Diamonds, though, will get priority and will be answered in the shortest amount of time. So that, "Your expected hold time is 3 minutes" for a Gold may actually turn into 7 minutes if Diamonds are calling in

Or, maybe it means Chisholm handles the day calls and Cincinnati the night calls? I have no info on the Cincinnati call center as I've never called it. The Chisholm call center closes at 9 or 10pm CT daily, at which point most elite calls are routed to the Seattle call center.

Actually Rob, I think the Plats will be routed to the "regular" call center. The literature says Plat gets the "Highest Priority" and then Diamond gets the VIP Line. I read this to mean the regular call center will handle all calls except Diamond with Plats, Golds, and Silvers going to the front of the Que in that order. I believe Diamonds will have a separate number to Chisholm.

Silver Elite: Priority
Gold Elite: Higher Priority
Platinum: Highest Priority
Diamond: VIP Line
