I got a Hilton Gold offer, from me being AA platinum 2 yrs ago. Because of that I stayed Hilton and am now Diamond. I know those are yearly, or seasonal marketing strategies, but in my experience, many companies will match your frequent loyalty status at others, since it shows your potential to spend money at their company! Send a fax with travel history to the customer service number explaining that you are looking for a consistent hotel partner to compliment your travels (check the many threads of FT for phone numbers) .... you will not be disappointed!
