Will hit 3x 10k on 3 reserve cards next year and would have done an additional 10k but glad to know I shouldn't bother. I will hit 40k on one card this year and have diamond till Mar 2017. Will be burning most of our HH points next year. atleast the gold that comes with the card is better than any status you get with another CC.
it's funny that although i like spg and hyatt, i end up staying mostly with hilton due to the gold benefits and # of locations.
