Air Miles: Double Miles & Fast Track to HHonors Gold Status on Hilton stays worldwide
– RewardsCanada.ca
A great offer for Air Miles members, which for all of you reading this you should already be a member of! The Double Miles are a nice normal type of bonus but the Fast Track to Gold is the what makes this a great offer. Hilton runs many ‘Fast Track to Gold’ offers (many of which you can find on our HHonors page) but these are targetted towards employees of certain companies although most people seem to have no issues with them even if they don’t work for that company. However you never know when and if Hilton will run an audit of accounts and find out that you don’t work for that company you’ll lose that Gold Status and more than likely have your account shut down with a loss of any points in the account. Since this offer is open to Air Miles members, it is basically open to any Canadian resident and you just have to complete 5 stays with Hilton by Jan 17 to get the status legitimately. Sure you’ll have to earn Air Miles on those 5 stays instead of another Aeroplan program or more HHonors Points if you are on the Points+Points option but it is a small sacrifice to make to earn the Gold Status…
