    Over basic membership, Silver gives you 20% more points per night, two free bottles of water and you receive the 5th night free on Standard Room Rewards stays of 5 nights or more booked using Points.

  • Anyone tried buying Hilton diamond upgrade on ebay?

    • Friend of mine did it a few years back and it worked.

      • Cheers, they accepted my $130 offer. So I’ll see how it goes.

        • Hopefully it goes well. Would like to do it also next year

          • @Moondoggie: It worked.

            @Bm7at81 is right, I got an email saying they had status matched

            It’ll be worth it just for the club room access for 8-9 days.

        • You do realise you are just purchasing a trial right? It will be valid for 90 days and you’ll need to complete 8 separate stays over those 3 months.. this status challenge is offered for free directly through Hilton (https://statusmatch.hiltonhonors.com/) provided you have an equivalent level of status with a competing brand.

          So what you’re paying for is a middle man to dodgy up a screenshot with your details on it showing platinum etc on another hotel statement and then they will apply to Hilton directly using the link above on your behalf.. if you are half talented with photoshop you can do this yourself.. though I wouldn’t recommend as it’s against the T&Cs and your Diamond status could get pulled at anytime over the next 2 years if they cotton on.

          • @Bm7at81: Cheers, I was thinking it was 8 nights.

            We’ve got 4 “stays” in a few weeks in Asia, so access to the club room & free brekkie will pay for itself. And I believe that’ll give me Gold.

  • i guess two free bottles of water is better then nothing btw do you need to check in using same card to claim it?

    • no, your profile would be upgraded to silver and you can buy/check in with whatever card

      key benefit as jesseboy89 above mention is the 5th night free award (ie stay 5 pay for 4).

  • Just my 2 cents, but I wouldn’t bother with Hilton unless you are planning to routinely travel outside of Australia. I’m a Diamond member (achieved while working overseas) and actually choose to stay at other brands (I.e SPG) in Australia with NIL benefits as the hotel choices here are just rubbish.

  • Just ask the desk for complimentary water bottles.

  • If only they offer this to Platinum Edge
