Hilton HHonors – free instant Silver status + fast track to Gold
Hilton HHonors recently relaunched a Gold status fast-track offer, that also gives you free instant Silver status.
To gain Silver status you simply need to enter your HHonors details (or sign up if you are not already a member) here.
Silver status benefits are as follows:
- 15% bonus on base points earned
- 5th night free on awards
- Late check-out
- Complimentary fitness center & health club access
- Free bottled water
As you will see, the offer is specifically targeted at Accenture employees, but it works for anyone. If you’re in any way uncomfortable with that, you can sign up via the “valued partner” link here. That will get you the Gold fast-track, but not instant Silver.
Perhaps more interestingly, you will also automatically be enrolled in the Gold Status fast-track scheme, which will grant you Gold status if you make four stays at a Hilton hotel within 90 days of signing up for this offer.
The benefits of Gold status are substantial, including all the silver benefits above (except for a 25% rather than 15% points bonus), plus:
- Free breakfast
- Guaranteed room upgrade
- Frequent upgrades to Executive rooms (with Executive Lounge access), regardless of the room purchased
- Free internet access
Note that all our Hilton deals (including all currently available Hilton promo codes) are flagged on our dedicated page here, sorted by region.

I just entered my details but my status is still on blue
If you do the 4 stays to hit gold, when does the status expire?
I have a blog post for that…

In short, you’ll get the Gold status for:
– the rest of the year in which you earn it
– ALL of the following calendar year
– until March 31 of the next year.
This is why the fast track can be so good. Nail it in January and you have Gold status for over 2 years.
just to be on the safe side: 4 stays is not the same as 4 nights correct?
You are correct.
A “stay” is any number of consecutive nights.
Thx much for this information. Do 4 stays paid for with rewards points qualify for the Gold Status?
Yes – Hilton reward stays count for status qualification. Per the HHonors terms and conditions:
For purposes of counting stays and nights for Elite tier qualification, Reward Stays will count towards the number of overall stays and nights.
