Hilton offering status matches for 2016, including to Diamond!

More on the way Andrew! - I should have the a post out by tomorrow hopefully

 

What's the easiest way of getting gold upgraded from silver status to run to end of Mar 18?

 

I stayed at the Leopold Hotel in Sheffield a week last Sunday so here are my thoughts. The hotel is in the city centre with major chains only a few steps away. After checking-in I was escorted to my room and shown what it had to offer. I was brought a complimentary drink from the bar as well as two chocolate cakes. I found a personalised SLH welcome letter on the desk and a free SLH luggage tag.

I was in room 185, which is on the top floor. It's large with one double bed and two singles. There's a desk, a separate table, a sofa, air con (quiet), a fridge with complimentary still and sparkling water, and an espresso machine. The bathroom was large and offered plenty of toiletries including shaving kits and shower caps. Also a dressing gown and slippers.

Sometimes I have stayed in hotels where I can't get the water to run hot enough but here I had the reverse in that I couldn't get the bath to run cold water (presumably because it had been running hot for ten minutes!).

There was a music festival going on at the time but the room was so high up I didn't hear a thing.

There was only one window in the room - a slanted one in the roof, so no view - but this didn't bother me.

Continental breakfast was free, and pleasant enough, although cereals were limited.

The free wifi was also fine. Not slow.

Overall, definitely worth it for £50-£60. A few days after my stay, SLH extended my 'Loved' status an extra year up to March 2018. I also qualified for some Avios but I don't know how many yet.

 

Oh nice!

 

do you get diamond with amex plat?

 

Nope 'just' Gold with the Plat.

 

I'm gold already but according to my account will be "member" in 2019. I've just applied for permanent gold via Amex plat, will I get gold extended until Mar 20 without the need to make any stays?

 

Certainly no stays required, but whether it all tracks and updates properly without a nudge or 2 is less certain.

 

cool!

 

Hii

Are Hyatt still offering the match service?
