Visa signature and Visa gold
I applied for the visa signature hilton card. I got approved for the visa gold hilton card. Does anyone know if that makes me not valid for the bonus to apply and be approved for the visa signature in less than 18 months

If you're feeling adventurous and/or lucky, wait for the necessary 8 days (or 65 days, if you have multiple recent Citi apps) and then apply again.

It's true that 50k HH points are worth only a fraction of 50k AA miles or 50k Citi TY points. But the HH cards required only $1k spend, not $3k or $5k. For people like me who don't MS, that made it feasible to churn the HH card several times a year while churning the bigger cards fewer times per year. I would happily jump back on the treadmill with HH cards if Citi offers them without the 18 month eligibility constraint again.

Upgrade to GOLD
Any one has a data point on this?
One of the benefit as per the terms for City Hilton Honors Visa is
"Enjoy HHonors Silver status, with fast-track to HHonors Gold status
after 4 stays within your first 90 days of account opening or when you make $20,000 or more in purchases each calendar year1"
Anyone got their status upgrated to GOLD after completing 4 stays within the first 90 days?

Many people have experience with those other flavors. I haven't heard of people mentioning yet that they've done it specifically through the HH Visa version, which has only been available for a relatively short time IIRC.There's obviously more timing flexibility by doing another version where you pick the time to start, independent of when you got a particular credit card, than doing one whose timing is tied to opening of a credit card.

No go. Requested it on 2 of our churn teams cards. From the 50K to 75K. Applied the Sunday before the Tuesday 75K offer came out. Got the letters this week. Said we weren't targeted.

Reports are that you lose gold a few days after canceling the reserve card.

No idea if it will last until 2017 but it lasted 4 months ( so far) as we used the Gold benefits last week
Mine expires March 2016 and I also used the Gold benefits last week and i cancelled my Surpass 10 months ago

One of the bloggers reported the cancellation quickly after canceling the card, but they might have just taken the word of a phone agent. And I never trust phone agents, especially Citi phone agents. The longer it lasts the better though.

95% of the bloggers don't know what they're talking about. Even IHG Plat and Carlson Gold stay intact for quite awhile. It's likely until the beginning of the following calendar year around Feb where most status checks restart, but what do I know.
