Wild Rumour : Hilton Honors to Offer Lifetime Status [confirmed]

[Princess Fiona]

Just saw this posted on Facebook
Hilton HHonors Introducing Lifetime Status? | LoyaltyLobby

Here's hoping it's true

 

[drross]

Interesting. Fingers crossed

 

[drron]

Maybe losing too many to SPG which has lifetime status.Another 2 years before I am LTP with SPG.

 

[kpc]

I wonder how high the bar will be set...and would all previous stays be counted??

 

[JohnK]

As long as there are no further devaluations for points and year by year status.

Can't see myself ever getting lifetime status anyway.

 

[DC3]

Might be lifetime Silver.

 

[JMFK]

Interesting. Perhaps this will be enough to keep me loyal to Hilton next year. I'm strongly considering whether the grass is greener at SPG.

 

[DC3]

Now no longer a wild rumour, I think.

Wow, that's awesome
I'm definitely not going to be one if those invited but it will be great to hear what the qualifying requirements are

 

[JMFK]

Great news. Will be very interested to see what the qualifying requirements are!

Hopefully I'm at least half way!

 

[JessicaTam]

And once the requirements are known the discussion on it being too low can start cf the requirements being too high.

I can't wait. I need base points requirements or I will be "staying" a few months at Hilton Kuching. I.e. Checkin in jan, pay for 3 months and 2 rooms and fly back to checkout

You and me both

If that takes off there might be a couple of 'ghost' hotels around the world.

Well if they use the same system of eligibility as SPG I would make lifetime diamond-14 years at elite levels and over 600 nights at Hiltons.Bet they don't though.

 

[JessicaTam]

It is now official:

Hilton HHonors Lifetime Diamond Status

10 years at Diamond and 1,000 nights.

 

[JMFK]

Yikes. As someone who's only ever done it on stays and base points, this is gonna take a while!!

Half way on the years though!

 

[drron]

Wonder how far they go back.I had 7 years as diamond and gold since.Always qualified 3 ways.
Is there a lifetime gold.Couldn't find mention of it.The SPG lifetime status better-only 500 nights for plat,250 for gold so already have that.

 

[JessicaTam]

No mention of gold. The years at diamond don't have to be consecutive, so that may help you.

Yikes! What's the reaction over on Flyertalk? I'd expect a few people would have been hoping an easier hurdle.
