I am a GOLD member but this will drop to silver in January (the last year was a big focus on Marriott due to lounge for Gold members).
I have greatly enjoyed gold status (from my old credit card) but this will come to an end. The breakfast has been a great perk.
I have just moved to the UK (3 months this week) and will be traveling every 3 weeks for 1 or 2 nights. Diamond would really come in handy.
Work has regularly been having 20% cash back on top of Hilton sales. So I have been scrambling to find a way to maintain at least gold from Jan. Just as you say it is a lot harder to find credit card status.
Last weekend I was in Brussels Hilton (didn't get an upgrade on the Thursday night, but for Friday&Saturday I got a suite). The full breakfast is a nice way to start the day.
I can definitely make sure it gets a high level of use next year as I am exploring the continent. Will be at least 10 Hilton's next year (have Warsaw booked in already), especially since I find so many have excellent weekend rates.

Hello Xailter, that is a really nice thing to offer forum members. I live in Europe (currently Switzerland) and am already Gold, with numerous stays planned next year (to renew my Gold status - not sure if being Gold invalidates my participation!). Diamond is something I will never reach, simply don't stay enough during the year.

Hello there. What a nice offer! I am a gold member living in Europe and my last stay was in the last 6 months! My next Hilton stay is in mid December! 😄👍. My family and I would definitely use it, I’ve got a bunch of points to spend with Hilton and we are trying to figure out where to go 😁😁 Thanks for the opportunity to be in your lottery.

I would like to join the raffle too!
I'm a gold member until March of next year (and I don't think that I would be able to requalify)
In any case, I want to say thank you to this random act of kindness!

A kind gesture. I don't need the status myself, but you inspired me to find a friend to give Gold status to. Thanks for the reminder!

Wow what an insanely kind offer.
I'm silver, UK, and travel mostly for business (always on business when staying at Hilton) and despite spending more time than I'd like away from family never seem to rack up enough stays or nights to make Gold (and obviously the cheap airport hotels don't rack up many points to qualify for much that way!).
Next year have a good chunk of business travel (but again enough to be Silver but just miss out on Gold as usual...) so it would be fantastic to pick up some extra perks while on the road.
Thanks again and good luck everyone!
