Diamond is so much worth iit that I am spending extra 1500.00 (matters run) just to keep it (have Gold for free with a credit card).
However I for once brutally request enforcing the rules and kicking out all the freeloaders (that includes Gold) out if they do not deserve particular benefit. This "enforcing" BTW get me extra perks from the hotels administration.
On the other hand I am reconsidering my Hyatt diamond, probably will let it pass this year
