Good Hilton for Business status offer – get Diamond for 10 nights

Hilton has launched a good promotion to earn Diamond status for anyone who is a member of the ‘Hilton for Business’ scheme.

You will be upgraded to Diamond status in Hilton Honors – the top tier – if you stay 10 nights on a ‘Hilton for Business’ rate by 15th December.

Since the ‘Hilton for Business’ rate is usually 2% cheaper than standard flex, semi-flex and non-refundable rates, it’s an easy offer to take up. Click here to learn more.

How does the offer work?

It’s simple enough, as long as you are in ‘Hilton for Business’ (which I will cover again below):

• you don’t need to register, according to the small print

• complete 10 nights booked at one of the ‘Hilton for Business’ cash rates by 15th December

• you will be upgraded to top tier Diamond status until 31st March 2027

The key benefit of Diamond over Gold is executive lounge access, at hotels which have a lounge. The full list of benefits is here.

If you ALREADY have Diamond status in Hilton Honors, you CANNOT use this promotion to get your membership extended for a further year.

This offer is not just for account heads. You can also take part if you are a member of a Hilton for Business account managed by someone else.

How does ‘Hilton for Business’ work?

Here’s a reminder of how it works. There is a 7,500 Hilton Honors points bonus for the account head after the first stay which should stack with this promotion.

You can learn more about ‘Hilton for Business’, and sign up, here.

This is what you need to know:

• when you sign up your small business, you are asked for your existing Hilton Honors account details. Your ‘Hilton for Business’ account is linked to this.

• the only requirement for joining is that you have a business email address which you must verify by clicking a link in a test email sent to you. There is no requirement to provide a company registration or VAT number. You MUST have a unique email suffix (eg ‘headforpoints.com’ in our case). It is NOT essential that the address on the Hilton Honors account has this suffix.

• once you have signed up, you receive a link to send to co-workers. By clicking the link, they can join your ‘Hilton for Business’ account and link it to their existing Hilton Honors account.

That’s it!

Going forward, when you or your co-workers log in to the Hilton website, they will be given the choice of whether they want to see ‘Hilton for Business’ rates as well as standard rates.

This is what you see on hilton.com:

The guest receives their Hilton Honors points and elite night credit as usual. This is important – the person who stays is not in any way worse off by using ‘Hilton for Business’.

On top of this, additional points are accumulated in the ‘Hilton for Business’ acccount:

• 7,500 Hilton Honors points (worth £25 on our Hilton Honors points valuation) are earned after the first stay is made under the ‘Hilton for Business’ rate (first stay per account, not per person on the account)

• 5,000 Hilton Honors points (worth £17 on our valuation) are earned for every 10 nights booked in aggregate by employees using the ‘Hilton for Business’ rate

The person who set up the ‘Hilton for Business’ account decides what to do with these points. You can transfer them to your own Hilton Honors account or you can transfer them to one of your registered employees.

Conclusion

If you are part of a ‘Hilton for Business’ account, this is an interesting opportunity to earn Diamond status for 2026.

You can see full details on this page of the Hilton website.

PS. If you are not able to join ‘Hilton for Business’, Hilton has a status challenge for anyone with top tier status in another hotel scheme. This HfP article explains how you can get Diamond by completing 14 nights within 90 days.
