Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

[ozstamps]

Have earned heaps of Virgin SC this past year, so am qualified to comp my wife Virgin Platinum during this year.

Do comped statuses get the Hilton diamond benefit, does anyone recall?

If the option to enroll for the benefit is available when logged in online then it is available.

She used it years ago on earned Platinum status.

Seemed to recall reading here that after a lapse, it sometime was also made available?

Not these days ... it will show an indication of when the benifit may have been previously actived, even if years before instead of an option.

Wife never has points or SC as they all pool to me so I guess there is nothing stopping her opening up a new Velocity account that gets the gifted Platinum status?

Does Virgin 'soft land' Gifted Status, does anyone know?

No (nothing stopping her/you) and yes, soft landing on any status is my understanding

So even comped Status seems to get the soft landing - sounds handy for us.

I went from (VA-sponsored) Diamond to Silver when I "didn't quite meet the requirements to maintain my status". Only 49 nights short.

To be clear, that is a feature of the Hilton program, not Velocity.

Silver related to the 11 nights.
