Time for VA/Hilton status match to come through

I made VA Gold a few months ago and last week got around to activating my Gold membership with Hilton.

Does anybody have any reports of how long the status match takes to come through? I've got some bookings in about 10 days. Curious to see if I will get the Gold in time and hence the benefits.

I went to WP in january, elected Hilton diamond status as my bonus in February, but after no response from VA or Hilton, I emailed a week before Easter. Finally got diamond status last night. I’d suggest a phone call if you need the boost within 2 weeks.

In my experience with both getting Hilton Gold and diamond ,it doesn’t come through without calling va. but if you call before the 20 business days statutory waiting period they won’t action it with Hilton so I don’t think you’ll get it in time.

I too had to call VA after applying as it didn't come through for over a month.

Another for the call option - on both Hertz and IHG, then done within a few days.

I suggest you call them, highlight the time that already passed since you launched your application and ask them to fast track the process, given your upcoming stay. My gold membership with Hilton wasn't processed at all (VA said that they sent it to Hilton, Hilton confirmed that they never got it), and it took a number of phone calls, 6 weeks and a 4 nights stay at Double Tree in London with no status before VA were able to process this very simple perk.

Mine has taken six weeks, then matched to the wrong tier...
