Overview
- Gold will require 25 nights and Diamond 50 nights, while the new Diamond Reserve will require 80 nights plus $18,000 in qualifying spend.
- Diamond Reserve benefits include 120% bonus points, a confirmable upgrade at booking up to a one‑bedroom suite (valid for stays up to seven nights, up to two per year), guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, dedicated support, and complimentary access to Premium Clubs.
- Rollover nights are being eliminated, with nights accumulated in 2025 applied only toward 2026 status and not beyond.
- Employee training on the changes begins December 1, 2025, Homewood Suites and Spark base earn rates drop to 5 points per dollar on January 8, 2026, and Milestone Rewards will be available up to 180 nights.
- Lifetime Diamond retains 10 years and 1,000 nights, with the alternative path changing to $200,000 in spend, and Hilton projects $500 million in incremental annual revenue while noting fewer than 4% of 2025 Diamonds would have met Reserve criteria.
