I was not aware there were any current Fast Track promotions going on now.
Which one did you sign up for and what were the terms and conditions? Were there any bonuses offered as well?

I just called the HHonors and the lady at the other end said that it was too late this year to register for the promo. She did do a courtesy upgrade from Silver to Gold though. Once again, FlyerTalk to the rescue!

Gold is now strictly a commodity that anyone can get by asking. Hilton Honors gold is devaluing faster than currency in Argentina

Watered down or not, I'll score some big brownie points with my girlfriend when I return from the Homewood here in NJ every week with a box of truffles. That alone is worth it. Oh yeah - the extra 10% point bonus will be nice too.

If a box of hotel truffles will do it, marry the girl!

You can find more information about this promo in this thread (among many, many others, do a search on "EWRDC"):

Fast Track to Gold VIP Status
This may already have been covered in previous posts, but just in case...
Received the (no annual fee) AMEX Hilton Platinum card in the mail last night. Knew that it got you automatic Silver status, up to 10, 000 pts, etc, from the website:
http://www.hilton.com/en/hhonors/poi...editcard.jhtml
But didn't know til I read the card's accompanying literature that you get:
"Fast track to Hilton HHonors Gold VIP status after just four qualifying Double Dip stays at any combination of HHonors hotels..." "...within 90 days of receipt of your [card]".
