If you were gold and barely missed diamond they may give you the diamond challenge offer (and they may not).

However, if you barely made Gold status or recieved your gold status through some special offer or FT then it's unlikely they will offer you a diamond challenge.

I think they try to offer the diamond challenge to those who look like (from their travel history) they actually travel enough to earn the status again, or,
to members who have had Diamond status for several years and maybe just didn't make it this past year. This may include those who are top tier status at some other chains.

Good Luck! But, I would not look for a 'handout' that your travel pattern can't support sustaining. (everyone's travel pattern is different, but will likely be the determining factor).
