My son in law just received an email from NWA stating that if he applies for the Hilton AMEX, registers for the promo, and spends $20,000 with the card in a calender year, that he will receive Hilton HHonors Gold for a year. I know questions will arise which I cannot answer now about what the year consists of since we are allready into March, but I will post the email,word for word tommorrow. The only reason I post this now is so that you are aware that there is another way to achieve Gold status, and to check NWA emails a little more closely.

We've been discussing a similar deal for the past few days. It seems like it is not really a part of a promo, but a general benefit for all.

Hearing about this version is helpful, though. Thanks for posting.

Here is the other discussion:

I am so sorry about the following info that I forwarded last night.
My son in law received 2 offers, one from Hilton and one from NWA. He got them terribly confused. The first offer was from Hilton for the AMEX Hilton Credit card which offered Gold status for a year with $20,000 in purchases. I found more info on this at www.webflyer.com/blog
The second offer was from an email he received which gives a person silver status and a free night after 3 stays from March 21st-June 30th,2005. The offer is non transferrable. Here it is from the Email....
