For me it's time to take a different shuttle bus. It was good while it lasted Hilton. I've been Diamond for over 10 years. Many with over 150 stays. In 08 I had 21 stays by the end of March and then broke my leg. I was in bed for 9 months. In Dec I got the "hey, you won't make Diamond e-mail" "stay just 5 times before dec 31" to keep status. Unfortunately, I was still unable to travel. In April 09 I called the Diamond Desk to explain the situation, and ask if they had some sort of challenge avail for me. No Dice, asked for a supervisor and was told "sorry you've been demoted to Gold" nothing I can do, since the new cards are in "process". Thanks Hilton. I promptly cancelled 18 stays I had booked. "supervisor knew this" For 2009 so far I have 1 paid stay at norita airport $89 and 1 priceline stay at the HHV $99 that I got a stay credit for.......Thats it. Now with this new devaluation, I probably won't stay at Hiton unless it's convienient for ME....and I'll probably priceline it BTW I just got a letter from my citi HHonors card, 29% for no reason So it's time to move on........where's the Hyatt shuttle I need a little SUITE to relax in
