Earn 5 Honors points with Amex promotion: Expired??
I got a flyer in the mail today that says if I go to www.americanexpress.com/hhfivepoints and enter a code, I will get 5 points per dollar spent on my HHonors Amex from Dec 15 to Jan 15.
But when I go there, it says the promotion is expired? Any thoughts?

As a new AMEX holder, we were wondering, how do they grade Walmart? DO they deliniate between crap and food since groceries are 5 per dollar?

I don't know specifically about the Hilton AMEX, but every other credit card that I've seen (including other AMEXs) that gives more points for "groceries", that's shorthand: what they actually give more points for is for "stand-alone grocery stores". Ie, Safeway/Vons or Kroger/Ralph's or Winn Dixie (and maybe even 7-11) counts, a superstore like Walmart which has groceries as a subset doesn't count.
Similarly, it's stand-alone gas stations (so Costco doesn't count) and stand-alone drug stores. (Although drug stores inside stand-alone grocery stores do count, and in my experience with other cards, 7-11s combined with gas staitons both may count.
)
