July 26 Update: Hiton HHonors Status Match/Challenge, finding more AIR MILES reward options and more

News, Tips & Tricks

At the end of June the awesome Hilton HHonors status
match offer came to an end. The good news is that it is back but the
bad news is that they made it a little tougher. Now when you sign up for
it you will only get status for 90 days rather than the full year and
half or so to March 2018. You can still get the full status to March
2018 but it requires you to complete four Hilton stays within that first
90 days of this offer. So not as good as before but still better than
nothing if you missed out previously. Find out more here!
