Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience of how quickly you get the status change to Gold for £10k spend.

I've signed up for this card mainly for the free night certificate, but we are holidaying in the States in August staying mainly in Hilton properties, so it seems worth making sure that we get the status by that time. I've got a few big purchases to make, so can hit the spend, but I don't have much need to rush for the status before that (we will probably only stay in Hiltons for 3-4 nights before that).

I'm assuming that I need to make sure I've done the spend by the end of May, giving a couple of months for the status to update, but should I go for it before that to be safe?
