Hilton’s 2025 status challenge program for preferred corporate partners is out, and you could be eligible if you work for one of the larger companies.
Compared to what was offered last year, the new program is simpler and reduced to only two versions:
- Receive Gold status instantly, stay 5 nights to maintain it or 10 nights to get Diamond
- Receive Silver status instantly, stay 2 nights to maintain it or 5 nights to get Gold
You can sign up to the promotion by October 2 and then have 90 days to complete the challenge. Both paid and award stays count. Once accomplished, the status will be valid through March 31, 2027, and that’s more than two years from now!
Here are some companies eligible for Instant Gold:
- Meta
- Amazon
- Oracle
- Apple
- IBM
- Salesforce
- Microsoft
- Alibaba
- ByteDance
- Huawei
- Tencent
- Cisco
- Bloomberg
- Deloitte
- PwC
- Ernst & Young
- McKinsey
- Accenture
- General Electric
- Shell
- Siemens
- Dell
- Toyota
- Samsung
- Honeywell
And Instant Silver:
- Walmart
- Baidu
Although there’s no Instant Diamond this time, the list is very long and it’s likely that you or someone you know work at one of these companies. After signing up you’ll receive a verification email that needs clicking to activate the offer.
If you are a Hilton elite member already, I believe you can sign up to maintain or upgrade your status too.
The 90-day challenge starts immediately after activation so don’t press the button unless your travel plans are coming up. If you don’t qualify for this offer but have status with another hotel group, Hilton’s public status match program is still available too.
Hat Tip: 倍多分
*Gold/Silver. *McKinsey. *ByteDance.
Haha thanks, McKinsey is tricky to spell!
Any workarounds if you do not work for these approved companies?
As long as you know someone who does and can click an email for you
Thanks, easy enough to changeover to my gmail once the above is done and created?
For creating new account, yes. Existing account only needs the work email to validate once. I forgot to add the links now they are in the post.
But it’s not possible to use an employees email multiple times?
Don’t do it even it’s possible, unless you want your account audited
Makes definitely sense, I was just wondering.
