Got my new diamond card today
Surprised to get a new diamond card today since my current one does not expire until 3/2013. This one is good until 3/2014.
Anyone else get one?

Not to hijack the Hhonors card thread, but you should have received a sticker to apply to your card extending its expiry until they issue the new UACO cards in March.

Happy to say mine came in mail today. I qualified for diamond both with Amex Surpass and by doing 100k base points. Wasn't sure if they would push the status to 2014- very nice plus. Trying for Hyatt status match over next few months for a bit of variety and now don't have to worry about using the Amex this year!

I was telling my partner at dinner tonight that 2012 will probably be my last diamond year for a bit since my travels have dropped off considerably. We got home and in the mailbox is my new diamond card with an expiration of 3/2016!
The enclosed letter said they were extending for 3 years for my 10 years as a diamond. Seems like it is 4 years but i am not complaining!

Yes. I feel it is a touch classier" than the existing tropical beach theme card, which has an expiry date of 3/2013; mine (and Lady JDiver's) is very similar to this HGVC variant (N.B. not my info, and publicly posted elsewhere):

Still travelling on a three year old expired Silver card despite requests for a new card. 
It has only been a problem once.
