Hi Just reading this to get some pointers. I am doing the US credit cards but I find some ask for a US ID in order to process the application. Do you have any workaround for this?
Happy new year Ricky,
You are my inspiration to travel the world using miles and successfully completed 3 MRTW and even ventured into US market.
Question, i already have Hilton Honors card and wondering whether i will be getting WB for having Hilton Aspire card as well as they seems to be both same family products?
Yes, you will get the bonus on every individual Hilton credit card (regular no-fee card, Surpass, Aspire, and Business) as long as you haven’t held that card before, and you don’t get hit with the dreaded pop-up.
Nice summary Ricky, we have our work cut out for 2020.
I have a question regarding hotel strategy: it’s clear to me that my focus will be first to secure Marriott Platinum. After that it gets fuzzy. Should I go after Titanium (my preference?) as it would give me more points per stay (I travel for business regularly), a free 40K night certificate and mainly get me ahead of Platinum for upgrades? Or go after Hilton, at the risk of splitting the vote and not having a significant status with either brands. Any thoughts on that?
Great question. What I would do is get the Amex US Hilton Aspire for instant Hilton Diamond status. Then you don’t need to worry about achieving status with Hilton, you already have it (basically) forever. You can choose Marriott hotels when they make sense and work towards Titanium, or you can choose Hilton hotels when they make sense and be treated very nicely during your stay.
