Was looking to help a fellow Ozb user on classifieds and noticed this url seems to still be active for the Australian site. I personally don't have an amex to test this great if someone who does confirm this works. confirmed by umadbrahhhh that is still works.

    good first step, however real perks start form gold = free breakfast and diamond = free lounge access

      Yeah diamond is great. Just became diamond in July last year.

      Great room upgrades too

      • cerealsmok3r on 03/01/2025 - 17:14

        Was it a bit of a grind to get there or was it more seamless with your lifestyle than you would imagine?

        Was very easy once I got my Centurion ;)

    • Mahogany Granger on 03/01/2025 - 16:28

      Free breakfast for just the card holder? Or family too

      • nvnrj on 03/01/2025 - 17:30

        Breakfast was free for the whole family in Hilton Conrad Bali - with Amex card.

      • stefanko on 03/01/2025 - 20:55

        breakfast (and other benefits) are normally per room (usually 2 people)

    • Onemoredeal on 03/01/2025 - 17:19

      Breakfast is never free in America, they enforce a tip. I travelled extensively through the US on The free Honours Gold from Virgin status and it was a complete waste of space.

      • HeXa on 03/01/2025 - 19:55

        Is great in Asia and Europe

      • Applause on 05/01/2025 - 01:09

        Do you know what hotel memberships are better ones in the US?

  • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 03/01/2025 - 13:52

    It’s been around for years, it is a standard benefit of those cards.

    • starburstyellow on 03/01/2025 - 14:10

      I did try look for it prior to posting, couldn't find Long running deal on it.

      • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 03/01/2025 - 14:11

        That’s because people don’t usually post every single benefit a credit card gives you in seperate deal posts.

        It is mentioned here:

        elite status with major hotel loyalty programs including Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors and others

        • starburstyellow on 03/01/2025 - 14:14

          That deal implies that its only for the AmEx Platinum Charge though? This was more to inform that it applies to the remaining Amex line-up.

          • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 03/01/2025 - 14:20
            -4

            @starburstyellow: Sure, but the information is readily available to cardholders already on the Amex site. This post essentially sets a precedent that every single individual benefit can be posted as a seperate deal, such as:

            • a $450 Travel Credit each year
            • complimentary Accor Plus membership valued at $395 p.a.
            • up to $400 back each calendar year until 31 Dec 2024 when you dine at a curated collection of over 1,400 restaurants
            • up to $84 cashback on Amazon Prime membership
            • elite status with major hotel loyalty programs including Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors and others
            • access to the American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts program, which provides complimentary benefits at over 1,300 five-star properties worldwide valued at an average of $800 for a two-night stay
            • earn 2.25 Membership Rewards points per $1 spent on everyday purchases
            • transfer points to 10 airline partners, including both Qantas and Virgin Australia
            • access to over 1,400 airport lounges in more than 140 countries, including Virgin Australia lounges, American Express lounges, Priority Pass, Plaza Premium and more
              top-notch travel insurance cover
            • The Australian and Wall Street Journal digital subscriptions
            • smartphone screen insurance, with up to $500 available twice a year for screen repairs (with a 10% excess)
            • up to 4 free Additional Cards for family members - they can enjoy some the card benefits in their own right, like elite hotel status, travel insurance, and one Priority Pass membership.

              @WoodYouLikeSomeCash: I understand what you're saying. I was just trying to help anyone who was uninformed as I assumed that some of the perks were only for the Platinum Charge cards, not the others.

          • gromit on 03/01/2025 - 15:48

            @starburstyellow: It applies to a lot of card deals and many employee benefit programs, I got it from work. It is also pretty crap as silver is definitely not worth doing anything extra for.

    Thanks OP. Didn't realise it was applicable to my Explorer card. Tested and request to upgrade to Silver status successfully submitted.

    • luminair on 04/01/2025 - 18:29

      what did you put in the "Existing membership number" field? It's asking for a 10 digit number.

      edit - nevermind, it's asking for a Hilton's membership number I see

  • tunzafun001 on 03/01/2025 - 15:03

    There was a time when the Platinum Reserve had no annual fee..but I went with the Platinum edge (Face palm).

