Hilton Honors has launched new Gold fast track offer that requires 4 stays within 90 days of registering for this offer.
This version is targeted for Amex Global Business Travelers but these offers have been open for all. If you complete the fast track offer, the Gold status is then valid through March 2019.
You can access this offer on Hilton’s website here.

Note that paid, Points + Money (partially paid by points) and full point stays all count towards completing the challenge.
Hilton Honors also offers separate Gold & Diamond status match challenge that I have written several times this year. You can learn more about this program here.
Conclusion
Hilton Honors Gold is a worthwhile status (room upgrades, bonus points, executive lounge access often, and breakfast) and is relatively easy to get using one of the fast track offers out there.
Here are the terms and conditions of this fast track offer:
How is this open to all when the terms are booking through a designated booking tool ? Or approved travel proffessional.
All qualifying stays have counted towards these challenges. You can book on any direct booking method.
I booked my stays on Hilton.com (or HHonors.com) and got upgraded to Gold after four of them.
Thank you for the response, did you have to book using an Amex card? As this is for American Express business travellers
No, I don’t even own AmEx.
How long have we got to register for this fast track?
Do you get an instant Gold status just after registration for these 90 days?
Do you get instant Gold status for these 90 days?
It is after you have had the qualified stays,
It’s not “instant” – I got my Gold status 48 hours upon checkout from Hotel # 4.
Just kidding! Thank you for the tip, John.
Anyone know if an existing Gold member can use these fast-track deals to extend their Gold status? I wouldn’t make the standard Gold minimum number of stays this year, but 4 stays are definitely in my plans.
So, for those who may be interested, I signed up for this fast-track deal and just completed my first of four stays under the deal. While parts of my Honors account say I need to complete over 30 nights to remain Gold, the site’s Elite Status Progres section and the mobile app both indicate only 3 more stays are required (even though I’ve only had 4 stays thus far this year). I’ll take that to be a good sign.
Then what happened? It got extended?
Too soon to know. I’ve only completed my first of four stays. Second and third stays will be coming within the next few weeks. Fourth stay has yet to be planned. 🙂
I contacted them about this today – they told me it ended in June
Do I have to stay at Hilton hotel only or any kind of properties of Hilton Company?
Just an update – this still works and after recently losing Gold status, this has reinstated me until 2019. Thanks for the heads up John.
How do I know if this offer is still active / works?
I registered, it said the registration was successful, however on my HHonors profile I can’t see any sign of it, it shows I still need the regular amount of nights to achieve gold status.
After registration am I supposed to see a change in my profile / status bar?
Thanks
Does is still work?
