American Express has quietly added a new benefit on The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, offering (up to) $50 in quarterly statement credits for charges at Hilton properties – as flagged by Danny the Deal Guru.

Enrollment is required and it’s also required that you have a Hilton for Business account to participate in the benefit (Hilton for Business is free and earns you extra points, so there is no downside at all for a business to have one!). If you don’t have one, it will prompt you to create one. If you already have one, the registration is pretty much instant (I got an email confirming my enrollment within minutes.

Since it’s only Dec 12th, there’s time to nab a $50 credit still this year.

From the Amex website: 

NEW! Get up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year (up to $50 per quarter) when you enroll in the $200 Hilton Statement Credit Benefit with your Business Platinum Card through American Express. Purchases must be made directly with a property in the Hilton portfolio on your Business Platinum Card. Hilton for Business membership is required. If your business does not already have a Hilton for Business account, you will be registered for one at the time you enroll in the benefit. Hilton for Business offers additional travel value such as access to discounted rates, travel management tools, and loyalty benefits.

How it Works

  1. Basic Business Platinum Card Members are eligible to receive the $200 Statement Credit Benefit. Basic Card Member must have a valid Hilton Honors account and must be registered in the Hilton for Business program to be eligible. For questions on Hilton Honors, including on how to register for the Hilton Honors program, please contact Hilton at 1-800-4HONORS (800-446-6677) or go to https://www.hilton.com/en/hilton-honors/join/ to enroll.
  2. If Card Members are not already registered in the Hilton for Business program, they will be registered in the Hilton for Business program when they enroll in the $200 Statement Credit Benefit. If a Card Member already has an existing Hilton for Business Account tied to the Hilton Honors number entered, they will be enrolled in the $200 Statement Credit Benefit only.
  3. To enroll in the $200 Statement Credit Benefit, the Basic Card Member must enter their existing Hilton Honors number and select “enroll now”. In order to successfully complete your registration, your full name, email address, or phone number must match on both your American Express Card Account and Hilton Honors Account.
  4. Enrollment is not effective until the customer has received an email or letter from American Express confirming enrollment; any Hilton purchases prior to receipt of that confirmation will not qualify for the benefit. If you believe you’ve enrolled but haven’t received an email or letter, please call the number on the back of your Card.
  5. Card Members who are registered for the Hilton for Business program through the $200 Statement Credit Benefit enrollment process will receive an email from Hilton welcoming them to the Hilton for Businessprogram that includes program details and a link to complete their Hilton for Business account profile.
  6. Once enrolled, the Card Account can receive up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year (up to $50 quarterly) for eligible purchases charged directly with Hilton.
  7. Eligible purchases by both the enrolled Basic Card Member and Employee Card Members on the enrolled Card Account are eligible for statement credit. However, each Card Account is only eligible for up to $50 in statement credits per quarter for a total of up to $200 per calendar year across all Cards on the enrolled Card Account.
  8. Statement credits are typically received within a few days but may take up to 8-12 weeks after a booking has been paid.

  1. Thanks for letting us know about this new benefit, Dave!
    I read thru the terms and conditions and nothing is mentioned about the spend having to be at a US Hilton or in USD, so charges at Hilton locations worldwide should trigger the benefit. Your thoughts?
