For challenge products, the stated delivery time refers to challenge enrollment or access—not completion of the required stays, nights, flights or spend. Final tier activation depends on the client meeting the applicable program terms. Restricted employee, family and friends rate programs are shown only as authorized eligibility/setup cases; access cannot be sold, transferred or created for an ineligible user. Eligibility, processing time and outcomes vary by account and program conditions.

Questions clients usually ask first.
Is the initial assessment free?
Yes. The initial review is free. No payment is required until you receive the proposed route, requirements, estimated timeline, pricing and service terms.
Is every case guaranteed?
No. Eligibility, approval and final account decisions remain subject to the relevant loyalty program. We explain material limitations before you proceed.
Do you need my account password?
We do not request your password during the initial assessment. Whenever possible, sensitive account actions should be completed by you directly. Never submit passwords through this website form.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary by program, route and individual circumstances. You will receive an estimated timeline after your case is reviewed.
Are you affiliated with Marriott, Hilton or any airline?
UpgradeGuru is an independent travel status advisory service unless explicitly stated otherwise. Brand names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
What information should I send first?
Your program, current tier, target tier, country or region and approximate travel date are normally sufficient for an initial review. Do not send passwords, complete payment details or unmasked identity documents unless a legitimate need is clearly explained.
