Too bad you didn't think of that a few months earlier. It didn't take much to get HH Diamond if you had status at Marriott or elsewhere:
I got HH Diamond through March 2018 through that offer for being Marriott Platinum. In any case, there's not a huge difference between HH Gold and HH Platinum, and you can get HH Gold with a $75/year credit card (Amex HH Surpass).
