Hat tip to Loyalty Lobby
Original post: Hilton has announced that members with Diamond elite status and Lifetime Diamond status will be able to gift status for one year to a friend or family member (Diamond can gift Gold status and Lifetime Diamond can gift Diamond). Starts next week through January 31, 2021. Normally this benefit is reserved for Diamond members that stay 100+ nights in a year, if you also meet this requirement you’ll be able to gift status twice.
Emailed both priorityletter and priority.letter and have heard crickets…
I was able to gift Gold with my Diamond status
Recommendation: ask for US rep if one needs a rep with more comprehensive training. Usually more informed, better experience.
I e-mailed the “priority letter” a couple weeks ago and again a couple days ago and apparently it’s not much of a priority. Haven’t heard a word
I have a Diamond status thru a credit card. I haven’t received any emails about gifting the Gold status. I’ve just called the Hilton Honors customer service about this special status gifting and they knew nothing about it. They were only aware of the standard perk where you have to stay 30 nights in order to gift the Gold status.
Same, they said if I stay 30 nights in 2021 or stayed 60 nights in 2020 I would be eligible.
I have Diamond through the Aspire card and was able to gift Gold. They’re probably sending this out in batches.
Anybody want Hertz Five star?
I’ll be even happier to gift it to someone who has a Hilton status to gift 😉
I would love 5-star but I don’t have the HH status to offer in return.
Okay, let’s get it done. I think some personal information is required.
Are you a member of any forums like flyer talk?
And Hertz President circle members can gift President Circle to one friend 🙂 I can gift 1 lmk !
May I get that?
Yup. I might need Hertz Login (username only) and idk if it violets policy in comments of Doc
My username :matthew145
Thank you very much
So I tried to proceed and it needs First Name, Last Name, Email, State
Could you shoot me an email to cacbonfire@gmail.com. I feel sharing personal information here is a little risky

This will really dilute the status to the point where hotels will be extra stingy with upgrades or limited breakfast if practically everyone becomes diamond! I’d be upset if I were a true business travel with high actual spend at their hotels.
TBH they’re already stingy with upgrades. I’ve been diamond 5 years and it rarely happens for me. I’m going to try and mostly stay in former SPG properties as they seem to know hospitality the best.
Where can I find the code?
