No, that is not correct, although certain HH guest relations personnel may have told you that. My wife and I both have a Gold thru 4/2003 as a result of signing up for the promo. Moreover, if that were truly the way that the promo would work, it would discriminate against current Golds and that is probably the surest way to alienate your current customers.

Contact HHonors and advise that you have still not received your HHonors card with the amended expiration date. Ask them to expedite it, like I did, as I would be staying at a Hilton soon, and you want the front desk personnel know how good a patron you are that your status expires as of 4/2003.

Good Luck! Let me know how things shake out!
