Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
A Hilton representative on Flyertalk has announced they are now performing status matches for elites from other programs. Here is how to request a match:
- Submit your request by January 11, 2016 to get status through March 2017.
- Send something that shows your elite tier in another program and send your HHonors number.
- Send the info to HHonorMyStatus@hilton.com.
Unclear Terms
At this point it is unclear what competitor statuses they are matching and what status that will gain you with Hilton. I do expect that this will be popular, so it may be wise to request a match sooner rather than later. Hopefully they will match to HHonors Diamond, but there is no guarantee of that at this point. We will have to wait and see!

I used IHGplatinum and they gave me Diamond!
Is this still valid? They matched me, but now my wife wants a match too.
Yes
Thanks!
Is it possible to use the new HHonors Diamond status to match at other hotel brands? We’d love Hyatt and SPG.
Hi,
Thanks for the information. I got a Diamond Elite Status today (I used IHG Spire to match).

Same for me. Used Spire Elite as well as Carlson Gold and they matched me to Diamond. And I was only a few purchases away from Gold on my HHonors card too.
@granthawaii: @HiltonHHonors what will Hyatt Diamond status be matched to? can you please check my match status. thx!
@HiltonHHonors: @granthawaii Hilton’s highest tier is Diamond. Please allow up to 5 business days for your status match to be processed. Thank you! MW
@granthawaii: @HiltonHHonors so Hyatt diamond is matched to Hilton Diamond?
@ConradHotels: @granthawaii We appreciate the inquiry. Yes, you are correct in that HHonors will match Diamond status with this program. Thank you.

Thanks for the info. I missed getting in on the Hyatt. They had so many responses the offer was cut off.
Got my requests for this one in last night.
[…] Via Frequent Miler Hilton is offering status matches. Perhaps they were inspired by Hyatt going hog wild giving away status on twitter a week ago.
