

no terms and conditions, no idea what doesn't count. hmmm...

I am a HH Diamond and got the double points offer from AmeX in the mail yesterday. For the last 3-4 years I have been spending around $3000 per month on the card for business expenses. Earlier this year I paid off the card balance and now rarely hit $300 -$400 per month spending due to my company now picking up most of my expenses.

My theory is that I was targeted because I once was a decent spender, but slacked off for 6-months, thus the double points offer. Any one else in this boat?

I got the offer via snail mail postcard, already registered. Will come in handy for early xmas shopping this season. I am a gold.

Got this promo yesterday by mail. Note it says it's limited to 20,000 bonus points. Which IMHO isn't very much considering the earning ratio.

Just tried the link; it says I'm not qualified. That means I'll continue charging my $3-5k monthly spend to my Starwood Amex.

Then AMEX still wins, doesn't it - and it didn't cost them a dime in bonuses ;-)

Just curious - how do you think Amex would know if you (or anyone else) had Diamond status?
