UPDATE: Hilton Honors Instant Silver Status Sign Up Through December 31, 2018

Last week, I wrote about new Hilton Honors promotion offering instant Silver status for American Express Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Ascent credit card members. I can not confirm that this offer is indeed open for everyone (at least for new accounts).

Hilton Honors Silver status usually requires four stays or ten nights consumed within calendar year.

You can access this offer on Hilton’s website here.

And here’s the outcome:

So, I made the test at the time of writing the piece and signed up for an account and Hilton Honors emailed earlier this week about the latest promotion. The account status was indeed SILVER.

Conclusion

As I thought to be the case when I wrote the original piece, there doesn’t seem to be any verification behind to ensure that only eligible credit card holders would successfully sign up for this offer.

Here are the terms and conditions of this promotion:

Offer is valid for eligible American Express® Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Ascend Credit Card Members (Primary/Principal Card Members only).

Offer is available only to American Express® Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Ascend Credit Card Members who enrol during the Promotion Period and is not transferable. Limit of one registration or enrolment per American Express Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Ascend Credit Card Member. Once a member reaches Hilton Honors Silver status, the member may keep such status only for the calendar year in which the Hilton Honors Silver Status was earned and the subsequent calendar year.
