Hilton Announces Elite Status Extension

Hilton Elite Status Extension

Hilton has announced today that it will extend elite status for all members due to the coronavirus outbreak. Additionally the hotel chain is suspending points expiration and extending free night certificates. Let’s take a look at the details.

Elite Status

  • 2019 Status Extension. All members whose 2019 status was scheduled to be downgraded on March 31, 2020—whether it’s Diamond, Gold or Silver—will automatically receive an extension through March 31, 2021.
  • 2020 Status Extension. We are extending your 2020 member status through March 31, 2022. This means you will continue to enjoy all the Diamond, Gold or Silver benefits you have access to today for the next 24 months.

Points Expiration

We will pause the expiration of all Points scheduled to expire between now and December 31, 2020.

Free Night Certificates

We have extended the expiration date of all unexpired Weekend Night Rewards as of March 11, 2020, and all new ones issued until August 30, 2020, through the end of next summer (August 31, 2021).

Booking Flexibility

  • Existing Reservations. All reservations—even those described as “non-cancellable” (“Advanced Purchase”)—that are scheduled for arrival on or before June 30, 2020 can be changed or cancelled at no charge, up to 24 hours before your scheduled arrival day.
  • New Reservations. Any reservations you make—even those described as “non-cancellable” (“Advanced Purchase”)—that are booked between today and June 30, 2020 for any future arrival date can be changed or cancelled at no charge, up to 24 hours before your scheduled arrival day.

If you need to adjust reservations made via the Hilton website, app or call center, you can change your reservation here or contact the Hilton Guest Assistance team. If you need to adjust reservations made through another travel site, please contact them for assistance.

Conclusion

It’s great to see Hilton making these changes for everyone. Hopefully other hotels follow. This announcement should be sent out by email today, if you haven’t received it yet.

  1. Oh good cause I was just going to go ahead and redeem all my hilton points for .0020 cents per point at amazon. This convinces me to hold off for a bit.

  2. I doubt it, but would this work for Amex Hilton card holders as well? I think those people don’t have a status expiration date but it is connected to the account being open, correct? Otherwise people could all cancel their Aspire cards and still keep Diamond status until 2022.
