FYI Hilton already has a lifetime gold program. HOWEVER, it is not something you can earn or sign up for. It is very strict invite only and would be referred from a hotel gm. It is gold but carries diamond benefits like 48 hour guarantee. So if you want a guaranteed lifetime status, you are probably a bigwig or celebrity who has been staying many years at the same property..or...you'll have to just have to wait and see if you qualify for lifetime diamond
