Mine has still not been resolved for nearly 4 weeks... I'm waiting for the full month to elapse before pestering them.

My experience has been as follows.....
Sunday/Monday of last week I exchanged a couple of emails with the GGL team. This morning (Weds) email from Hilton saying I have been upgraded to Diamond which is valid to end March 2019.
I am convinced there is a large element of luck involved in this process but am, obviously, very happy this time round.
Orbitmic I think you could pester after nearly 4 weeks as that seems a long time compared to my 9 days. I was going to give them a couple of weeks before a polite "excuse me.."

I recall getting my initial Diamond card took a while (this was in Sept 2015) and I had to ask a couple of times. I was very pleasantly surprised this time round.
I probably only do about 8 nights a year in a Hilton - but as that is 8 nights more than I was doing before I think their marketing ploy has worked on me.

One data point
Emailed GGL desk on Sat night and they replied they will send my name off to Hilton.
Checked Honors account today (Tuesday) and account was already upgraded to Diamond.

How does this work with regards to getting status from May's outage?
I got 2 years extended GGL status from that so didn't really need to make a push this year (flew some other airlines, had to cancel some flights, rescheduled some for this year etc.).
Still Diamond according to the Hilton app, which I assume might last until the end of this month?

Have only emailed GGL once, but I didn't hear from anybody within 24 hours so decided to call instead.
