So now I know I officially know about the program. I wonder when the hotels will find out?

And when they find out, what will the hotel strategy for managing the demand for suites? Especially hotels that will get a lot of Diamond members staying at the same time?

And how will IC's, Regents, Kimpton's and the like deal with this? Do RA/Inner Circle members get the suites before Diamond?
