American Express and Hilton Hotels have brought back their generous ‘£50 cashback for spending £250’ promotion.
It is restricted to the first 15,000 American Express cardholders to register their card via this website. This offer should work with any UK Amex card, whether issued by MBNA, Lloyds or directly from Amex.
The rules are relatively simple:
Valid for stays until 30th September
Minimum spend of £250 in one transaction
Valid at Hilton, Waldorf-Astoria and Doubletree properties (except Doubletree Liverpool)
NOT valid at Hampton properties
Valid only at UK hotels
The site states that you need to book directly at hilton.co.uk. For advanced purchase stays this is correct. However, if you are booking a ‘pay at check-out’ rate then I doubt it makes the slightest difference whether you book via the Hilton website or Hotels.com etc. Amex will pay the bonus regardless as long as it sees the relevant Hilton reference on your card statement.
This offer is hugely convenient for me because we will be spending £500 at a UK Hilton property this weekend. I will be splitting that bill across two cards.
