I read that Hilton Diamond Lifetime status will be granted to those who have been Diamond member for 10 years (non-consecutive). I became Hilton Diamond for 2 years with my Accor Platinum that I have matched. Do these 2 years count towards the 10 years for lifetime Diamond?

Being a Diamond member for 10 years is only one of the requirements. You also need to have had 1,000 paid or reward stays or to have accumulated over 2,000,000 base points. The language about maintaining Diamond status is rather vague but nothing specifically excludes the year(s) one was a Diamond member through a status match or a credit card.

There is no place to track your progress. You need to ask the customer service department to open a case for you and provide you with your up-to-date stats.

Ok, and what expenses will count towards lifetime Diamond? I guess all room rates, extra expenses in restaurants but excluding taxes. Will buying points also count towards lifetime diamond?

All eligible folio charge will count (taxes do not count). Only base points count, so buying bonus points won't.

Thanks! I earn on average 1000-1200 base points per night. In that way I will achieve lifetime Diamond way faster by achieving 1000 nights rather than 2,000,000 base points.

Hi - also received the email on the 7th.
Has anyone received a package in the mail? I assume they started mailing out after the 13th. I'm also guessing its a pair of headphones, but still curious.
Thanks!

Some of us received an email on September 7 welcoming us to Lifetime Diamond (I crossed the threshold earlier in the year) and asking us to confirm our mailing address by September 13 for a welcome kit. Though re-reading the email, it says they will send out the welcome gift in the mail "in the coming months" so maybe they just needed to tell the vendor the address and this will be a XMAS present.
October 2 - Received update email from Hilton - welcome package on its way, expect in a few weeks.

I just got an email notifying me that I will get my Lifetime Diamond package in the mail shortly. I didn't realize I was close, what is the criteria?
I used the one time bump for diamond for 2018 since I didn't travel much last year.
