I will never go out of my way to stay to stay at a Hilton property anymore. Personally, if I got an upgrade or something that recognized me as a Diamond I wouldn't feel se bitter, but I'm treated as a King at Sheraton and just another guest at Hilton.....

The only thing that even keeps me at Hilton is when I am in the middle of Nowhere,USA there is always a Hampton inn......
If you've been Diamond for 6 years and never gotten an upgrade you either are picking the stingiest properties or have the worst traveling luck I've ever heard of. I grant my upgrade is far from 100% - probably about 40% - but its far from never.
