Yes, worked exactly as described for me. Here's my experience:
My HHonors status changed from Blue to Gold very quickly after signing up, and I received the expected Gold benefits at Hilton properties from my next stay.
I've completed the 3 stays as required by this promotion, and have confirmed that I have Gold status until March 2017 during a phonecall to Hilton HHonors (about an unrelated matter).
However, I've noticed that the the HHonors website doesn't show this - it is still calculating my expected 2016 tier based on HHonors normal rules.
