Credits 1

Every statement credit on this card, how often it comes back and when it resets. Together they’re worth up to $240 a year in cash credits, not counting ones you unlock by spending, points or free nights.

Every quarter

Hilton Credit
$60/quarterResets Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct

Up to $60 per calendar quarter on purchases made directly with a Hilton-portfolio property, booked through Hilton's own channels; on-site charges count when billed to your room. Third-party bookings don't count, and unused amounts don't roll over.

Before you apply

American Express’s application rules, as reported by people who applied. Banks don’t publish most of these. All banks’ rules

2/90 Firm rule

No more than two new Amex credit cards in a 90-day span. Charge cards such as Platinum, Gold and Green are left out of the count. A third credit card application within 90 days is usually turned down.

1/5 Soft rule

One new Amex credit card every 5 days at most. A second application within 5 days usually sits in pending until the 5 days are up.

5 credit cards Firm rule

You can usually have up to 5 Amex credit cards open at the same time. Charge cards are separate. With 5 open, new Amex credit cards get declined. Closing or downgrading one frees a spot.
