Hilton Is Renewing Status for All Until 2022
Meg Butler March 25, 2020
Good news Honors members. Hilton has announced that it will be extending status for three years via an email sent out to honors members. From Hilton:
On behalf of the entire Hilton team, we hope this message finds you in good health. As the world adapts to these unusual circumstances, I wanted to share what we are doing to extend your Hilton Honors benefits and to support our communities during this turbulent time.
Your Hilton Honors Status and Points
We consider it our privilege to have you as a Hilton Honors member and we want to show our appreciation by extending your benefits:
- 2019 Status Extension. All members whose 2019 status was scheduled to be downgraded on March 31, 2020—whether it’s Diamond, Gold or Silver—will automatically receive an extension through March 31, 2021.
- 2020 Status Extension. We are extending your 2020 member status through March 31, 2022. This means you will continue to enjoy all the Diamond, Gold or Silver benefits you have access to today for the next 24 months.
- Points Extension. We will pause the expiration of all Points scheduled to expire between now and December 31, 2020.
- Weekend Night Rewards Earned on Eligible Hilton Credit Cards. We have extended the expiration date of all unexpired Weekend Night Rewards as of March 11, 2020, and all new ones issued until August 30, 2020, through the end of next summer (August 31, 2021).
Marriott would be wise to reconsider and follow suit.
But not for those of us who were in the middle of a status match challenge. And since these challenges are a one-time deal, we’re effectively screwed. Confirmed via DM that as of yesterday, no love for us.
+1 alangore -- I'll be moving my future stays over to Hilton. I've had enough with being Bonvoyed by Marriott.
I'm guessing that given today's latest Bonvoying, Hilton will be soon pulling in a bunch of freshly steaming former Marriott customers.
I received this letter from Hilton Honors yesterday. I think the move is to encourage card holders who might be on the fence to keep their HH AMEX with the renewal rate jumping $100 this year, but still a class move!
