Hilton already extended the status until 2022 as per the policy below:
- 2019 Status Extension. All members whose 2019 status was scheduled to be downgraded on March 31, 2020—whether it’s Diamond, Gold or Silver—will automatically receive an extension through March 31, 2021.
- 2020 Status Extension. We are extending your 2020 member status through March 31, 2022. This means you will continue to enjoy all the Diamond, Gold or Silver benefits you have access to today for the next 24 months.
- Points Extension. We will pause the expiration of all Points scheduled to expire between now and December 31, 2020.
- Weekend Night Rewards Earned on Eligible Hilton Credit Cards. We have extended the expiration date of all unexpired Weekend Night Rewards as of March 11, 2020, and all new ones issued until August 30, 2020, through the end of next summer (August 31, 2021).
Accor Hotels have credited 50% of the status points and 50% of the nights to the member's accounts needed to keep the status.
Best Western will keep the status of their Elite members until January 31st 2022.
For AF/KLM, I had someone on the ULTI line who told me at the moment they don't know what will be proposed. I mentioned to him that other airlines were extending the status of their FF members. He couldn't give me an answer as he didn't have one at this time.
