No that is not my point
I do not want something for nothing. I am a very loyal Hilton person. One year I even spent 105 nights at Hiltons. I wish Hilton had lifetime status like SPG and Marriott. Earlier this year I had to stay somewhere where there was no Hilton just a Starwood Hotel. I called SPG and I identified myself as a Hilton Diamond member and was offered a challenge to make SPG Platinum. I made it. I wish Hilton would do the same. the problem is that it does not appear there is such a thing as a challenge to retain Diamond. It sounds like I can only get a challenge if I have no status or after I lose my status. Does that sound right?
