Hi All,
I've been away for work a fair bit this year and am due to cross over the 100 nights threshold this week
This gives me the opportunity to gift Diamond status to someone, which I believe would be valid until March 2020 (?). I've asked both my family & friends (they don't stay in Hiltons much) and my work colleagues (they all have Gold / Diamond status already) but no takers, so I've decided to gift this to someone who would be able to take advantage of it but wouldn't necessarily be able to earn Diamond the traditional way.
So with that out the way, here's the deal (as the gifter I make the rules):
I will pick at random a poster and having confirmed the above will gift you Diamond status the beginning of December (think of it as an early Christmas present 
)
Thanks all,
-X
For clarification: I will be taking all the names from this thread (that wish to participate) and feed them into a computer program that will pick at random. I will then confirm via PM you meet the rules outlined above and will then submit the form to get you Diamond status (please allow around a week for Hilton to process this), thanks and good luck!

- Do you live in Europe (I believe our friends across the ocean have much easier access to Diamond)?
- Are you Member / Silver level in the Hilton Honors scheme and have had a stay in the past 6 months?
- Do you have upcoming Hilton stay(s) for your holiday / vacation and would benefit from free breakfast and lounge access?

Very generous offer and much appreciated by many I expect.
I would love to put my name forward but I am not sure that I qualify ... having just got a status match (from IHG) to Gold with Hilton as I have four Hilton stays in December and a good chance to see if Gold is worth it.
But if I do still qualify then it would most certainly get used a lot in the coming year (with three other trips planned for 2019). And, if begging makes any difference, all my hotel and stays are (now) self funded and this would indeed make a diamond present for my wife!

Hi
Im reducing to Silver in 2019 sadly so would appreciate being included in this very generous draw living in the EU.
Have a 4 night stay at end of my Gold era next month but sadly wont stay there.
Good luck to all, very noble gesture.

12. How long does a gifted status last for a Member who receives the gifted status?
The gifted status will last 365 days from the date the gift was applied to the recipient's account. If a member receives Gold status and then is upgraded to Diamond status, the 365-day expiration period resets to the date the Diamond status was applied to the member's account.
Example: If a member receives a gift of Gold status on June 1st, 2018, then the Gold status would expire on June 1st, 2019. If that same member was automatically upgraded to Diamond status on August 1st, 2018, then the Diamond status would expire on August 1st, 2019.

It's a great thing to share something you don't need but someone else can benefit on. I have this year started my journey towards the diamond and I currently have my last reservation for this year coming in Finland and then I reach silver. I have some bookings already made for the next year in Sweden and it would be marvelous to surprise the fiancee with the diamond status and the lounge access. Thank you anyway whom ever you decide to give the status to.

Thoughtful to give it away. However I note it would be better if you simply went with first person that asked. Doing it as a drawing can open up a legal mess. Not that anybody would cause an issue, but it could become one. For example a Canadian would need to do a math problem for them to legally win. Again not saying anything happens. However I doubt FT wants that risk.
Again, very thoughtful idea.

This is great. I oo would like to add my salutation to the OP.
I‘d love to participate but sadly I don‘t have any Hilton stays coming up at all. But I‘m sure you‘ll make somebody else very happy
This reminds me... I haven‘t yet given away the SAS silver card that I can give away...
