Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

Is that a VA1 to VA2 thing with some turbulence along the way? Or just lucky?
Neither. I followed the lead from another member on this thread a couple of months (see upthread a few pages ago) ago by reaching out and simply asking for Velocity to reinstate the once-off instant Hotel status benefit. It probably helped that I'd been Platinum with Velocity for the prior 12 years. But its definitely a matter of YMMV and don't ask don't get.

Won't that change on 1st April as that is the first day of the Hilton year when you drop a level?
I don't believe so because from Hilton's perspective, I just attained Diamond having temporarily dropped to Silver for a couple of days. Whether it was after a week (and 0 nights) or 11 months (and 60 nights) in the calendar year is irrelevant.
 
I activated my second VA HHD entitlement at midday on January 1st. Today when I log in, my account states that I’m Diamond thru 2025.
Oh I was expecting that your status would run till March 2027. Did you only get till March 2026? I am thinking when I should activate my status match.

That’s what I originally thought and was hoping for, but it seems not. Having said that, for the life of me I cannot find the status expiry on the App or website now.

It’s only visible on the monthly HH email statements; else you can chat to an agent via chat on a web browser to confirm
