They promised something very cool. Didn't you receive the cold shoulder like I got?

You got a shoulder? Lucky, I didn't even get that.

Nope, I was one of the lucky ones that was targeted but I still feel it's unfair on those who didn't and got promised better things later down the road.......I would feel cheated too!

This is such an old thread to revive, so unusual.

As a data point, I did receive the 100,000 points at the time

Me too, nice to get. Back then though I don’t recall the promos going on 24/7.

I've been a diamond most of the last 18 years and I've *never* expected or asked for an extra bonus to "retain/re-qualify" my level. Like most people I suppose I just enjoy the extra points that come as a bonus on each stay from already being a diamond when I stay. Those add up plenty over time.

Well yes kind of......... but they did state " further down the line our menbers who didn't receive the 100000 points will receive some very cool offers " ...... we are now definitely further down the line .
I was curious if it actually happened?........obviously not.

Seriously doubt that there is any connection but I'd say that the 10k milestones at 40/50 nights, and the 30k at 60 nights, plus the ability to gift gold are all pretty cool.

I'm still on 59 nights but I think they mentioned that you will get the ability to nominate a gold partner cardholder at 60... will check this out but tbh I don't know anyone who travels to Hiltons enough to really notice and who isn't diamond already.

Yes at 60 nights you can gift Gold status to anyone. At 100 nights you can gift Diamond status.
