Does anyone know yet if it will operate in reverse? So when my VA status drops from WP to SG in a few weeks, and my HH diamond (opted in in 2012) drops to blue, will I be able to opt in again as HH Gold?
You our get the option when you drop.

Yes, that is how I received the Gold option. Knowing I had the bookings to qualify VA WP in April I used the IHG beforehand.Does anyone know yet if it will operate in reverse?

It does operate in reverse. I opted in for Gold status in April 2013 so should have Gold status until March 2015.
Sweet! That VA status match has been the gift that keeps on giving.

I took the IHG option a couple of years ago. But now we are moving significant business to Hilton.
If your company is booking a lot of Hilton rooms, why don't you ask Hilton directly for a status match?
They do challenges only AFAIK
Would have been happy with a Challenge. If my HHonors request option was still available under my Velocity login that's what I would have got anyway. A bit disappointed on a flat refusal though. If they are keen to get VA members I would have that this would still be the case direct. I did send a copy of my card for verification. Oh well, will have to fight tooth and nail to stay in my current haunts.

Unfortunately did not work for me. My Velocity status has dropped to Gold but account page still says "opted in" - to HH Diamond in February 2012.

Perhaps they've fixed the 'loophole' then allowing double dipping...
