Hilton Honors Macquarie Platinum Card

[albyd]

I agree just got it. Points are t anything flash but working towards my diamond status as my status match expires soon.

Hoping I can use the reward certificates for a family trip OS later this year. I understand it’s meant to be for a base room. Hoping can get a decent room for family of 4. Interested in anyone’s experience. Going to Hawaii likely to stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village.

They renewed me diamond until 03/19 I haven’t even hit the 40k spend

Not complaining tho.

Can I ask how much your spend was?

 

[vitagen]

Good question I would say about 15k I stopped after getting my second cert

Thanks for the heads up - my Diamond status has also been extended until 03/19

Mine shows me as still diamond too. But where do you see the expiry? I can't see it in the app.

If using the website, go to My Hilton Honors Card (towards the top left corner under My Account). Then when you view your digital card, it will say it in the lower right corner outside the white boarder.

Ditto here too....I wonder why?! I only put through just over 12K this year to get the free night

Some got the same pleasant surprise last year, as well. However, I won’t get too excited until after 31 March, to see if it sticks.

I'm with you here. I'm sure I haven't spent $40K on the card, but then again, I don't know when the 12 month period commences (presume based on card commencement + 12 months).

I think I need to get one of these.

My daughter went to apply for the card last night however the fee free option for the first year expired on 31 January.

Does anyone know how often this promo pops up?

I've recently hit my $12K spend and all charges have posted. How long did it take other members before status was upgraded to Diamond/extended.

I'm prepared to keep going to $40K if required but with poor points earn, like to have the choice of using other cards for further spend. Perks are otherwise great and justify the spend for me. Great card with good annual fee deal and online/app account management tools.

Just catching up…will there now be a fee after the first year for those of us who joined fee free ?
Had stopped using it, but might have to push some money through to get diamond and then decide about paying a fee…..

The 2nd free night (for $12k) arrived shortly after hitting that mark.

Diamond Status - does that even require $12k/$40k?

I received a free extra year of Diamond last year. Not taking any chances this year..
