Yes... we have 2 Surpass Cards, 1 Aspire and 1 Business... the quarterly credits are making things complicated. On the other hand, the value of those credits outweigh the yearly fee alone. So still a good deal, but only if you stay at Hiltons frequently. And it's more annoying.
The whole thing seems too niche. Perfect for someone who spends more than 60k, but no more than 100k, doesn't have personal versions, and would waste a FNC at the Hampton Inn. A big spender could just put $60k on a 2nd Aspire card instead.
I'll most likely get the 15k FNC before June and then keep the card for $240 on Hilton spends per year... in that case, I'll get $45 per year or of the card (+2500 HH points)... rather limited use
I’m not sure which is the best Amex business card but in my personal opinion if you already have the aspire card I think the business card is not so appealing.
Was actually just nice to get another FNC. With this missing, the real value went down a lot, while the price went up. You still can get some value out of it, but it's by far not the product I signed up for. :-(
Nothing is black or white. ;-) Often it's about personal preference. For me hotel cards/points are worth more than airline miles. This particular card, however, is not worth it.
If I understand the terms and conditions right, you should still be able to get that even on new cards: "Priority Pass Select The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card will no longer offer a complimentary membership to the Priority Pass™ Select program per the following schedule: Priority Pass Select™ Membership Enrollment Deadline: Through June 30, 2024, you may still enroll in the benefit by calling the American Express customer service number on the back of your card." www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/card-application/apply/prospect/terms/hilton-honors-american-express-business-credit-card/57460-9-0?key=tncBody&rwdFlag=rwd#offer-terms
Keeping up with time-based credits on Amex cards has become a nuisance. Cool vid👍🏾
Yes, absolutely. Telling the front desk to charge money from different cards, makes them crazy as well. :-D
Not sure on this one. These quarterly credits are getting a bit annoying IMO. Thanks for the heads up on the changes + video!

@@GaJaDreams but annual fee for the business card can be written off as a business expense. Plus I can now use the 5% as my catch all card.
Never was keen on Hilton cards, hotel etc and I was right. 🎉

If I sign up for this card now, do I still get to enroll for the Priority Pass until 30.6.?
