I merged mine immediately after setting up the new account, into my existing Diamond account - per instructions from a supervisor on the Diamond desk. This preserved my Diamond status, and brought the promotion into it. I have subsequently received bonus points, so I can confirm that this works.</font>

So ...
1. Set up new account and register for promo.
2. Promo code is ACAQ, right?
3. Immediately merge accounts, stay a Diamond and the bonus points will flow in, right?
4. 4 stays between now and Feb 15, right?
5. I have a revenue stay at LGW booked. That will count and I can stay as a Diamond, right?
For 50K points, I don't want to screw it up.

I have an old Gold card from the last promo giving me status until 2005. I hope that during the merger I would not lose that deadline. Anyone with that experience? I do like my undeserved Gold status. I can't believe that HHonors is letting people merge accounts. Why not just let you have the promo to begin with?
What 25K promo with United is anyone talking about? The only one I know of does not involve Hilton.

I am in that 2005 year issue as well. I'm waiting until the end of the year to see what happens. There is a targetted promo going on for 3000 points for 3 stays (anyone get that one)? Me wants 50,000 points, but me wants to be Gold until 4/2005 as well.

If you have a card that says Gold to 2005 do you really think Hilton would SHORTEN that under this promo? If anything, I would expect a year to be added I am not worried.
I am not worried.

Thank you so much for sharing this!
I was going to lose HH status next year because my new employer prefers Marriott. (I know, I know, but I took the job anyway)
Does it matter which way I merge the accounts? IE should I merge the new into old, or old into new? Doesn't matter to me, just wanna make sure I get the best out of it!

Finally-- successfuly merged the two gold accounts, keeping the old HH number. Can't wait to see if the promo points will show up during next four stays...
Any success stories so far from someone merging before staying?
