Free Hilton Silver / Gold VIP card AND double points & miles to 31/8
Sorry if this has already been discussed but I got a very nice surprise in the post this morning. A silver VIP HHonours card, the blurb that came with it said BMI but did not seem to give a reason. I can only guess that it's because of my gold card in which case I would keep your eyes peeled for postie! Silver level does not seem to get you very much but 15% bonus points is better than nothing.

I got HH VIP Gold from BA two years ago. It's dropped back down to Blue now though. Perhaps I should delete my HH account to be in with a chance to get a new one?
Current HH Status: Blue

What, only Silver?
I dont want to spoil anybody's day but.... purely for information sake I will let you know that I got a visit from the postie this morning with a HH Gold VIP card on the bmi partner letter. It joins a few others, but might be a useful mileage earning opportunity.

My father got a HH Silver letter this morning (he's a BD Silver). Hope I get one, as it seems to give you double destinations and hilton miles over the summer after the current triple miles promo has expired.
Am I correct in thinking one should set their Hilton HHonors preferences to points + fixed miles?

'tis done.
I'll save the "diamond" option until my letter comes on Monday.
Just wondering whether this is targetted only at those folks without a current HH account, or else is "upgrading" those that do.

I can't tell you exactly what the letter said as my dad read it out to me over the phone. However it was along the lines of double destinations and Hilton HHonors base points until 31 August 2009

I see those funny people over on the BA Board seem to have a similar offer being thrown at them.
