<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThis year, I\u2019ve seen two versions of the offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gold status match<\/a><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Diamond status match<\/a><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You must register by the end of this year. Once registered, the trial period and challenge start immediately. Both paid stays and reward stays count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you complete the challenge, the retained or earned status will be valid through 31 March 2028, so it’s a great time to secure two years of status. Interestingly, the Diamond challenge has a significantly higher requirement than the Gold one, with the obvious upside being four months of Diamond benefits upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re eligible, simply enter your corporate email address on the promotion page and confirm via the verification email. There was a loophole earlier where a Gmail address would work for the Gold match, but that’s now fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is a partial list of companies that, based on my personal testing, appear to be eligible for the Diamond match:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hilton elite status is highly valuable. Gold is widely regarded as the best mid-tier status among major hotel groups, with complimentary breakfast across all brands, room upgrades and late checkout. Diamond mainly adds executive lounge access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are currently a Diamond member, you could enrol in the Gold <\/mark><\/strong>match program and after 10 nights stayed in the next 90 days, your Diamond status will be extended – this is what I understand from the FAQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have an eligible corporate email but do hold elite status with another hotel group, you can still join Hilton\u2019s public status match + challenge<\/a>. It\u2019s similar to the Gold match above, but slightly less attractive, requiring 6 nights or 12 nights respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New year, new beginnings, and Hilton\u2019s Gold and Diamond status match \/ challenge for corporate clients is back!
