Hilton HHonors has now extended the Gold fast track offer for Etihad Guest members as well that comes with instant Gold status.
All you need to do is to register for this instant Gold that is valid until October 31, 2015, and have three stays during the period to keep it through March 2017.
Note that there is no landing page for this offer on Hilton.com. You can access web page for status related benefits here.

You can also earn double miles for your second stay, triple miles for your third stays and quadruple miles for your fourth stay during the promo period. Note that you must have your Hilton HHonors Double Dip option set to Points + Miles and have Etihad Guest selected as the preferred partner.
Conclusion
There must be soon close to ten airlines with whom Hilton has this same offer going on. All the other offers are targeted besides the Airberlin one that you can read more about here.
I have considered the Hilton HHonors Gold to be the most valuable of the mid status levels that comes with complimentary breakfast and/or lounge access, room upgrades and bonus points.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
Offer valid for the recipient of this email only and is non-transferable.

Please quote the Hilton HHonors Trial Gold Offer’. Recipients may receive offer emails from multiple airlines, however, only the first enrolment will be valid with HHonors and all subsequent enrolments will be void.
To receive HHonors Gold status through 31st March, 2017, complete three stays between 7th July and 31st October, 2015 (“the Promotion Period”).
