You’re welcome. Are you in that position where you could take advantage of this extension?
My husband is now a retired road warrior. He has been a Diamond member with Hilton for over twelve years. We have Diamond status for the remainder of 2018 but when he applied for an extension was told he could only get it through March 2019. Be aware it is not for the whole year! Very disappointed!
Yep and that’s exactly how the entry was written, “Diamond Status status extensions that are approved could be extended through March 31, 2019.”
