Consumer Narrative
I applied for an American Express Hilton Honors Surpass card about XXXX months ago with the welcome offer of getting XXXX points after spending XXXX dollars within the first three months. But I realized that I still do not have the welcome offer points after I spent more than XXXX dollars within the first three months so I chatted with their customer services on XX/XX/2021, through AE mobile app. They declared that my welcome offer was denied due to a previous relationship with XXXX and asked me to call XXXX to review my profile. But I have never applied for a XXXX XXXX credit card and I did not understand it. And I called customer services on the same day, they promised to open an investigation for me regarding the welcome offer and email me the result within 10 days. Unfortunately, I did not get an email after more than 10 days. So I called them and they did not give me any specific reason why I was rejected since I do not have any XXXX XXXX card, the reason they claimed why I was rejected the first time. They just kept saying AE has the right to reject the welcome offer without notifying me. I would consider this as a false welcome offer promotion for our customers.
