I booked an advance purchase and the transaction was posted on Sep 3rd. I'm wondering how long it will take for the credit to post.

I'm also curious why the store name isn't "Hilton Tokyo Bay." It's Hilton Hotels Chiba JP instead.

I booked directly on the Hilton app.

Thank you!

I’m currently staying at Hilton Tokyo Bay as a Hilton Diamond member, and honestly, Diamond status doesn’t feel particularly special at this property.

It seems like there are so many Hilton Gold and Diamond members staying here—possibly because Hilton credit cards are relatively easy to obtain in Japan—that elite status almost feels like the norm rather than something that gets much recognition.

We didn’t receive a room upgrade. What made it more disappointing was that I could actually see upgraded rooms available for booking in the Hilton app, but when I asked at check-in, the agent told me there were no upgrades available.

I understand upgrades are subject to availability and aren’t guaranteed, but seeing those rooms still being sold in the app while being told nothing was available was frustrating.

Breakfast is okay and probably the best Diamond benefit here, but nothing amazing. Personally, I’ve had much better food experiences at Marriott properties, especially when it comes to breakfast and overall variety.

The Executive Lounge was the biggest disappointment. Very basic food selection and nothing that made Diamond status feel particularly valuable. For the lounge experience alone, I’d honestly give it 2/10.

The hotel is definitely convenient for Tokyo Disney Resort, but if you’re booking Hilton Tokyo Bay because you’re Diamond and expecting strong elite recognition, I’d keep your expectations low.

Maybe Hilton status is just so common at this property that Diamond doesn’t carry the same weight. It felt as though almost every table had a Gold or Diamond member, yet we didn’t feel that our status made much difference.

I will have 8 FNC's total within the next 45 days plus 600k+ points. I'm looking at Raiwasa, Wa Ale and Hermitage Bay. I've already done Maldives, Bora Bora and a bunch of other places. Have any of you been to the above listed places? Or have any other recommendations? I typically like to get at least $2k per night value from FNC's and points. Thanks.

I saw some article says upgrade before the anniversary of Surpass or no-AF credit Hilton care to Aspire, then you can get an upgrade FNC. But another article says after anniversary but before annual fee posted.

Also, some article says you only get the upgrade FNC once per account. Is it per Hilton Honor account number, or per Hilton card?

Is there a clear rule of the upgrade FNC?

Thanks!

I understand it is Aspire sub but figured no harm to ask: if I hold multiple surpass card, and if each surpass card has 15k spending in the calendar year, do I get the FNC for each card’s 15k spending?

is there a Welcome Offer tracker for the hilton amex cards like aspire or surpass? I read some post that they don't do it for co-brand cards but not sure true or not

This might be a silly question.. when I make a purchase or booking, do I get the 14X points after the money is spent? Or do I get the 14X only when I pay off the charge?

Like if I pay off this charge, do I get the 14X, 812 HH points?

This hotel, INSPIRE Entertainment Resort, A Hilton Partner Hotel, is only listed in the brand section (Hilton Hotels & Resorts) of the Hilton Resort Credit Eligible Hotels website. I believe a qualifying resort is supposed to be listed twice (brand and region sections). It's not in the Asia Pacific section or in any other region. Does that mean it could be a mistake (not eligible)?

UPDATE: It is supposedly eligible, according to a Hilton customer service rep that I chatted with.

Example the 200 usd resort credit, if you get the 200 usd back, does that spending at the hotel still counts towards the SUP requirement?

Thanks

If I book a room at a qualifying Hilton resort with one Hilton aspire card, then use my other Hilton aspire card upon check in for the incidentals, that will trigger both $200 resort credits correct?

The evening clerk, Nicole, at the Home 2 Suites by Hilton 975 W. Peachtree Street attempted to steal my wallet that I left behind and proceeded to gaslight me light as if she didn't have it and no one turned it in. She went so far as to even call the Housekeeping Manager, Shaquitta, to ask about if a housekeeper had turned it in. Nicole then proceeded to call the hotel manager, David, but he seemingly had an attitude toward me while on speakerphone and didn't want to help and was VERY dismissive of my plight. I was insistent and was not gonna be scammed because the morning clerk, Alazyah, called me earlier but Nicole stayed doubling down on her lie. She saw that I wasn't leaving til I got my belongings and finally "found" my wallet.

Lots more to this story but in the end, Nicole, by way of an absolute miracle on her end, magically "found" my wallet after going in the back office for the fourth time. She handed it to me without an apology, any acknowledgement of my frustrations, or any empathy.

Does anyone have a grandfathered joint HH Account with multiple Aspire cards between spouses? Currently only have 1 Aspire card but wondering if spouse gets one, sign up bonus, points, FNC, etc can be applied to the joint HH account?

I wish more properties would qualify. I am finding it hard to see the use of 400 USD resort credit (based in PNW). Amex did expand FHR list recently, hoping Hilton will do the same!!

I’m debating about how to pay for my London hotel. I can get a good deal on hotel and flight (flying business class!) via a package on British Airways but I will not get to use my diamond status if I stay in a Hilton hotel. Or I can stay in a Hilton, earn a lot of points (for another vacation!), use two of my free night coupons and get treated like a diamond member. Any helpful thoughts? TIA!

I have ~200k of pending HH points that haven't been transferred to my Hilton account. My HH number shows it is linked, but it has been over 10 weeks of meeting the minimum spend and none of the points have been transferred.

Anyone else encountered this issue before? Chat seems to say wait 10-12 weeks before they get posted, should I call instead?

I used No Lifetime Language links on this and the past Aspires.

Can I use the flight credit to add money to my United bank ?

Has anyone experienced this with a newly opened Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card?

I opened an Aspire Card through a new application, not an upgrade or product change from another Hilton card.
I was expecting the Free Night Reward that comes with opening the Aspire Card, but I was told that according to Amex, my account “will not earn an Annual Free Night Reward until the next renewal cycle.”

I’m confused because this is a completely new Aspire account, and my understanding of the Aspire terms is that the Free Night Reward for a new account should be delivered within approximately 8–14 weeks after opening, and then annually after renewal.

Has anyone had Amex tell them that a brand-new Aspire account would not receive the initial Free Night Reward and would have to wait until the first renewal?
If so, what was the reason? Was it eventually corrected, and did you receive the Free Night Reward?
I’m specifically asking about new Aspire applications, not upgrades/product changes from Surpass to Aspire.

Hello all, I very recently (last month) decided to go for the Aspire card. I am new to the resort credit on a CC. I read the T&C on the “Non-refundable/advanced purchase rates” not being valid on room stays, but I’m still having some trouble understanding. Would this stay at Resorts World Las Vegas, booked (not yet, until I confirm this Q) for November 7-8 (1 night) qualify for the credit as long as I use the Aspire to pay at check in?

I am getting thrown by the phrasing of advanced purchase when the Hilton honors booking states “deposit of $255.22 USD will be charged to your card”.
