Not quite status matched as I'm Diamond with HHonors, but they made me Gold based on my 50 Hilton nights last year.
I just emailed them in December and they wanted a screenshot of my HHonors account.
Who'd you email?
Honestly, this is still a bit of a stretch for me, if I can't get a status match...Gold at Hilton is only 16 stays. I'm on the fence. Just can't see giving up Diamond at Hilton to become Silver at Marriott for most of this year (though I'm going to start switching stays to Marriott anyway due to the loss of WN as an HH redemption partner.)
