Hilton Honors made a one-time Diamond status extension part of the program in 2018 and has started to take requests for 2020.

Members that already know that they won’t requalify for Diamond status in 2019 can fill in their information, and Hilton will then send the invitation when the program is active for 2020.

Here are the requirements for requesting the one-time extension:

Minimum three years of Diamond status (don’t need to be consecutive)

AND

250 nights (both paid and awards qualify) or 500,000 base points since joining Hilton Honors

Conclusion

This is an excellent program for those that may not be eligible for the status in one year due to lowered travel needs, and Hilton doesn’t care about the reason. You should only use it when you need it, though.
