Adam, You are correct about new AX members being granted silver status. I have an AX Hilton Optima card and a regular AX corporate card. My feeble complaint is that new users get the silver right away and achieve gold status after a minimal number of stays in this offer. I tossed the offer but I tend to recall after that may be as little as two-four stays. Since I stayed many more times that last year, I guess I feel my loyality is not being appreciated.
