Hilton Revives Status Match With Lower Night Requirements

Eligible elites from rival hotel programs can complete a 90‑day challenge to lock in perks for more than two years.

Overview

  • Participants receive temporary Hilton Honors Gold and can keep Gold with six paid nights in 90 days or earn Diamond with 12 paid nights in the same window.
  • Applicants must not currently hold Hilton Gold or Diamond and need to show proof of external elite status plus a recent stay with that program.
  • Hilton accepts screenshots of account status and a recent reservation or receipt for verification, with personal data allowed to be redacted.
  • Initial status updates after approval can take roughly 7–12 business days to appear in accounts.
  • Analysts note the match is most compelling for travelers who won’t get Hilton credit cards or who already have upcoming paid Hilton stays to convert into multi‑year status.
