For a limited time, Visa Signature cardholders can get Gold Hilton HHonors status instantly by registering their card at www.hhonors.com/visasignature by August 31, 2011. If you’re not already an HHonors member, you’ll need to first join the program by visiting www.hhonors.com or calling 1-800-HHonors. If you also have 3 Hilton stays by August 31, 2011, you’ll extend your Gold membership through March 2013. After that time, you’ll need to fulfill the standard requirements to maintain your status.
