If I have over 100,000 these hit in 2 separate transaction s. Is that normal?
Yes it is, you get blocks of 100,000 manually processed, the remainder up to 99,999 is automatic. Barclaycard themselves don’t seem to even know about this, so there’s no point calling about it, but they will turn up.
To add to the above question is there a spend tracker anywhere for the BC Hilton? I had a look but could not see one. And when you do hit the £10k what is the process and the timeline for your Hilton account to go gold?
No, there used to be many years ago, when the HH card had its own login page, but when it was incorporated into the main BC site it hasn’t had one.
The HH upgrade to gold is automatic, I don’t remember how long it takes as I’ve been Diamond for years now, but it’s fairly quick and you get gold for the remainder of your current year (to the next March) and all of the following year (to the following March).
Has anyone had issues this year with gold renewing? I spent around £100k on this card but received a message saying gold ends 30 March 2023? I have raised a ticket with Hilton.

Yes, this was discussed in another thread on here during the last week. We all seem to have the same issue…being threatened with Silver tier from the 1st April.
My wife and I are retaining our Gold membership but I think that’s probably a legacy benefit from having had the Amex Platinum card in the past.
I’m gold via the Barclaycard, my account on computer and app definitely says I have retained gold for 2023.
Wife and I have both retained gold too with HH card!
That reminds me, I have hit over 10k on the card, yet the Hilton page is saying I will downgrade to Silver on 1 April.
Any progress on the complaint?
Is there an easy way to hit £10k on that card? In the past you could have just top up Revlt, but now there are fees for that.. I put majority of spending through different cards now but wouldn’t mind getting gold again.
Curve can assist with this, if you don’t know about it you should search this site for information.

Many ways, but other than curve, and anything else openly discussed already, people will be keeping quiet because first rule of fight club.
I’m more than unhappy to disclose that while I go about my day to day spending using mainly Amex cards, my wife is more than happy running about at high speed putting £10,000+ annually on the Hilton Barclaycard! 🙄

Did you get this resolved as I am having the same issue?
Nah, all of us still facing the same issue of downgrading.
Just to add for completeness sake, I asked to reduce my credit limit amount on this card two years ago as it was a bit heady at the time. Anyway last year I tried to increase it again and was automatically refused. Have since requested it raised twice but both rejected instantly. I don’t think they know what to do with us but don’t want to let us go either.
Hi All
Anyone have a recent experience on hitting the 10k spend target and time to upgrade to Gold?Hi All
Anyone have a recent experience on hitting the 10k spend target and time to upgrade to Gold?This would require them to be
1) a HfP forum reader
2) who is so committed to the card they still hold it after all these years (therefore choosing to forego the chance to get the Barclays Avios bonus)
3) but not committed enough to hit the spend target in those previous years (and that’s surprisingly “sticky” when it arrives due to dodgy IT according to some accounts – so that means ever rather than last year)
4) and also doesn’t have Gold through any other means
5) but suddenly did manage to hit the target recentlyThat’s a pretty niche group, but this being the infinite expanse of the internet; who knows – there may be someone!
Hi All
Anyone have a recent experience on hitting the 10k spend target and time to upgrade to Gold?its calendar year 1jan to 31dec
if you have hit the target, expect it soon (call them to follow up)Mine just renews each year. OH has the avios card so I hung onto the HH and am glad I did so.
HH status runs from March to March but it seems to hang around a long time! Has anyone ever lost it, having got it from the Barclaycard or Amex Plat?

Yes, my wife took out the Hilton card in 2019 and became HH Gold from doing £10000 of curve cash withdrawals and some other manufactured spending.
Obtaining the status was unintentional and not really useful as all stays go through my Hilton account. We didn’t spend £10k on it in subsequent years and she was downgraded to Silver.
We still have the HH cards as we are not interested in the barclays avios cards. I will probably be downgraded to Silver in 12 days as I didn’t spend £10k last year and only had 3 Hilton stays. If I want to get gold again I will probably just pay the £150 to currensea
No Curve?!

It’s a good card to have and maybe people can get more than one. At one point I held the Hilton and IHG Barclaycards at the same time – then it was the Hilton, Freedom Rewards (ex IHG) and Platinum Cashback all in tandem.
However I wouldn’t be well qualified to answer as straight off the bat I was emptying the entire credit limit direct into NS&I every 8 days then when that well dried up, it became the way to pay off the Creation cards which meant hitting the spend target was a matter of a few clicks.
I got a “You’ve extended your Gold status” email in July one year then February the next, both said because I was a Hilton credit card holder – but in both years the spend target would have been reached a day or two after the card anniversary so it doesn’t make much sense. Plus it’s hard to tell due to getting that status from Amex Platinum…..

I must be in an even nicher group as I hold both the Avios Barclaycard and Hilton Barclaycard
