DansDeals will receive compensation if you are approved for a credit card via a link in this post. Terms apply to American Express benefits and offers, visit americanexpress.com to learn more.
Update, 12/30: You must spend your Q4 2024 $50 credit by 12/31. You can buy a $50 Gift Card here.
Update, 12/18: The credit has now posted:
Update, 12/15: As predicted in the original post below, I will receive a credit for the $50 Hilton gift card that I purchased on my card.
The statement credit hasn’t yet posted though it will in the coming days as my card benefits tracker has been updated to reflect the $50 credit has been triggered for this quarter:
Typically, credits post within a few days of the benefits tracker updating.
You can still apply now and triple dip this and other card benefits!

The Business Platinum Card® from American Express has a whopping $695 annual fee, but comes loaded with benefits that you can read more about here.
For rates and fees of the AMEX Business Platinum Card, please visit here.
- Those include (registration required):
- $400 annual Dell credit
- $200 annual airline fee credit
- $199 annual CLEAR Plus credit
- $120 annual wireless credit
- $360 annual Indeed credit
- $150 annual Adobe Credit
- $120 Global Entry/PreCheck credit, even on no annual fee additional user cards
- Marriott Gold status
- Hilton Gold status
- 35% points rebate on airfare on airline of your choice in economy or on all airlines in business/first, up to 1,000,000 points back annually.
- Centurion lounge access
- Delta lounge access
- Priority Pass lounge access
- Escape lounge access
- Plaza Premium lounge access
- Lufthansa lounge access
- Car rental status and perks
- Lost item protection
- Travel and baggage insurance
- Return protection
- And more.
And now, cardholders can register here for a $200 annual Hilton credit.
That will be broken up into 4 credits of $50 every quarter, valid at any Hilton.
I would assume that similar to the 4 credits of $50 every quarter on the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card, you should also be able to get the credit on Hilton gift cards sold online here. A $1.95 shipping charge applies.
During your stay, you can have the front desk add the value of your gift cards against your folio balance. Just tell them to run the gift card as a credit card for the full $50 value per gift card.
After enrollment, you will also be automatically enrolled in Hilton for Business perks if not yet enrolled and will get an email explaining those benefits.
Will this replace an existing benefit? That has yet to be determined. Previously, the Dell, Adobe, and Indeed credits were listed as expiring on 12/31/24, but those have been extended to 6/30/25 and can still be further extended. If they are allowed to lapse, I would assume we will still see more benefits added to compensate for their loss.
Either way, you can enroll and start taking advantage of the $50 credit, with the 2024 Q4 $50 credit valid for another couple weeks!
What do you think of this new Hilton credit?

