Hilton Honors / Delta Status Match Promotion (targeted)

Hilton and Delta have been exploring a deeper partnership over the last year or so, including a decent promotion on Hilton stays and a crappy one on Delta flights. Now, there’s a new opportunity for Delta Elite status that’s available to some Hilton Honors members, where you get Delta Silver or Gold for 6 months, as well as a fast track offer to keep that status through January 31, 2026.

This promotion is being sent out via e-mail, but there’s also a link below where you can check to see if you’re targeted.

The Deal

• Targeted Hilton Honors members can get Delta Silver or Gold for 6 months through a new status match promotion.
• You can keep the matched status through January of 2026 by completing the following:
  • Silver: $2K MQDs (Medallion Qualifying Dollars) during the 6-month promo period
  • Gold: $4K MQDs during the 6-month promo period.

Quick Thoughts

This is another interesting expansion of Delta and Hilton’s mutual dalliance. Both offered Delta Statuses aren’t necessarily top-of-the-line, but if you’re targeted and have Delta travel planned within the next six months it could save you a bundle on bag and same-day change fees. You might even get a Comfort+ upgrade or two out of the deal.

Note that the terms say that you must have received an e-mail with this offer, but then go on to give a public landing page where you enroll. If you’re able to enroll on that page, it’s almost certain that you’re targeted, regardless of whether or not you received an e-mail.
