It's the not knowing that's my biggest problem right now. If they turned around tomorrow and said that I could 100% forget any hope of having those stay credits reappear, I'd just cut my losses with MR/SPG and move all future stays to Hilton (where I'd have no problem maintaining Diamond as my main program).
You just need to stay in the appropriate legacy realm if your seeking to elevate your status in 2018 time frame. I achieved SPG Plat post August 18 now that my account is in order and am on my way to Plate Premier. I just need to stay at legacy SPG hotels to achieve this goal is what I've gleaned from other threads on this subject.
Good Luck!
