Terms and Conditions
1. Earn 100,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points and a $100 Statement Credit
You can earn 100,000 Hilton Honors™ Bonus Points and a $100 Statement Credit after you spend $2,000 (the "Threshold Amount") or more on eligible purchases on your Hilton Honors American Express Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership, starting from the date that your account is opened. In rare instances, your period to spend $2,000 may be shorter than 6 months if there is a delay in receiving your Card. Also, purchases may fall outside of the 6 month period in some cases, such as a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction. (For example, if you buy goods online, the purchase date may be the date the goods are shipped). Eligible purchases to meet the Threshold Amount can be made by both the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on a single Card Account. Additional Card Members are not eligible to receive this offer. Eligible purchases are purchases for goods and services minus returns and other credits. Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, cash advances, purchase of travelers checks, purchase or reloading of prepaid cards, purchases of gift cards, person-to-person payments, or purchases of other cash equivalents. Hilton Honors Bonus Points will be credited to your Hilton Honors account 8-12 weeks after the Threshold Amount has been reached. The $100 Statement Credit will be posted to your Card account within 8-12 weeks after you reach the Threshold Amount. Bonus Points do not count toward elite tier qualification; for more information, visit HiltonHonors.com/terms. Your Card account must not be canceled or past due at the time of fulfillment of this offer.
In rare circumstances, you may need to pay down your balance during the billing cycle to help free up spending capacity to make purchases to meet the spend threshold. It may take up to five days after payment for spending capacity to be updated.

2. Hilton Honors Bonus Points on Eligible Purchases
Hilton Honors Bonus Points earned using your Hilton Honors American Express Card:
You will receive 3 Hilton Honors Bonus Points for each dollar of eligible purchases.
You will receive 4 additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points, for a total of 7, for each dollar of eligible purchases charged directly with a property within the Hilton portfolio, including bookings and incidental charges. To receive the 4 additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points for charges made at the time of booking, the booking must be made directly through a reservation channel operated by Hilton. You can receive the 4 additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points for incidental charges made at the hotel (including charges made at restaurants, spas, and other establishments) if those charges can be and are charged to your room and paid for with your Hilton Honors American Express Card at checkout. You will receive 2 additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points, for a total of 5, for each dollar of eligible purchases at the following categories of merchants: restaurants located in the U.S., supermarkets located in the U.S. and on gasoline at gas stations located in the U.S. Note that purchases of groceries made at superstores, warehouse clubs, and convenience stores, and purchases from meal-kit delivery services will only get 3 Bonus Points per dollar. Purchases of gasoline at supermarkets, superstores, and warehouse clubs will only get 3 Bonus Points per dollar. To get additional Points for a restaurant purchase, the purchase must be at a restaurant located in the United States. You will NOT get additional Points for purchases made at a restaurant owned by a U.S. company but located outside the U.S. (e.g. Hard Rock Café in Paris). You also will NOT get additional Points for restaurant purchases at nightclubs, convenience stores, grocery stores, or supermarkets. You may not get additional Points for purchases at a restaurant located within another establishment (e.g. a restaurant inside a hotel, casino, or event venue). For example, purchases made at a restaurant located within a hotel may be recognized as a purchase at a hotel, not a restaurant. Your Hilton Honors Points are subject to Hilton Honors Terms and Conditions; see HiltonHonors.com/terms. Eligible purchases are purchases for goods and services minus returns and other credits. Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, cash advances, purchases of travelers checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, purchases of gift cards, person-to-person payments, or purchases of other cash equivalents. Hilton Honors Bonus Points you earn with your Card will be posted to your Hilton Honors account up to 12 weeks after the end of your billing period.
Merchants are assigned codes based on what they primarily sell. We group certain merchant codes into categories that are eligible for additional Points. A purchase with a merchant will not receive additional Points if the merchant’s code is not included in a reward category. You may not receive additional Points if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as eligible for a reward category. For example, you may not receive additional Points when: a merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services; or a merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers); or you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet.
