Promo: Get a jumpstart on your 2016 elite status
It looks like they're doing this one again. Just got the email that after signing up, every stay from now until the end of the year will count towards 2016 status.
SIGN UP FOR THIS EXCLUSIVE OFFER AND THIS YEAR'S STAYS CAN COUNT TOWARD YOUR FUTURE TIER STATUS.
Congratulations, you've already achieved your tier status for 2015! Now, when you sign up for the Status Jumpstart offer, you can start achieving your 2016 status* with stays completed now through December 31, 2014. That means you'll have a head start on earning your 2016 status. Sign up today and don't miss the chance to get ahead.
*Standard 2016 tier status qualification is based on your stay activity between January 1 through December 31, 2015. After signing up for this offer, all future stays through the end of 2014, in addition to your 2015 stays, will count towards your 2016 status.

Apparently it is. Here's the fine print in the email:
It's amusing that when I click the link and try to register it gives me an error stating "You are not able to register for this promotion online. Please call the Hilton Reservations and Customer Care nearest you." 
This exclusive offer is open only to the HHonors member who received the email from Hilton HHonors™ announcing this promotion. Offer valid for eligible stays completed now through December 31, 2014 (“Promotion Period”). HHonors members must first register for the offer prior to the check-out of the first stay within the Promotion Period. “You can start achieving your 2016 status” means each completed stay will count towards your total stays in both the remainder of 2014 and 2015. This offer applies only to stays and will not count towards the HHonors member's Base Points or nights in 2015. A "stay" is defined as the total number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of whether the guest checks out and checks back in again. If an elite status upgrade is achieved or elite status is maintained through this offer, the status will be valid until March 31, 2017. An elite status upgrade means that the HHonors member qualifies to earn a higher elite status within a calendar year for the subsequent year. Maintaining elite status means that the HHonors Member qualifies to preserve that elite status within a calendar year for the subsequent year. Members must re-qualify for elite status each year.

I can't even get them to properly credit my 2014 stays for 2015 status. N wonder I never get promos like this.

I'd love to be in on this. I've already hit Diamond and if I got this in place this week I'd have 20 or so nights in the bag to start off next year.

Got 35 Hilton stays this year. Over 20 Hilton nights in September, most of them in hotels opting out of the triple-miles promotion.
Looks like this is not good enough to recieve a rollover stays e-mail.
So I guess I'll first complete my IHG promotion now, which requires just three well-chosen nights to get two free night certificates ANYwhere.
Hilton: have a great X-mas, see yah next year!

Am already at 34 stays this year with at least another 5-10 stays before the end of the year.

Somebody post the link please? I never get any marketing emails from Hilton. So how do I know that I am *NOT* targeted?
I might as well be, but just did not receive the email...

Last year, those who were not targeted, but managed to sign up, did not get the stay credit after all.

If you happen to be one of the group on here that never gets any emails from Hilton, the only way to know if you're targeted is to call/email them. I did that last year and was indeed targeted, but never got the email. So thanks to OP for giving us this heads-up that there is another of these promos.
It really is time for Hilton to fix their email issues. This issue was brought up with the HHonors rep quite some time ago but nothing ever came of it.
