Just got this e-mail:
Dear DiverDave,
You may have recently received an email that prematurely announced you had reached Elite Diamond status. Unfortunately, during a programming maintenance procedure our communication system triggered this email by accident. We sincerely apologize for this error and for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused you.
In order for you to qualify for Elite Diamond status for 2010, you need to stay 6 additional nights at any Choice hotels before the end of 2009. Don't miss out on the benefits and services Elite Diamond status provides that can make your 2010 travel easier and more rewarding.
Now would be a great time to stay at our hotels and reach Elite Diamond status for 2010, since we are offering a free night promotion. Just stay three straight nights at the same hotel with arrival by November 19th, 2009 and you will earn enough Choice Privileges® points to redeem for a free night at over 1,500 Choice hotels.
We want to thank you for being a loyal Choice Privileges member and we greatly appreciate your business!
Sincerely,
Pat Marugg
Manager, Choice Service Center
