Understand your concerns about diluting benefits, but since you're diamond, you'd probably get any room upgrades ahead of golds anyways. Not a lot to be concerned about
If you want gold status all you have to do is sign up for the hilton amex suprass card and pay the 75 fee that will give you gold the rest of this year, all next year and thru march of 2014. if you spend 40k on the card in a year you get upgraded to diamond. if you have a few nights at a hilton and get a few free breakfasts it quickly pays for the 75 fee

Wow! I jus stumbled across this thread, I was looking to try to match to another program. The deal is still alive and well. Really hope it sticks. Just booked a bunch of reservations at Hilton, normally wouldn't have done that.

Forget about it! It is illegal to sign-up for this promotion if you are not a holder of the proper credit card!

Did you switch your country of residence in your profile to Australia then log out and log back in and then try it?

Free HH Gold promo

https://www.hiltonhhonors.com/landin...initeGold.aspx

You need a visa infinite number for it (google one if you need one ), and it's not targeted.

Read the T&C before signing up because you need to have an address in certain regions to qualify for the promo.

Hilton has slowly but surely been devaluating its gold status; it basically gets me now free internet and breakfast. Real upgraded rooms are few and far in between.

Yes but it is still better than nothing You don't get free breakfast at Marriott hotels as Gold during weekends.
