I agree with most all of the previous post. Regarding requalification, changing the qualification requirements for the program is certainly within Hilton's rights. Not telling us anything about the change before its implementation is rather outrageous. I don't think any two people at the Diamond Desk could explain the old requalification rules the same way. I wonder how much confusion the latest change will bring.

As far as promotions are concerned, I've seen a lot of them for individual hotels. But these are on the order of, "Stay here..." or "Come back..." and we'll give you 1000 points. I get better than that from Marriott and SPG and I'm nobody in those programs.

I should reiterate, though, I do not see the no blackout dates benefit as a problem for Diamond members.
