They are not referral links. I got them in an email from HHonors.
And while the offer is not new, the links are, as UA Fan announced on his thread that the old links died.

Moderator clarification
The links did contain information of the type used to track referrals. Information in the same format could be used for other purposes, such as to track which email generated the application. I removed it, and verified that the links still point to the correct offers.

I currently have an AMEX hilton card. I got it Feb 2012.
How does AMEX structure their CC churns? I know, for instance, Citi requires something like 18-24 months before you requalify for a bonus
Would the 2 browser trick work to get both of these cards or is this more of a 'choose one or the other' type of thing?
T&C for both says
So I should qualify for the bonus ... My AMEX gives me silver, so I will probably just apply for the surpass.
EDIT 2: Since I can't figure out if I already got the 50k, I decided to just get the surpass @ 60k and was instantly approved

Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product within the last 12 months or any other Consumer Hilton HHonors™ Card from American Express® account within the last 90 days.

Just to be clear, AMEX starts the waiting period from when a person *closed* his/her account, not when he/she *applied* for his/her account. This is my current understanding, but I'd be happy to learn that I'm wrong.

Nothing about closing accounts. Then again, I haven't dealt with AMEX too much, so I might be in the wrong.
FWIW I got instant approval for the surpass

I have limited experience with AMEX, but that is not my understanding. I applied and was approved for the SURPASS yesterday, will call and confirm the bonus when the card arrives this week.

I believe you will qualify for the difference, not the full bonus.

If so, and you haven't had the Surpass before, shouldn't you get the bonus miles?
