Yes, of course they do.  You'll get a pack with new card etc.  Will also be online with your velocity account, but there is a lag of about a week from memory.

Congrats!

You can review your status on the velocity website, which is the fastest way to communicate your upgrade.

However in my experience there isn't anything personal about the process (i.e. phone call, email etc.) instead you will receive your platinum pack in the mail.

Hey Mate, 


Let me start off by saying CONGRATS! Ok so if you wanted the process to speed up a little and you have already earn the SC's you can give Velocity a call and they will amend it immediately for you but if you are in no hurry you can just wait. Since I am an impatient person I would call them :)

Enjoy the benefits mate!

Should already be on your account online,mine was immediately changed. Its just the current situation if being slow to add points and SC's which is frustrating. Enjoy the perks,diamond with Hilton is pretty sweet.

I agree that Hilton Diamond is good, but it is only for one year and then you have to accrue status with Hilton to maintain diamond, otherwise you will end up losing it (even if you requalify for platinum with VA).

I have always had mine carry on with Hhonors,had diamond for 2 years now and its just last week ticked over into a 3rd year.

How is that abnormal? What were you expecting, Diamond for every year you have platinum? Hardly sustainable.
