Diamond Level Question
I am new to Choice Hotels (since August 2009), but have accrued 34 nights YTD. Try as I might, I will only hit 37 nights for 2009 which is 3 nights short of Diamond status. Before you ask, no I don't plan on doing a mattress run to accrue those last 3 nights. It's not the money, I will be on vacation and won't have the opportunity to stay at a Choice Property.
QUESTION: Is status based on calendar year (paid nights in 2009 only), or is it a rolling calendar meaning I have until August 2010 to earn Diamond level? I'd hate to have to start over again on 1/1/10 with only Platinum level acheived.
Thanks for the help and all of the great advice found on this forum. You are all very helpful!! Have a great New Year!!
