Hilton Diamond Status Extension
Hilton Diamond status comes with certain on-property benefits. These vary by brand and may include a space-available room upgrade, bonus points, complimentary continental breakfast (non-U.S. only), Daily Food & Beverage Credit (U.S. only), and more. But if you have Diamond status and didn’t requalify, Hilton might grant you a 12-month extension.
This year Hilton has brought back its Diamond status extension offer. Members who meet certain criteria can extend their Diamond status for an additional year beyond when it would have otherwise expired, should they be unable to qualify for any reason.
The top-tier Hilton Honors status is also one of the easiest to achieve compared to other programs. You can get Hilton Diamond status just by having the Amex Hilton Aspire Card, or by spending $40,000 with the Amex Hilton Surpass and Hilton Business cards.
But let’s get back to the details of this status extension offer, and see who qualifies.

- Your Diamond status expires on March 31, 2025.
