Free Hilton HHonors Silver - immediate status (and Gold after 4 stays)

Fancy yourself as the a GoldMember???

In March this year, I had posted about a slightly twisted way to get HHonors Gold status - you can find that post here. From my statistics, I see this was one of the most read posts on this blog. Sadly, in July/August this year, this promotion was withdrawn (not sure why, though). Thankfully, there is a phoenix rising again, at least to some extent!

Earlier today, AJ from Live From a Lounge wrote about Instant Hilton HHonors Silver & Gold after 4 stays. Hat tip to AJ !!!

Now, free Silver, and Gold in 4 stays? That's virtually Hilton handing it over on a platter! Mind you, that's easy pickings, considering that normally, getting to Gold involves 20 stays, 40 nights or 75,000 HHonors base points.

The promotion is targeted at employees of Accenture, but there is nothing to stop you from signing up using this link (though you must consider yourself warned: any misuse of privileges or falsified information in obtaining a deal could well leave you stripped off all the points you have - past or under the present offer).

Here's the link to the landing page for this offer.

HHonors Silver normally requires 4 stays or 10 nights. Here are the benefits for HHonors Silver status: 

  • 15% bonus HHonors points
  • 5th night free on redemption of points
  • Some hotel benefits (late check out, spouse stays free, etc)
  • Complimentary Health club access
  • Complimentary water
HHonors Gold normally requires 20 stays, 40 nights or 75k points (as mentioned above). Benefits include:

  • 25% bonus HHonors points
  • all benefits of Silver tier
  • Complimentary high-speed internet access at select properties / brands (I really value this one!)
  • One or more of room upgrades, additional points, complimentary breakfast / snacks, depending on the property / brand of stay

PS: I *do* love Austin Powers !

    Review: Le Meridien Etoile, Paris

    Image
    I checked out of the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile yesterday morning, and checked into the Le Meridien Etoile, just around the corner from the Hyatt, in the evening after a day's sightseeing. Hyatt was kind enough to hold my bags for the duration of the day (which is a surprise in today's world of terror threats), and I'm grateful to them for that. The Le Meridien has standard and chic rooms as two of their base category rooms. As I mentioned in the introduction post, I booked a chic room on an award. Here's a review of the hotel and room, but not breakfast (that didn't come with the room, and we planned to head to the airport a little early in any case).

    Kolkata's new terminal, and what a relief! (And lots of pictures)

    Image
    For the longest time, Kolkata (CCU) had pathetic terminals – both for domestic and international flights – and it was high time they did something about it. Now, the Airports Authority of India must be complimented on the new Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport. The airport is really fresh, swanky, and actually makes the flying experience in and out of CCU a whole lot better. The new terminal is an integrated terminal for domestic and international flights, and set out in an wide “V” with unequal arms, the longer arm being the domestic side. The terminal building itself is at one end of the runway, and is to the right of the old terminal, when viewed from the city side (left from airside). This picture, courtesy Wikipedia, shows it quite clearly. I flew in on SG 323 ( trip report here ), and on reaching CCU, we parked at the apron, though sufficient aerobridges appeared available. Cost cutting I suppose. The bus then took us to the terminal building, and this is what greet...

    Defunct airlines of India - Part 1

    Image
    ASan and I met for lunch over the weekend. If you knew us personally, you'd know that we're both forever thirsty, if you get my meaning. You'd also know that there are always discussions around ideas for posts. Most of them are flights of fancy (pun intended!), and almost always unviable. But two men with some alcohol in them can dream, can't they? Anyway, this time the discussion finally got down to something that interests both of us, though in very different ways. ASan is a bit of a history freak, getting dreamy and bleary-eyed when you talk of anything 20 years or older (he thinks he’d have fit better into society a hundred years ago, than now). And I'm an AvGeek to the core and a huge  fan of REG Davies. So when the talk finally came around to Indian airline companies that used to be, we hit paydirt! After some decent and serious research, we think we've come up with our own Indian Aviation History 101. Given the volume there is to share, we’ll be splitting...
