Bottom Line
The AMEX Hilton cards have WAY better offers than before. So if you’ve been waiting to apply, your patience has paid off.
Remember, AMEX only allows you to earn a welcome bonus on each card once per LIFETIME. So for example, if you’ve had the AMEX Hilton Ascend before, you won’t earn a bonus by opening it again.
However, because these cards are considered different “products”, you ARE eligible for the welcome bonuses on all the other cards. So long as you haven’t had them before.
