I had totally ignored this thread until I received in the post today a letter from HH with a shiny new gold card with my name on it (not requested but AMEX thought I should have one anyway). Something about stay 4 nights by end March 05 and get 20,000 bonus points. Not sure if this is my scene yet. But then again my life changed after 2 events: (1) I turned left upon entering a 744, and (2) getting a seat on BA1 and BA2 and not having to pay for it.
