I am glad to see that it was not isolated to the Berlin Hilton and that there does seem to be some sort of writen directive. Application of this new directive does seem spotty, but what must be understood is that while they maybe never had to do anything nice to Diamonds, they did and now they won't. As this Club benefit only really had its fullest advantage in Ex-US sites, I am getting quite reluctant to continue to do business there and if anyone in Hilton had any sense they would 'restore' the benefits to the situatuion prior to this past sumer
