I was approved via the 100k offer on 5/10 and registered for elite status with Hilton and SPG on the same day. I received my SPG Gold confirmation this morning...and then received an email welcoming me to Hilton Diamond status. I know the difference bet Gold and Diamond is...minor, but is this a mistake or a common thing to get Diamond instead of Gold?

It is better. But the Amex Plat comes with Gold normally. Just a strange random upgrade

Does your hilton account actually show diamond status?

If you have a $3000 minimum spend, and you spend $3000 on the card, and then get a $200 airline credit, is that ok, or do you need to spend another $200? Thanks.

Duno if it's very useful to anyone but SEA-JFK this weekend has a few flights with $79 Ec+ upgrades available at a reasonable ticket price ;)

Also, are there any reports of being able to get GE and Precheck credit on 1 plat? Would be nice for helping to meet min spend but not a big deal.
GE comes with pre-Check
Looking for an online link for the American Express Platinum card with a 100K point signup bonus.  They had one recently but it expired in like a day when it got too popular  Apparently, there is always some link available to someone at some point.  I will gladly PayPal someone 20 bucks for a successful link - whether or not I get approved.
Modify message

the link that was around is dead due to the fact that it was spread i doubt someone will give it out if they have it

But the $200 airline credit is included, meaning it's considered a payment and not a refund, correct?
u dont get the base spend points but it triggers the bonus

When I say I threw it out, I meant someone by me threw it out. Guess they thought I couldnt put it to good use.
