I'm Diamond and got the free night. Still doesn't make me feel better. In fact, I'll have over 100 nights this year and feel so annoyed that I'm going to look at Marriott and start spreading my business around.
When the economy is this bad they should have found a way to keep DIA insulated from this type of increase (or decrease in point value).
Another attempt to nickel and dime us. I wonder how many real $'s they'll lose by those of us who move some of our business elsewhere. I'll maintain status but move some to Marriott for more points.
I really am starting to thing that the idiots who run these programs are that, idiots. No idea how to create more brand loyalty. They should be lowering point values for DIA/Gold members, making us want to get more points to use them.
