Strategy to obtain US Amex

From Googlefu skills many overseas hiltons do trigger the aspire credit on online prepaid rates. Hilton Tokyo Bay comes up a lot as an example. Apparently international Hiltons are set up differently in the back end? Or something like that.

All Hilton bookings in Japan are processed at the local property.
 
I don't think that triggers the Aspire credit but Surpass. No email delivery though so it needs to be shipped to somewhere in the US. People have been buying $50 + $1.95 shipping quarterly on Surpass.
Agree, I accessed it using Touch VPN set to NYC, site works, but delivery only to US as you say. Didn't try as I use the credit anyway, but a way to guarantee use of the resort credit would be good.

Would like to know - have read similar for other countries (a UK Amex I have had an offer for UK Hiltons, which was convenient as I needed to stay in some at exactly the right time).

Not sure about others though - I have used the resort credit in Fiji and Sri Lanka (I think that's it?), but on postpaid rates. Thankfully Hilton Yala LK accepted Apple Pay, because I left the physical card in Australia 🤦‍♂️
 
I received an unsolicited letter in my US address from Oportun. Did a google and looks like some dodgy person loan provider, anyone have any experience? I'm guessing my US bank sold my details for marketing as they always do.
