Same thinking here-- I'm someone who has qualified for Spire every year based on a combination of stays + credit card spend for those stays. Unfortunately, the double whammy of increased qualification requirements and the removal of credit card spend toward those requirements... plus the fact that no tangible enhanced benefits for Diamond have even been announced to date... has made me decide to just drop to Platinum which I will get from the credit card anyway.
