It is a known secret that the Hilton membership program gives its members one of the best perks. Recently I chanced upon their status match promotion that matches you to Gold/Diamond if you are already having status in other membership programs.

I have my eyes on the Hilton membership program for a long time and heard about their status match program only recently.

Highlights of being a Gold member gives you:

• 25% bonus on base points earned
• Space available upgrade to a preferred room
• 1000 bonus points or 2 continental breakfast for 2 registered guests

The gold and diamond status requires 20 stays, 40 nights or 75,000 HHonors Base Points and 30 stays, 60 nights or 120,000 HHonors Base Points respectively which are not always easy to obtain. This is especially so if you are already a member of another membership program. For more details on benefits, click here.


To obtain a status match, you need to be Gold / Platinum equivalent member of  a leading hotel chain. So for instances, SPG Gold members will be matched to Gold Status in the Hilton program and the Platinum, you get Diamond in Hilton Hhnours.


All you got to do is to upload your membership card or screenshot of your account details and also proof of stay in the hotel loyalty program. Do note that only .jpg files are accepted.


I initially cropped out important bits to upload and received a rejection email mentioning the below

• If you are a member of another hotel loyalty A screenshot or photo of your existing hotel membership card with your name printed clearly on it (handwritten names or those that appear to have been altered will not be accepted)

• Copy of your recent account statement and activity (those that appear to be altered will not be accepted)

It seems they are a little strict and understand the wonders of Photoshop. I proceeded by just uploading unedited print screens and received a confirmation message that my status match is successful and will be processed in 5 business days.

After a couple of days, i received the below email.


The only caveat to this is that you need to complete 4 or 8 stays for Gold/Diamond respectively in the next 90 days and you will be rewarded with the relevant status until Mar 31 2018. This is a really great promotion and gives members from the other hotel chains to discover the hospitality of Hilton chains.

So go on, and head to Hilton HHonors match website and get yours today. You are Welcome!
