If you are a Hilton Honors Diamond member, you will soon receive in your email a special offer allowing you to gift status to the person of your choice:

• Lifetime Hilton Honors Diamond members can gift Hilton Honors Diamond status
• Other Hilton Honors Diamond members can gift Hilton Honors Gold status

No matter how many nights you stay this year.

The Hilton Honors Diamond status is normally reached after 30 stays or 60 nights or 120,000 base points earned in one calendar year. However, you can get it with a US credit card: Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card. The Hilton Honors Diamond status is part of its perks.

This credit card is recommended for those who have already started the US credit cards’ adventure.

For Hilton Honors Gold status, you can earn it after 20 stays or 40 nights or 75,000 base points earned in one calendar year. However, you can also get it as an American Express Platinum Cardmember (the current offer for this card is not attractive).

Hilton Honors Gold status offers a great benefit: complimentary breakfast at all Hilton hotels. This is a great way to save a lot of money, especially with a family, like during our stay in New Zealand at the Hilton Lake Taupo:
