Get £100 off £500 of Hilton USA hotel spending with an American Express cashback offer

A new American Express offer has been launched with Hilton. You may find this in the ‘Offers’ section of one, all or none of your cards on the online statement page. I have it on my BA Amex but not my Platinum card.
If you have it, this is the deal:
Receive £100 statement credit when spending £500 at Hilton properties in the US
Valid until 31st October
Only valid when you pay at the hotel (“excludes online payments”)
There is NO list of participating hotels. This is a problem. Historically, Hilton offers have applied across all brands – Waldorf Astoria, Hampton, DoubleTree etc.
It doesn’t say that here. All references to hotels just say ‘Hilton’ or ‘Hilton properties’ or ‘participating Hilton hotels’ – not ‘Hilton family’, ‘Hilton owned’, ‘Hilton group’ etc. It is perfectly possible that you won’t get it at a DoubleTree or, say, the highly acclaimed Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills pictured below.
Remember that you will be hit by a 3% foreign exchange fee when paying on an American Express card in the US. This reduces the value of the cashback if you would otherwise have paid on a 0% FX fees card.
