Very generous offer and much appreciated by many I expect.

I would love to put my name forward but I am not sure that I qualify ... having just got a status match (from IHG) to Gold with Hilton as I have four Hilton stays in December and a good chance to see if Gold is worth it.

But if I do still qualify then it would most certainly get used a lot in the coming year (with three other trips planned for 2019). And, if begging makes any difference, all my hotel and stays are (now) self funded and this would indeed make a diamond present for my wife!