cool!
I believe the Dell credit is ending 12/31
I think I was also reading that is true for indeed and adobe credits
Can you confirm?
Read the post again. 🙂
Online gift card orders have a 1.95 shipping fee.
Are e-gift cards available?
I missed this paragraph of mentioning it
I wish the credit wasn’t quarterly, but still great news!
Please post if you tried a gift card and it works
Already ordered. 🙂
Keep us posted
How many gift cards can you use in 1 reservation?
As many as you want. Just apply them to your bill at the front desk during your stay.
@Dan – ive heard these are being increasingly a PITA to use as several properties either dont know how to use them or they just get rejected at POS, any thoughts on that?
Just tell the agent to process it as a credit card.
when you say annual credits for example $400 for Dell how may times can you use that ith one AF payment?
Does anyone know if United Travel Bank still works for the Airline Credit?
Don’t think so.. I made a purchase on Nov 20th and didn’t receive a credit (yet..)
I did it on December 5th and got credit on the 10th
It still works.
Data point.
Bought 12/01.
Credited 12/07
Can you please explain how to do this?
Go on United travel bank website sign in and by for yourself 2x$100
(Gifting doesn’t get credit)
Hi Dan,
I purchased the gift card and enrolled at AMEX shortly after the purchase, will I still get the credit?
Did the same, please advise if you receivied the credit
Is it requires a hilton # does the reservation need to be on that hilton account?
is there a way to get free shipping?
Should I select Buisness gift card or consumer gift cards?
Can you buy Hilton gift card at a hotel?
I tried that today at a Hampton Inn and they didn’t have them.
I didn’t get email or showing enrolled after enrollment?
We’ve received your enrollment request for the $200 Hilton Statement Credit. You will receive an email or letter once your enrollment is confirmed
no email yet
My email confirmation was immediate.
Called every Hilton in my area and none sell gift cards. Would love to hear if buying online does actually trigger the credit.
Gift cards online are sold by RPG Card Services. Do they code as Hilton or RPG?
Hilton
Can I split the payment between different cards to pay for 1 stay?
Yes
I have 2 business plat in my name. registered both with the same hilton number. hopefully can get $100 off next stay
Only was able to register one card with same hilton#, got some error with second “email address already in use”. Were you able to?
I registered with the same number and received email confirmation for both
Can I buy a gift card at the front desk for this? Does Hilton do it like Marriott?
Can you give more details on the Hilton for Business program? Should I allow my regular Hilton account to convert, or should I open a new account only for this purpose?
It won’t convert it, it just adds perks for stays.
Do you have to actually register and add Biz Domain/ email etc. to use benefits?
I went from full time to PT and let my my domain, hosting etc. go a few years back for my LLC.
Thanks
Also thanks for the advice about simply running the GC as CC, read DP about people having issues.
I wonder how this would work with non-USD transactions.
Since need to be added to Hilton Business program, If I have multiple biz plat cards but only 1 Hilton account, will I get credit for each card?
Yes
On a side note is there any usefull use for the indeed and adobe credit?
Any way to buy gift cards for the 200 hilton resort credits on the aspire card?
Hilton for Business program membership is required to enroll in the benefit.
How can I enroll in this without a business domain?
Read this post again.
@dan – Are you able to turn the dell into $400 of store credit saved on an account as well as the Adobe?? (as you point out with Hilton)
No
do i need a tax id or is an ssn sufficient for amex business cards?
SSN works, same as Chase.
Are there any tricks or good ideas to use adobe and indeed credits?
can i get adobe acrobat pro annual subscription for the 150 dollar adobe credit
“During your stay, you can have the front desk add the value of your gift cards against your folio balance” why cant I just pay with a gift card online when making the reservation is it better to add the value of your gift cards only after you check in?
Should I select Business gift card or Consumer gift cards?
can you buy egift cards so you dont have to pay the 1.95 shipping fee?
Is the Hilton credit for each cardholder? Is there one for 2024 and one for 2025?
I saw this now
across all Cards on the enrolled Card Account.
“While the Hilton Gift Card may be used when paying for a room at checkout, it cannot be used to book or hold a room.”
Does that mean that i can’t book a room with these gift cards? so what does it mean paying at checkout?
You pay for hotel rooms at checkout. Just give your gift cards to apply to your bill.
How do i book a room without paying at time of booking?
As long as it’s not prepaid, the card you enter online isn’t charged. You pay at the hotel.
Does it work if I buy from https://www.buyhiltongiftcards.com/?
Read the post please.
my bad! any way to avoid shipping fee?
plus one anyway to avoid shipping fee
I dont see anywhere in the post about how to purchase the gift cards. where do you? https://www.buyhiltongiftcards.com/?
do i need to register for the adobe credit (like dell) or is it automatically credited if i use the business platinum to purchase?
You need to enroll
Should I select consumer gift card or business gift card where it asks for my tax ID#?
what did you select ?
Does this start right away? First $50 is from now until end of year?
Please read the post. 🙂
On your like to the gift cards there’s consumer and business. Which should I buy to trigger the AMEX credit?
what did you do ?
Got an email my application to Hilton business was denied. I hope I can still get the credit since I already bought the gc.
How do I enroll in Hilton for business without having a website?
You don’t have to, it will do it automatically when you enroll in this benefit.
Does this trick also work on the aspire card?
I’m wondering the same
It only works on Surpass (has been since the card refresh Oct 2023) .
The Aspire only works at listed resorts if you find one (resort) on the list that sells GC on property – this last time I was successful was 2/2020 at the Spa at the WA Orlando.
Upon enrolling, received message “We’ve received your enrollment request for the $200 Hilton Statement Credit. You will receive an email or letter once your enrollment is confirmed” is this standard?
My email came right away
Actually seeing now that mine came immediately too, just expected an instant enrollment confirmation like you get for Dell or airline credit enrollments
Awesomeness!
Applied thru DDF link about 20 minutes ago and instant approval (no pop-up) and got an instant card number (also enrolled in all card benefits). Also have 10% Dell offer that expires tomorrow on the card.
Me and DW applied for Surpass after the October 2023 card refresh (planning to PC so we will have 4 Aspires – to maximize the semi-annual resort credits).
So we will have $600 in Hilton GC to use every year (till we PC).
Thanks – also the the SW Performance Business, that DW applied for 9.13.2024 made $4K payment on the 12th – points are pending for when statement closes on 1.04.2024 then we have six months to hit the 2nd tier for the CP.
You will need to wait until 72 hours after card activation to be able to use offers.
Never had issues with waiting 24HRs.
IMHO think its probably till the account is updated by AMEX i.e. when your Amex card(s) pending charges, offers, credits have posted the following day, I noticed the same with the benefits meter moving.
I also have the time/date stamped emails “You’re enrolled in the Business Platinum Dell Technologies benefit”, etc. from Amex sent 10 minutes after the instant approval.
That said – I doubt that the 10% Dell Amex offer (expires today) will trigger (it might/might not) but its only $25.
I’m honestly more concerned about the $200 Dell credit with only 15 days left in 2024 and the charge doesn’t post till its shipped and shipping since BF/CM this has been far slower than past years.
can i also buy points with this credit?
The website https://www.buyhiltongiftcards.com/ does not work as I’m out of the USA and says website can’t be used in your country. I tried using VPN but still doesn’t work. Is there another work around?
clear cookies and then try vpn
Can I link one Hilton Honors account to all of my Platinum’s, or do I need a separate Hilton account for each card?
You can.
I dont see anywhere in the post about how to purchase the gift cards. where do you? https://www.buyhiltongiftcards.com/?
It’s in the post.
after the 4th reading i found it thanks.
still didn’t get an answer – do we buy for business or personal ? cant see anyone answering that TIA
Is it possible / easy to sell Hilton GCs? Don’t see any for sale on eBay.
Can I just purchase a Hilton gift card with the registered Amex Bus Card or does it also have to be under the card holders Hilton account? Can I purchase a Hilton gift card on my account using my wife’s Amex Busi CC? thanks
Ordered the gift card on Dec 14 in the afternoon and got an email this morning that “You’ve received your Hilton Statement Credit”. Thank you Dan!
To enter the airline lounges listed in the benefits such as Delta or Lufthansa, you must be flying on that airline’s ticket stock? on an airline within the alliance? any airline?
The airline’s flights.
How are the quarters calculated?
I purchased one gift card now, is January 2025 considered as the next quarter? or I need to wait three months from the first purchase date?
January.
How can I get cash back for $50 gift card?
anyway to sell it?

