Gold - 30 nights, 20 stays, or 60,000 base points
Platinum - 60 nights, 35 stays, or 90,000 base points
Diamond - 90 nights, 50 stays, or 120,000 base points
maybe even offer another level for those who stay 150 nights or have 180,000 base points.
Oh my... Even with the current levels they struggle to have any meaningful difference between Gold and Diamond (apparently). How could they ever manage to differentiate between even more levels?
And you won't get a lot friends here suggesting that HH raise their requirements for Gold / Diamond...

But welcome to FT anyway!
Also, I think that those who stay more nights a year in hotels than needed for the top level should spread out to other hotel chains.
