We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Remember, American Express requires the Social Security Number of any authorized user you add.  So you will NOT be able to add your pet iguana. 😉

    Be Careful When Adding Authorized Users

    Adding an additional cardholder to your account isn’t without risk.  You’ll be fully responsible for any charges they make, so be sure to only add folks you completely trust.

    That said, your authorized user could potentially get a credit score boost if your credit is good.  Plus, being an authorized user doesn’t prevent you from earning the card’s sign-up bonus in the future.

    Sorry Folks, AMEX Requires an Authorized User’s Social Security Number, so You Will NOT Be Able to Add Your Pet Iguana to Take Advantage of This Deal

    Just remember to carefully consider whether your authorized users will apply for Chase cards in the future.  Especially if they’re new to miles and points!

    Because authorized user accounts WILL count toward Chase’s “5/24 rule.”  So if the authorized user has opened ~5 or more credit cards (from any bank) in the past 24 months (excluding certain business cards), they’re unlikely to get approved for most Chase cards.

    Want More Hilton Points?

    There are lots of ways to earn Hilton points.  Including the no-annual-fee AMEX Hilton, or the AMEX Hilton Surpass card.

    Or, you can transfer other miles & points to Hilton.  AMEX Membership Rewards points, Virgin Atlantic miles, and Hawaiian Airlines miles transfer to Hilton at a ratio of 2:3.

    Bottom Line

    Check your email or log-in through this link to see if you’ve been targeted to earn a bonus for adding authorized users to your American Express Hilton cards!

    Depending on which AMEX Hilton card you have, you could earn up to 40,000 bonus Hilton points after your additional cardholders meet a minimum spending requirement.

    To qualify, you must add any authorized users by September 30, 2017.
