This is the message I've got after filling up the application. Tried it 4 times in both IE and Chrome.
---------------Problem with the input data for one of the fields-------------
Could it mean that they pulled the promotion?

For those that signed up for the Hilton Surpass card a while back here is a no annual fee Hilton Amex card that can net up to 62,500 points.
It is an easy 50k points and more if you actually stay at their hotels.
I recently signed up for the Surpass card and have received the points. I just applied for this card tonight and got instant approval. This should bring most peoples totals over 150k HHonor points.

UPDATE: Tried to do it again from an office computer in another location - same message. Some time ago I had a similar problem with Citi app which was fixed after I typed all the info myself (I had used Roboform before that).

Applied for this card 2 weeks ago, and Im now just seeing the offer for a $50 statement credit on a Hilton stay within the first 3 months. I sent Amex a secure message regarding this. Will see what they have to say about it.

It sounds like it is not possible to get the full bonus for the two Amex Hilton cards. Is there a suggested application order to get the max bonus from both cards (free and Surpass)?

i do remember researching this a ways back and i just applied for this card and was approved. the best approach does seem to be to sign up for this no annual fee card first. then in the future if you sign up for the surpass card you will receive 20000 bonus points. amex will give you the difference in the first purchase bonus between the 2 cards as surpass now has 40000 points after first purchase. but the best option seems to be to get the free card and then wait for a much better offer for the surpass card. some had reported being targeted for bonuses much greater than the 40000 points for the surpass card.

So stupid me didn't check FT for this lovely offer and I applied via the regular amex website. I just got the card and was wondering if sending them an email would get me the offer?

Two or three secure messages with some time gap should do the trick.

This is correct - Amex has a "Member Since" date on your card(s) and will use the earliest one for any subsequent cards they issue you. I have a DL Plat, Plat, and SPG cards and they all say Member Since 98, even tho my Plat card was issued in Feb of this year. Amex will report this date to the credit bureaus as the Open Date on your accounts.

I'm debating pulling the trigger on this 62,500 offer for the non-annual fee card. If there have been better offers in the past I may hold off until they reappear

Amex has been generous in such circumstances (read towards the end):

I suspect with the PRG card they are more generous in giving out miles because they can value them internally at a lower cost than buying the HHonor points outright, plus they get to aggressively promote their own program. It's also a completely different department for requests like yours, since MR is administered by Amex.
