Even if I would drop in status I could still show this card at the front desk and benefit from the advantages. I would probably only loose the bonus points.
Then again, as I can do as many status matches as I like with BW (as long as they offer this) I could match again if I would ever drop.

Still, I'm intrigued as why there is no expiration on the card...
It appears that if you have a couple of stays a year at BWs you will keep your Diamond status. I matched about three years ago, stay at BWs 2 or 3 times a year, and my status has remained Diamond.