    • gotcha on 07/01/2025 - 19:20

      that sucks, the best part of Reserve is the $400 travel credit on top of $450 of Plat

  • morediscount on 03/01/2025 - 15:12

    Its high time..we got an Australian Express

    Works, but pro tip - workplaces (mine does at least) will give you free trial status for gold or potentially higher. You can then contact Hilton / Accor / Marriott to merge the accounts and you will get that status extended for a year instead of a month or so. I have Accor plus gold until the end of the year as well as Hilton via this method.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2025 - 15:25

      Actually, it seems that I got Hilton honours gold status straight away, but that was because I got it via my platinum card, not one of the cards listed here. My method still applies to Accor plus though - I have gold for a year instead of silver because I merged a workplace gold 3 month trial account with my yearly complimentary Accor plus silver from Amex.

    • devpress on 03/01/2025 - 15:48

      How did your workplace provide this?

      • gromit on 03/01/2025 - 15:51
        +1

        it is a common one for many workplaces, Hilton partner with a lot of the bigger enterprises, basically they just want to encourage the company to book more with them by throwing a few freebies to staff.

        Meanwhile my company limits to $200/night so i believe Hilton can’t get in touch 🤣

  • andytheturtle on 03/01/2025 - 16:07

    Suggest OP updates the content to include benefits that actually differ from the standard free membership level. It amazes me how places continue to advertise free wifi as a benefit.

  • ginger-gin on 03/01/2025 - 18:57

    From these cards listed above, which one is recommended folks? On Platinum Edge now and looking to upgrade or churn but couldn’t find any good deal this early period

    • sam0041 on 10/01/2025 - 23:11

      If you travel much, platinum is the best option. It is expensive (1450 annual fee) but the perks are really good and would be worth it over time
      But if you just travel once or twice a year, explorer would be good enough. The annual fee is $395 which you will get back in the form of travel credits.

      Hope this helps!

      It’s the hilton membership number which you will get after creating hilton honors account.

      • Dyl on 07/01/2025 - 08:32

        Link to Qatar Airways too for Qatar gold (if it's still running?)

        • nightelves on 07/01/2025 - 09:19

          Fast track Accor Platinum to Qatar Gold.

          • Dyl on 08/01/2025 - 21:23

            @nightelves: Yeah that's the one

            I used it for Qatar Platinum, first time in first class lounge. Has been good fun.

            It gives a year from when you fly too (to activate it); doesn't expire when your Accor does.

            • nightelves on 08/01/2025 - 21:26

              @Dyl: Wow how did you get Accor Diamond?! Was it hard?

              • Dyl on 08/01/2025 - 21:41

                @nightelves: Weird housing situation, it added up pretty quickly. It's something like $15,000 you have to spend.

                • nightelves on 09/01/2025 - 09:12

                  @Dyl: Yeah way too expensive for me.

                  • Dyl on 09/01/2025 - 09:59

                    @nightelves: For me too, but circumstances happened lol

                    It was mainly $100/night cheap hotels, just a lot of them

    • sam0041 on 10/01/2025 - 23:14

      • Dyl on 10/01/2025 - 23:54
        +1

        https://statusmatcher.com/ has everything you need to know.

        Usually they'll offer a challenge these days (stay x nights in x days) to match you status to another loyalty program.

        • sam0041 on 11/01/2025 - 01:54

          Thankyou

          • Dyl on 11/01/2025 - 05:14

            @sam0041: The current best offer is Qatar status matching Accor via an easy challenge, you link your Qatar account and get one status below Accor as Qatar (ie Accor Platinum = Qatar gold) when you next fly Qatar. It's unique as it's Hotel > Flights status

            Most other status challenges suck. Some airlines do status matches without challenges but rarely.

            Singapore offered me a status match for my Qatar on the basis of having a flight with them within the next 90 days, they're the easiest / best challenges as it's pretty straight forward - just show you're going to use it.
