Hilton has extended its status match program. In January, you could match through March 2017, but now you can submit your match request by June 30, 2016 to get Hilton HHonors status through March 31, 2018.
Starwood, Marriott, IHG, Hyatt and Choice are specifically listed as programs from which you can match. While there is no chart listing which status level you’ll need to have to receive HHonors Diamond, in the past TPG readers have reported being able to match from IHG Platinum, Marriott Platinum and Starwood Platinum to Hilton Diamond — which we value at over $2,300.
@JTGenter Our apologies for any confusion. Status matches completed by June 30th, 2016 are valid until March 31st, 2017. Thank you.
As noted above, readers have reported matching IHG Platinum to Hilton Diamond. This route to top-tier status at Hilton is particularly enticing as IHG Rewards Club Select cardmembers automatically get IHG Platinum elite status.
Not yet a IHG cardmember? You’re in luck! The IHG Rewards Club Select card has a newly increased 70,000 point sign-up bonus after you spend $2,000 in the first three months. You still have time to receive status with the card, complete one eligible stay and match to Hilton HHonors by June 30.
