I believe there is a fast track for LG employees that doesn't require a LG email but a) I believe that would be Gold after 4 stays and b) not sure if I am putting my existing points at risk by 'mis-using' multiple fast track?

Again I wonder if anyone has just plain asked Customer Services for a fast track without a status match?
In past years they would sometimes provide a fast track back to status. See:
Hilton Honors Diamond VIP Status Short Cuts: Fast Track, Instant, Challenges & Comps

I haven't seen any posts that someone has received a similar offer to return to status this year.
