Please read App-O-Rama Updates: Day 1 before reading this post.
Before my App-O-Rama, I had 4 American Express credit cards: Delta Gold, Hilton HHonors, SPG Personal, and Blue Cash Preferred.
American Express has a cool feature where you can upgrade your Hilton HHonors Credit Card to the Hilton HHonors Surpass Credit Card online with no new credit inquiry. From what I have read online, you need to have your Hilton HHonors Credit Card for at least 11 months before you can upgrade to the Hilton HHonors Surpass Credit Card. Here the link to the upgrade form.
All you do is log into your American Express account or enter your Hilton HHonors Credit Card number. There is even a 50,000 Hilton HHonors sign up bonus after spending $3,000 in 3 months.
