When he followed up with the 2nd match attempt, Hilton CS said the following " I have reviewed your account and found that you have already participated in our current status match offer.

So in his case at least, Hilton is fairly strict about one status match from 2016 to now.



Thank you for the heads up. My Coworker just inquired about this. Hilton CS said they can extend the 10stay/18day Diamond challenge as an onetime offer but his account would only get upgraded to Diamond after successfully completing the challenge.

Since he doesn't get Diamond status during the challenge period (unlike the 90 day status match where temporary 90day Diamond would be granted immediately) and it might be iffy meeting all 10 stays in 90 days, my coworker decided to grit his teeth through the Marriott/SPG merger integration trouble and assess later if he really wants to jump ship to Hilton.
