Without showing major stays with the competition who can blame them for following the, already generous, rules of the Diamond challenge.
So just do a few stays with Hilton to get gold and you're set. Plenty of time until NYE :-).
People really get them for free? Wow, so people must be screwing it over for me then!
Well I was hoping not to leave my current Hyatt reservations for the next month, but I guess I will have to do so and transfer to Hilton. I think I can do a 4 day challenge with them and get gold immediately.
I can wait to hit 50 stays next year (just don't want to with NYE), but I will only be near 25 at the end of this year as I just started traveling frequently 2 months ago.