I received a error when trying to order them

Anybody know if the charge goes through immediately, triggering the credit? Or is this like Dell where you’re not charged until the order is fulfilled?
Charged when you order.
got the same pop up. was wondering the same. thanks @dan for the response!
out of stock. weeks behind.

Can they be used for any name or only name on purchase?
Did anybody receive the gift card yet? What kind of envelope does it come in?
I came here to post the same question. I ordered a handful 12/12-16 and haven’t gotten any yet.
Has anyone used the card at the waldorf? did it trigger the credit?
No reason it wouldn’t.
I tried to purchase a $25 Hilton GC from the website link yesterday, using the Hilton Business credit card ($60 Hilton credit/quarter), but the purchase coded as “RBG Hilton Gift Card.”
Normal for pending charge.
It was pending as “RBG Hilton Gift Card” for a few days..now is a final posted charge and did not charge to “Hilton GC”….could it still change in the coming days?
And plan is for you to do this again on January 1?

DD effect.
Purchase initially coded as “RPG Gift Card – pending” then got changed to “Hilton GC.” I got credit for both Amex Business Plat and Hilton Business cards.
Hi Dan, are you allowed to gift the gift card to a friend? Will they be able to use the gift card at checkout if it is not in their name? Thank you!
Yes.
There’s no name on the gift card.
Ok thank you! Chanukah Sameach
Is it too late for Q4, since it will post in 2025?
Hi, I ordered the card last week, but was shipped to the wrong address and ordered a new card, but not coming until Jan. Is there anyway to do spending today (dec 31st) without having the card number, but with the account?
Thanks!
Hi,
I purchased the gift card and right after that I enrolled for the Hilton credit
will I still receive the credit?
Thanks in advance!
Dan deos it again. The sight can’t process any orders…

Thank you! I purchased and received a $50 gift card in December. Can I order another one now, even though the shipping will be delayed? Will I get credited for it, for the first quarter of 2025?
Yes
Well, sort of:

any ideas gift cards are sold out!!
Before the GC option, I use the Hilton credit to eat at Hilton restaurants, if not staying at the hotel. $60 quarterly for the Hilton Business card. I imagine it’ll credit the same for the Amex Business Plat.

Dan,
Hilton is no longer selling gift cards due to a card shortage, is there any way to purchase an e-gift card to use the $50 statement credit?
with the gift cards selling out, wondering if this wonderous trick will be eliminated..
