As a reminder, Hilton status match is still open for those who haven’t submitted for it yet. I was matched to Hilton Diamond back in November. I went ahead and resubmitted for it for the current status match through March 2018, but haven’t heard back. Several other readers have experienced the same. As previously posted….Hilton really wants to match your status because they are back with another offer to status match! Since Thanksgiving, this is about the 3rd time that this offer has come around. If you missed those opportunities, check out this one now where you can match your status to Hilton. This time your Hilton HHonors elite tier status will be valid through March 2018!

Bottom Line

I applied for the status match a couple of weeks ago. How long would you advise waiting, and how would you think would be the best way to find out what’s happening with the match status?
It should be fairly quick. I emailed a copy of my IHG Spire Ambassador statement and a photo of my card on a Monday in 48 hours I received an email congratulating my for my Diamond status. In my experience it should not take that long. I would call and follow up.
