Because I don't think I'm special. Hilton is a business, if they think it's in their best interest to give out Diamond then they're going to do just that. Their footprint and their cost competitiveness works for my needs so the fact that there are a lot of other Diamonds out there doesn't tip the scale away from them fitting my needs.
