The Business Platinum Card® from American Express (review) has a great perk with Hilton.
Amex Business Platinum $50 quarterly Hilton credit
The Amex Business Platinum Card issued in the United States offers up to $200 in Hilton credits annually. This comes in the form of a credit of up to $50 each quarter. There’s no minimum spending beyond that, so as long as you spend $50+ at any eligible Hilton property each quarter, you’ll receive a statement credit for that amount. (Enrollment required)
Note that enrollment is required to use this card, so log into your Amex account and go to the “Benefits” tab. On top of that, you must enroll in the Hilton for Business program (which is Hilton’s free small business rewards program, and it’s worth participating in even beyond this new card benefit).
The statement credit will typically post within a few days, but may take up to 8-12 weeks after a booking has been paid for.
Essentially this benefit works the same as on the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card (review), which also offers up to $200 in Hilton credits annually, broken down to $50 per quarter.
Hey, this is an awesome development!
Over the years, American Express has evolved the value proposition on many of its credit cards, offering valuable credits that require enrollment and often need to be used multiple times per year. While it takes some effort, it also makes it possible to get outsized value.
I’m very happy to see the Amex Business Platinum add this new perk. If you stay at Hiltons at least once per quarter, this is like an extra $200 in value per year. Even if you only stay once or twice per year, it still amounts to some savings.
Keep in mind that when checking out of a hotel, you can typically spread your transaction across multiple cards without issue. So you can always use the Amex Business Platinum to cover $50 of your bill, and then use another card for the balance (ideally one offering bonus points on hotel spending).
Bottom line
The Amex Business Platinum offers yet another credit, in the form of an up to $200 annual Hilton property credit. Enrolled members can receive a $50 statement credit quarterly when spending at least $50 at a Hilton property. It’s always nice to see new card perks added, so I’m a fan of this!
