Seemingly targeted offer for Hilton HHonors Gold (plus add-on benefits)
I received from Etihad (and some of the members of the Etihad Airways Partners), what appears to be a targeted offer offering instant Hilton HHonors Gold status till 31 October 2015, as a trial. The more important part of this promotion is the incentive to keep that Hilton HHonors Gold status till March 2017, if you register for this promotion and complete 3 stays before 31 October 2015.
Have you received such offers? What's your take...worth it?
There's a customised link for each user, so the link I received is no longer available. However, as this promotion is being run by Hilton through several of its partners, don't be surprised to find an invitation for this promotion through a non-airline source (LoyaltyLobby reports on a publicly available link for LivingWell customers).
I signed up (I was HHonors Silver) and was instantly upgraded to Gold, and it reflected on my HHonors account.
In my opinion, this is a great offer if you can manage the 3 stays (they only need to be for a night each, at a minimum) before 31 October 2015. As a reminder, the benefits for HHonors Gold can be found here.
The offers from Etihad (and its partner airlines) includes a further benefit of between double to quadruple miles, depending on the number of stays, which makes this promotion completely worth it!
