If someone never stays at a Hilton he/she does not need any Hilton Card, status, offer or phone number. I would simply not bother about Hilton then. 1 night for gold = ridiculous.
Yes, Amex and Hilton are close partners and I recently had three fine stays with them. I would have chosen different hotels if Amex had not given the benefit of HHonors Gold status.
