I’d cancel my Aspire card. Hilton Honors has already pretty much lost most of my US stays due to a lack of benefits - if I stay at a Hampton or HGI, it’s usually an AA Hotels booking to earn AA miles and LPs. If they were to take away the lounge benefit for Diamonds, I can probably just find a decent Marriott or Hyatt with Lounge at most overseas locations and that would mean Diamond and the Aspire card are not very useful to me anymore and my “loyalty life” would be a bit more simplified.
