Please let me know if you are successful in getting your status to change.
That doesn't make much sense. With a status challenge, my understanding is that you get temporary Diamond and all the benefits along with it. How do hotels know you have Diamond if your status isn't set as such?
Also, you're supposed to get the suite upgrades--which I don't see in my account.
Can anyone clarify? I know a bunch of FTers have gone through the process.
