About your upgrade

Your account will be upgraded within 20-25 business days of purchase.
How long will my Diamond Elite status be valid for?

After January 1, 2028, can I renew my status?
Yes. Your Diamond Elite status can be renewed on your existing account after it expires.
Am I guaranteed to receive all the posted benefits on every
hotel stay?
That depends! Room upgrades rely on space being available at the hotel, so you’ll receive an upgrade if complimentary room upgrades are available to status-holders.
You’ll always receive other perks, like free breakfast and late checkout, as long as you hold status.
Do you need my password to process my status?
No. Your password is not required to process your Diamond Elite status.

Please see our frequently asked questions page for more information.
What do I need to do to receive my status?

Completing a fixed number of stays or nights, or meeting any other challenge, to receive the upgrade is not required.
