Fast track to Gold and Diner's? NO.
Just completed fast track to gold conquest bonus and inquired about the Diner's DCDT 50k bonus. Was told I could not do both. I remember statements to the contrary on this board. Help?

I enrolled for both, got my first 50K, then enrolled for the DCDT promo. I had my first stay on that one and it posted along with the first 5K promo detailed as DCDT.

I successfully completed the BT2YM promo and am in the middle of my first stay on the DCDT promo. I'll keep you posted.
But I second TolarianWind's statement of calling again. It will all depend on the CS rep with whom you speak.

Completing the Fast Track to Gold Question
All,
I signed up for the Fast Track to Gold Promotion and have completed my 4 stays. My account now has over 70,000 points.
My question is how long does it take for the Gold VIP to be updated on the web site?
BTW, I also finished my AA Gold Challenge on the same trip. I'm now drowning in miles and points
.

Actually, you should have been changed to Gold when you were registered for the promotion, if treatment reported by others (and experienced by a friend of mine) is a guide.
Go to the HHonors page and access your account information. After you enter your account number and PIN, and click on "Access my HHonors Account", you should get a screen that starts out something like:
YOUR NAME
HHonors Gold VIP# 000000000
(Note the "GOLD VIP" in front of your number.)
If it's not there, send them an e-mail or call the CSR.

Counsellor and All,
Do you know how fast is the status update on the website? I signed up for the promotion a week ago and the online status still shows 'blue'. I have completed a stay since then but it was in one of those Park Place properties in Las Vegas so they could not tell me my status (go figure)...
I don't mind calling Hhonors in the US again but I wondered if anyone had this info. Thanks.

The update to the website should take no more than two minutes. I would call back HHonors, as my friend had this same problem and had to call a second time (in which a refresh of the screen before hanging up showed gold).

I did regitered.
Then I looked at my profile: no change of color.
As I am color blind, I did not take care about that, and made my first, seocnd... and got my 57 000 miles or something similar.
By the way, 3 weeks after, no mile.
By the way, I am still... colorblind, but was confirmed by somebody else that it was not writtten GOLD.
So, I took my pen (my e-pen) and wrote an e-message.
I did not get an e-answer.
Did they not change something intheir conquest ?
Did that happen to others ?

I had the same problem. I completed the four stays, received the 50,000 miles, but got no gold. I called the HHonors 800 number and the pleasant representative took only a couple of minutes and changed my status to Gold while I waited. Great experience. Now I'm working on getting my 16 stays to qualify for next year. I just got upgraded on my last stay on Wednesday. Hilton is getting my business over Marriott.

Now my first 5000 points are credited (that was fast!) so I guess I am correctly enrolled to that promotion. I guess I'll need to make another phone call to the customer service in the US for updating my status. My understanding is correct that the status changes to gold upon signing up, not after completing the four stays, right?
I have another stay waiting by the end of this month and I'm going to try to get the necessary stays for earning my status next year. I must admit I hadn't considered Hilton as my first choice of hotels but this promotion is very nice and makes me want to stay at their properties.

Foolish and Runner --
You should remember one thing, though. Although you seem to have gotten or are getting your Conquest points, you should have been HHonors Gold during those stays. Therefore, you should have been ALSO getting the 25% Gold bonus for the $ you paid for each of those stays. As you were not so indicated as a Gold during those stays, you may NOT have gotten that bonus that you were entitled to. Therefore, check your accounts and see if the 25% bounus is listed -- Thankfully, this is one bonus that IS LISTED on the website. If not, then call HHonors to fix this!!!!!
