American Express Platinum and Business Platinum cards are increasing their hotel partnership portfolios by now offering Hilton Honors Gold status to card holders. Hilton becomes the second hotel company to offer complimentary elite status to American Express Platinum Card Holders after Starwood Preferred Guest. The new partnership can be registered for immediately online and if you already have Hilton Honors Gold Status or higher, you can maintain at least Gold Status without meeting any stay requirements.
The complimentary Gold status is probably among the best hotel benefit now offered with the American Express Platinum Card as it waves the 20 stays or 40 night minimum and you get a slew of benefits, even more than you get at SPG hotels. As a Hilton HHonors Elite you will earn HHonor points faster, enjoy free room upgrades, complimentary breakfast at most hotels and more.
