How to Book Hotel with Citi Premier Credit Card $100 Hotel Credit & Citi ThankYou Points

Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well.  3 weeks ago, my wife and I decided to book a last minute trip to Europe this summer with stops in Prague (PRG), Copenhagen (CPH), and Amsterdam (AMS).  When I was researching hotels in Prague, I heard many good things about Old Town Prague and wanted to stay there. There were several chain and independent hotels to choose from, so I checked TripAdvisor to see which hotels were highly rated. That is how I stumbled onto the Century Old Town Prague – MGallery Hotel Collection.  It has great reviews, is in a great location, comes with free breakfast and wifi, and the price was right.

How to Fix a Rejected Hilton Honors Gold Elite Status Enrollment (AMEX Platinum Card Benefit)

Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I have a strange edge case that I wanted to share, in case anyone else is in this situation.  Long story short, I downgraded my American Express Hilton Honors Aspire Credit Card to the no annual fee American Express Hilton Honors Credit Card in May 2022 but my Hilton Diamond Elite Status remained for almost a year.  A few weeks after my Hilton elite status dropped to Hilton Silver Elite Status, I went to my American Express Business Platinum Card and navigated to the Hilton Honors Gold Status Enrollment benefit.

I entered my Hilton Honors number and submitted the request.  A few weeks later (I forgot to check after submitting the request), I went back to the benefit and saw that it said “Enrollment Rejected.”
