If I sign up for this offer in November but finish the 4th stay in January will I keep Gold status till end 2014 or 2015?
That is a good question. I am not sure whether it goes by the signing date or by the completion one.
Oh ok. 🙁
Thanks for the response anyway. 🙂
From their T&C :
“Once a member reaches Gold status, the Member may
keep such status for the calendar year in which the Gold status was earned and the subsequent calendar year.”
Thus it counts from the moment the GOLD level is achieved; If in January/14 then it goes all the way to 2015.
Thank you John… Cheers
You are right. I should have read the T&C’s more carefully that I posted above.
So if i’m staying one night (two days) and after a week another one night in the SAME HOTEL – will it be as TWO Stays ??
I can go almost every Friday for ONE Night and Acheive the 4 Stays in less than Two month (for (Gold card )??
You should be good through 2015 (actually probably through March 2016). I did this at the end of 2012 and purposely made my 4th stay in January 2013. My Gold status is good through March 2015 according to the card Hilton sent me.
Looks like I mixed up which hotel group sent me a new card after I completed their Gold challenge. New card from Marriott not Hilton, or at least I cannot find my Hilton card. I still think my Hilton Gold status is through 2015 (after completing a challenge started in 2012 in 2013) based on the T&Cs. I can’t tell anything from my account except the tracker says my 2014 status “would” be blue based on my stays. If your tracker is saying your status in 2014 “will” be whatever (not Gold) based on your stays, then my account is chiding me a bit but telling me I will still be Gold for 2014.
So, if you reach Gold in Jan of 14 (after 4th stay), could you have an additional 10 stays and become Diamond? (10 additional stays needed to get to diamond from gold)
You need to get the 30 stays or the nights in.
Just signed up, thanks very much John!
hmm, i just tried to sign up and my status still says blue? maybe it’s dead?
At least it is still working for existing accounts. Just upgraded one old account.
Hi John, If I have an old account that I just opened, how would I go to upgrade this account from blue to silver? thanks for your help
Signed up, but got only Blue 🙁
I just checked with a dormant old account and it did get upgraded to Silver status instantaneously.
Can I check-in and check-out everyday during my four night stay at Hilton to get the gold card in this promotion?
Same hotel & four consecutive nights will only be one stay. You need to switch between hotels.
Worked. Account showing silver status.
Does this work for current Gold members whose status is about to expire in 2014? Also, I would hate to sign up then be downgraded to silver due to some system error.
There are other fast track offers for Gold status for four stays within 90 days after signing up. This is different as it comes with instant Silver status.
Hi John.
Could you please give a link for the existing Gold members (exp MAR-2014) ? I would like to keep the status without a downgrade.
And another question. If my account expires at March,2014 , am I eligible for Gold perks when I stay at Hiltons in March?
Thank you very much.
You cannot do the fast track before you are downgraded to Gold. What does it say on your card? Likely at the end of the month.
Worked for me. Show silver after login. Do reward stays count towards fast track?
Award stays are qualifying stays for status purpose but not for most of the promotions. I have no personal experience with award stays and fast tracks.
For those of you that were new customers, I didn’t immediately get Silver status when signing up (even after logging out and back in). So I followed the link again and used the existing member option, and hey presto, silver status now!
Thanks for the tip!
Existing Blue member with 1 stay short of Silver. Registered for this program but status still showed as Blue.
Am I not eligible?
Once you have successfully sign up it should show the lowered stay requirement towards the Gold status on that status bar.
Worked. Thank you John. I have a question though…The HH website does not mention the complimentary breakfast on either Gold or Diamond status ? Is that a fact or it depends on the hotel staff ?
Thanks!
It is certainly there somewhere in the T&C’s.
I’m getting an error
‘WE’RE SORRY!
AN ERROR OCCURRED PROCESSING YOUR REQUEST.No Landing Page Specified’
Seems that Hilton may be experiencing website issues OR this fast track offer has been retired.
Try this.

Thanks! I have updated the link above now and couple of other offers as well. It is unbelievable that Hilton changes their link structure without doing proper redirects from old ones.
Signed up for the offer and got silver status instantly.
When I look closely at the current status, however, it shows silver but still mentions that I need 20 more stays or 40 nights to reach gold status.
Strangely, the status bar shows my current status as blue.
Anyone seeing the same issue? Did my registration go through successfully?
Did you use the existing member option? If not, try again now that you have an account.
Initially did not.. I was not a Hilton HHonors member before and used the “enroll now” link on the accenture offer page to signup and register for the promotion after but seems like it’s not working fully for some reason. Had to create a new account separately and signed up for the offer as an existing member. Works now =) Thanks for your help. Loyaltylobby rocks. Now to find 4 stays in the next 90 days….
Is there a way for Hilton to know if I’m a employee of that entity or not? Will I be able to use it IF I’m not? Thx!!
They don’t require you to sign up or confirm with an Accenture email address, so don’t think that there is a lot that they can do.
Quick question. I have 4 rooms booked at one hotel for the same night (booked on behalf of family members for family reunion). ALL rooms are under my name. Will all four of these rooms qualify towards the 4 stays for this fast-track offer?
Only one. Starwood gives you stay/night credit for up to three rooms at a time.
No, just 1 stay.
I signed up and it reset me to Silver with 4 Stays need to reach gold (I was already silver)
– After my fist stay my status changed to 3 stays to gold.
– I stayed 3 more times since and my status still says 3 stays to gold.
Advice anyone??
Did it eventually updated your status to Gold? If you read the comments, it is probably best to start with a new account and merge your existing account to the new Gold one.
I have a question? I signed up for this promo (it worked thanks) I have a long stay planned this month for (21 days) is that enough to get bumped up to gold ?!
This promo is based on STAYS and not on NIGHTS. Won’t do anything for you.
Not working anymore. I get this error message “Error while processing: ACCENTURE HTML was not returned for the page.”
Not anyone can sign up, I get an error…
