Our Verdict
Basically an extra 1x point per $1 spent if you spend exactly $7,500. Not as good as the Hilton offer which is an extra 2x points. This will also stack with any category bonuses on individual cards which could make it a good deal for some people. Personally don’t think it makes sense to risk a clawback with American Express if doing manufactured spend but everybody has a different risk tolerance.
