Got one today as well and am no longer a HH member. Bonus of 50K points after 4 stays by 5/15/10. I lost over 200K HH points when my account expired and when I asked for them back they said no. Worth a call again.

I'm having a fantasy that I will get one from AA and CO.

Get 50K miles each and then combine them...

It's 50K HH points, which is a far cry from 50K miles. 50K HH points is one night in a major city hotel.

50K HH points can be converted into approximately 7.5K AAdvantage miles.

Miss spoke. 50K points.

Still, 100K= 2 nights.

Hey, good news. I have been HH Gold for two years. This year, I was short or requalifying by 3 nights. Was looking for ways to become HH Gold again, as I have many trips with Hilton stays in the next 5 months. This year, I became ExPlat (lite) for the first time, so will be checking my mail box for the new card and promo from HH.

Are you sure this was "courtesy" of AA or was it courtesy of Hilton, due to AA status?

I'm a former 7 year diamond who left Hh completely in 2006 (except to burn Hh points) and dropped to Gold which expires this March

With the recent devaluation of Hh points; I burned another 600K for 2010 in award stays. I'd love to get the gold just so that I'll have the benefits for my award stays this year and maybe a bit in 2011; I still have over 200K left to burn

I didn't get anything from Hh though as an AA Exp

I think I'll wait till July to call for the challenge for 4 stays for Gold (and hopefully 50K points too ) so that the gold will last me until 3/12 unless I get something from Hh via AA before that

So Hilton points aren't worth much. I think I will just keep staying at Marriott...I have lifetime Platinum there and never need to worry about requalifying.

I got the offer in the mail yesterday and I have no status with AA. Used to be Platinum, then dropped to Gold but haven't had anything since Gold expired last Feb. My was for 25k points for 4 stays. I'm currently a HHonors Diamond so I called and had the accounts merged so I still get the 25k points after 4 stays.

Same story here... I just rec'd the comp'd Gold status. I didn't know they will transfer my existing points from my original account. I'll seek that out. Thanks!

Cheers.

I should have known!

All I have to do is go to FT to find answers. I had no idea why I got gold HH status - I didn't do anything aside from one stay in a Hilton and this elite card came in the mail. I've been wondering about it for months. Thanks for filling me in.

Got a similar offer last year. Used to stay in Hilton hotels at least once or twice a month, but stopped and lost all status. I suppose this freebie was a way of reigniting some loyalty.

However, like I am with my women, I seldom stray and I'm a one-hotel-chain kind of guy, and my love is currently for Starwood.
