Amex platinum with 150k welcome vs Hilton aspire with 200k welcome? Plat is 695+175 and aspire is 450+0 for second card. The fine hotels and resorts is sort of a difference for the platinum. Is it worth it?

They’re pretty different cards tbh. What are you trying to get out of them?

Can you refer me the Hilton Aspire card? Is 200k offer still available?

Not interested in looking fancy. More like just wanting to get a screaming deal

Amex plat has a lot of stuff I don’t need

Neither card has anything to do with looking fancy. It depends what kind of spending you’re going to put on the card, what you want to redeem points for, how often you want to stay at hiltons, etc

Yeah I like to stay at hiltons. I was gonna get the Hilton card until I saw the 150k bonus on plat then I thought twice

I had plat a while ago and fine hotels was awesome looking at the offers now they are kind of meh

Keep in mind if you had a plat already Amex is one bonus per lifetime per card. If you had the Mercedes plat or something that considered a different product, but you likely won’t get the 150k if you’ve already gotten a plat bonus in the past.

Hilton Aspire is an easy keeper card with the given credits. If you're won't get positive expected value from the Amex Platinum, don't bother. I say that as being in a couple where we each have one Amex Platinum and don't plan to give them up. Google Ask Sebby Amex Platinum calculator to run through all the benefits and assign a value to each of them to confirm if the card will yield more value for you than the annual fee.

Im not sure if I will get the bonus since I had a plat before. I will check right now!

You could try for the Schwab/Morgan Stanley Platinum or the standard business platinum card, if you want another platinum card and bonus.

Each is a different product and you can earn a bonus on each. They used to have an Ameriprise waived annual fee platinum card too..those were the good days.

Amex Plat Morgan Stanley gives you one free plat AU.

If your AU doesn't need FHR or lounge access, up to 99 Gold AU on Plat is free

Also interested in the hilton aspire. Anyone have a referral link for the 200k hilton points?
