Hilton Honors members will soon track their progress toward Lifetime Diamond status directly inside the mobile app, pointsmag.com reported.
Brad Anderson, Vice President of Hilton Honors, announced the upcoming feature on Thursday at a loyalty event in London. Hilton plans to roll out the addition by the end of 2026. Members previously had to contact customer service by phone or email to check their nights and Diamond years.
Qualifying for the lifetime tier requires ten years of Diamond status, which do not need to be consecutive.
Members must also accumulate either 1,000 nights across Hilton brands or 200,000 US dollars in spend, according to pointsmag.com. Only full calendar years with Diamond status count toward the ten-year requirement. A member reaching Diamond status in April 2027 retains it for the rest of that year and 2028, but only 2028 counts toward the lifetime total.
Hilton Honors introduced a 200,000 US-dollar spend alternative to the 1,000 nights requirement in January 2026. The program previously required two million base points, which equated to the same 200,000 US-dollar spend given the earning rate of ten base points per dollar.
Hilton adjusted the metric because some budget-focused brands award only five base points per dollar, making total spend a fairer standard across the portfolio. Reaching the threshold over ten years averages about 20,000 US-dollar annual spend in Hilton properties.
Event attendees also received an exclusive preview of the future Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch near Trafalgar Square. The property will open in the spring of 2027 with more than 100 rooms and suites, pointsmag.com reported.
Hilton has not yet announced the exact launch date for the app tracking feature or which specific data fields it will display.
