This is an important point. Julia just posted last week with respect to the 15K bonus for 5 stays for diamonds or 10K for platinums, that it is available to ALL diamonds and ALL platinums. SPG's targetted promotions are maddening and in a community like FT where everyone knows everything, it does nothing more than cause tons or bad will. Hyatt is a breath of fresh air with their superior promotions and lack of such narrow tailoring to seemingly random subgroups of members.
