I got a mailing from Amex - "Savings at Work" for Corp Amex card holders offering accelerated Silver/Gold status.
4 stays in 90 days gets you Gold, 2 stays gets you silver. You have to phone to register - call 1-800-548-8690, and ask for Promotion code AMEX.
I wasn't asked for any kind of backup details beyond what I provided above, so it seems like anyone could use this.

Tried it but was forced to sign up a new HH membership card.
The fine print says only for new HH members. So just know that.
Within 90 days:
2 stays = Silver
4 stays = Gold

Not my experience - there is a footnote in the mailing saying call with that code if you are an existing member - which I am (Silver), and which I did.
I called, and they entered the code for my existing account; the fast track even showed up on the graphical elite qual display on the website a day or 2 later as a short red bar (above the long green ones).

For this promo, can you stay at any Hilton property (even Hampton Inn) or must it be Hilton?

Any; I have been staying at Hamptons, and the stays have credited against the promo.
By the way, the T & C are very clear about existing accounts:
If you are already an HHonors member, simply call the Hilton Reservations and Customer Care center at 1-800-548-8690 and request Promotion Code AMEX.

Thanks, wish I knew before but the CS person I was dealing with was unwilling. I should have hanged up and called back to get another person.

I've been able to register to this promotion on my existing HHonros account even with the Israeli address on file.

I've also been able to register and now I've become gold (I only had 5 stays needed before gold). So it only made a small difference.
But I live in Belgium, So it seem to be open for all HHmembers.
Just contact the HH support and ask the promotion code AMEX
By the way, the T & C are very clear about existing accounts:
Just for my information, what do you do to get to this (or other fast track) promos on the Hilton Honors web site - although I could access the link, I could not access the part of the web site (with the promo) directly.
By the way, the T & C are very clear about existing accounts:
The link states that the "Savings for work" promotion is only for stays at Hilton and Doubletree hotels.
Normally, HHonors fast track promos allow one to stay at any Hilton family of hotels. Does this HHonors fast track promo allow for stays at all Hilton family of hotels, or only at the Hilton and Doubletree chains?
Therefore, is the Savings for work promo overlapping, but different from, the HHonors fast tract promo?

Do you need to use an AMEX card at checkout? That would be a nonstarter for me.

How long would this Gold last for? Thru April 2008, or 2009?
Thanks!

I called just now to get the code added to my account, but was told by the CSR that the AMEX code is for employees of American Express. Didn't sound like she knew too much about what she was talking about. I just played dumb. She gave me "a one time exception" and added the code to my account. :)

The fast track to gold worked for me with 4 stays including one reward stay with Embassy Suites, one stay at the Las Vegas Hilton booked through LVHilton.com and one stay in Hilton Kauai using the Entertainment rate :) .
