January 24th Update: Looks like this offer is dead, will update if this changes again
January 9th Update: Thanks to the first commenter below who clarified it more than likely won’t work with a Canadian Infinite card but you can try using 442394 which did work for me
Gary Leff of View From the Wing posted this offer over the Christmas break about free Hilton Gold Status for Visa Infinite Card holders. Since there are lots of Infinite cards in Canada (RBC Avion, CIBC Aerogold & Aventura, TD First Class) this offer should work for many of you. Since I actually don’t have an Infinite version and I wanted to make sure this offer was still alive I heeded Gary’s advice and used the first 6 digits from a bank issuer (you can google these or see Gary’s post for a working number) and received Instant Hilton Gold Status at 2:15pm MST on January 4th. So at this point this offer is still valid but just like other ‘Instant Elite Status’ offers out there it can disappear at anytime so be sure to take advantage of it sooner then later.
The offer also comes with 40,000 Bonus HHonors Points if you complete four qualifying stays at any participating hotel and resort in the Hilton Worldwide portfolio by 31 May 2012 and pay with your Visa Infinite card
