Gifted Gold

[Fergies_army]

Hi all, I am currently Gold however won’t meet the number of nights to renew into next year.

My friend who is diamond has gifted me gold. If I redeem that now will it stack and run for the whole of next year or if apply the code now will it only run for now and expire 31st Aug?

Thanks in advance

My feeling is that it would run until March 2025, but I’ve never had it gifted. Is there any reason why it wouldn’t work the same as any other way of acquiring status?

bit of a tangent : Hilton emailed me today – i just have to register for the offer, then stay SIX nights between now and December 31st to earn Gold status for the next year ( Silver currently )

How long does a gifted status last for a Member who receives the gifted status?
The gifted status will last 365 days from the date the gift was applied to the recipient’s account. If a member receives Gold status and then is upgraded to Diamond status, the 365-day expiration period resets to the date the Diamond status was applied to the member’s account.

Example: If a member receives a gift of Gold status on June 1st, 2022, then the Gold status would expire on June 1st, 2023. If that same member was automatically upgraded to Diamond status on August 1st, 2022, then the Diamond status would expire on August 1st, 2023.

Can status be gifted to a current Gold or Diamond Member?
Status can be gifted to a current Gold or Diamond Member. If a member did not qualify to maintain their current Gold or Diamond status for the next calendar year, the gifted status will extend beyond the requalification period in April.

Example: If you are a current Gold member who achieved 10 nights in 2022 and you receive a gift of Gold status on August 1st, 2022, you would maintain Gold status until August 1st, 2023 instead of being downgraded to Silver status during the April requalification period.

What will happen once the gifted status period ends for the receiving Member?
After the gifted status expires, the recipient’s status will change to the tier status that they would have earned based on the member activity from the previous calendar year.

Example: If you were gifted Gold status on August 1st, 2022, and completed 7 qualifying nights in 2022, enough to qualify for Silver status in 2023, the downgrade to Silver status will be shown in your account on August 2nd, 2023.
