I am Preferred on US Airways and got an email offering Gold status at Hilton if I enroll in HHonors and stay once before December.

I was planning to book a room with an immediate family member's points, and I see that I can book for a discounted number of points plus a modest cash payment.

Is there a way that I can book the room with points from the family member's account + the cash payment AND have the stay qualify me for HHonors Gold status through the promotion? Since I am paying some cash for the stay, does that count?

Thanks.
