We love Hilton Gold status, and so have always pushed our readers to make use of the various Hilton Gold fast-track options to achieve this status.
The instant Silver/fast-track Gold option currently available is technically limited to Accenture employees, so many are understandably reluctant/unable to use this one. However, a far more generic one has now been made available from FCM Travel Solutions, joining the somewhat generic “MVP” fast-track option as a guilt-free way to get fast-tracked Hilton Gold status.
The Hilton Gold fast track scheme will grant you Gold status if you make four stays at a Hilton hotel within 90 days of signing up for the offer.
The benefits of Gold status are substantial, including all the silver benefits above (except for a 25% rather than 15% points bonus), plus
- 25% bonus on base points earned
- 5th night free on award stays (paid for with points)
- Late check-out
- Complimentary fitness center & health club access
- Free bottled water
- Free breakfast
- Guaranteed room upgrade
- Frequent free upgrades to Executive rooms (with Executive Lounge access), regardless of the room purchased
- Free internet access
Note that there may be an even easier way for you to achieve Hilton status! If you have status with another hotel loyalty scheme, don’t forget about the very straightforward Hilton status match, currently running until 30 June 2016.
Hi do reward nights count ?
They do. This is one of the great things about Hilton HHonors – reward stays count towards elite status.
Indeed it’s another reason why the Category 1 hotels at 5,000 points a night (and indeed the Category 2 hotels at 10k points a night) are such great value. Not only are you getting a low cost reward night, but it’s also counting towards your status.
