Any fast track gold/diamond offers available?

Hi all,

Alas my diamond status with Hilton comes to an end at the end of March. I did very well out of the pandemic offers.

Do any folk know of any fast track offers going on to get back to gold+? I'm highly unlikely to hit 30 nights/15 stays this year.

I've not really got much in the way of upgrades, but I do value the free breakfasts. My workplace doesn't have an accelerator offer, and I *could* get the Amex Platinum card (UK), but at £600/year, it's cheaper to just pay for breakfast.

I bow down to the excellent community knowledge.

Thanks!

You have the standard Diamond extension offer - 250 nights + 3 full years of Diamond needed - but you ought to have been emailed already if eligible.

You also have the standard status matches where I would recommend starting after 1 April. https://www.hiltonhonors.com/en_US/s...match/landing/

But ultimately, Hilton hotels in Europe / UK are overpriced compared to similar hotels and the value of Hilton points is much lower than the other major chains. If you can't do the 20 stays for Gold from organic travel, just enjoy life as a free agent...

A friend did not qualify for Diamond last year but received a Diamond extension offer.
He has not stayed in Hilton group hotels this year, so I checked his account today. The account shows that Silver from March 31st, means that fortunately he did not yet accepted the extension offer.
Why fortunately?
Becuse his Offers page shows the following active offer: Instant Diamond Status &Fast Track Offer. Offer valid through April 29.
Some fine print lines: Upon registration, Member will receive Diamond status for the remainder of promotional period through April 29, 2024. To maintain Diamond status for the remainder of the current calendar year and the following, Member must complete 12 qualifying nights by April 29th, 2024.If the member completes 6-11 qualifying nights in promotional period through April 29, 2024, the Member will earn Gold status for the remainder of the current calendar year and the following. Registration period begins January 4, 2024 and ends April 29, 2024.

I signed up for this, but I don't know if the 12 nights started when I signed up or for the year-to-date? Any ideas how to find out my status on meeting the Fast Track? Thanks!

How do you see when your status expires? I can't see it anywhere...

Offer FAQ:
I registered for a Fast Track offer and do not see my progress via the app or on HiltonHonors.com. Where can my I find it?At this time, Members cannot track their Fast Track progression via the App or HiltonHonors.com. To find out progress, the traveler should call Hilton Reservation Customer Care (HRCC) directly (+1 800 548 8690).

The only place I regularly see the tier expiry (US: expiration) date is in the monthly statement e-mails which they send out.



Screenshot of a Hilton Honors monthly statement email, showing the tier expiry date.
