Just recently purchased Hilton Points using the card and charged USD on it, hoping to earn points and fulfilling the forex spend for welcome offer.

Just got notified that <These are classed as a “payment in relation to financial products” which, as per our Terms and Conditions, are not eligible for earning Hilton Honors Points via your Personal Hilton Honors Debit Card. Any transactions made with these types of merchants after October 9th 2024 will not be eligible for earning Points.>

I was completely unaware of this and I wonder if there is any way around this? Thanks!

I think they changed things exactly after a few of us bought via the double points offer that came through on the 9th of October. I was lucky to get points following my purchase on that day.

In the US, for less ($150), Hilton Surpass gets you Free Night Credit, $200 free hotel credit, 12x on Hilton stays, 6x on groceries, gas and dining etc in addition to all the perks/protections of a credit card.

Are we that undeserving to be treated this differently in the UK?

Do you seriously not understand the difference between the credit/debit card markets in the US and the UK and why the incentives card providers can offer bear no resemblance??
