Hilton to offer Diamond Status Extension for 2023
Launching in January 2023, the offer will be limited to “eligible Diamond members” – and while no more details are known at this stage, it’s worth reflecting that a similar one-time Diamond Status Extension in 2017 set the bar at a total of three years at Diamond status (those years did not have to be consecutive) with paid or reward stays of at least 250 nights or an earning of more than 500,000 Base Points over the lifetime of their Hilton Honors membership.

Although I’m hopeful and quietly confident something will come along in a similar vein to the current double nights promo.

But now that HH has gotten a taste for double elite night promos, I think there's a solid chance that we'll also see one in 4Q 2023...

Received this offer, 3 stays by March 31st and keep Diamond to March 2024. Will award stays normally count for these types of offers? I read through the FAQ and the all the information I could find. All it says is that a "stay" is one more consecutive nights in a specific hotel no matter the number of check-in/outs. No mention of it must be a paid stay or not. I'm thinking if I need one extra stay, 20K points might be worth extending my Diamond status, but not sure I'd want to pay $100 for it though as the benefits here in the US have been watered down so much (and I'm not expecting a lot of additional stays later in the year.)

I got my offer and needed 2 stays to retain diamond. I had actually booked Marriott for my next 2 trips, but this offer made me reconsider.
So I broke my next 3 night trip into 2 stays at different Hilton properties. But after that I’m back at marriot as they currently have a double elite night credit and 1,000 extra points per night.

I got one for 3 stays by the end of March... I have a ton of points, and haven't stayed at any hotel since Covid hit. Perhaps cash and points at a local Garden Inn nearby. Not exactly going to stay there, but just check in...

Well I feel like an idiot for spending an extra Ł100 (above the price of a cheaper hotel) to renew D, but I did get a mini-upgrade and free breakfast and lounge for 3 that I wouldn't have in the other hotel, so it wasn't really wasted money.
If I had wasted time on a mattress run then I would be less pleased. Also I am now less likely to try and meet the requirements this year, especially with the threat of breakfast being replaced by the credit outside the US for more / all brands next year.

I didn't receive the email but do see the "Tier Last Call 2023 Promotion - Fast Track to Diamond" offer in my offers section online. However, the details of required activities are not listed anywhere, including in the fine print.
Are the stay requirements the same for everyone? From what I've seen on FT and elsewhere, it appears to be three stays between 1 Jan 23 and 31 Mar 23. Should I assume those are my requirements as well?
