Grrrrr. I have a Q2 free cert from last year that expires in June, and I want to use that rather than pay RR. It's good for up to Cat 7, I'm willing to burn it on a Cat 5, only I'm not allowed.

(I remain a fan of HH in general, but I think it sorta stinks how unavailable Diamond Force has been in my experience - even though they trumpet it as one of the key bennies of the program.)

What am I doing wrong, here? What does one have to do, exactly, to score a Diamond Force reservation on points or certs?
I would just keep calling the diamond desk until you find someone willing to put in the request for you. They won't guarantee you a room but they will send a request over to the hotel.
