As someone who is going to end up being 5 or so stays short of diamond, who might possibly make diamond next year if my last few stays this year rolled over...of course there is NO WAY they will target me for this. Oh well!

Am I missing something here ?
I missed retaining BA Silver status this year, because I didn't fly enough, but I know how I could have avoided that indignity ...... by booking a few more flights !

Tried the link again, still couldn't register. Guess I wasn't targeted. I'm kinda let down because this promo would have worked for me. I made it to Diamond by August but not so sure about next year.

I'd love to be targeted for this (will hit Diamond on stays this week) but, honestly, all it would do is push me to SPG earlier in the year in 2015... once I either I have enough travel booked to requal for Diamond I'll start going after SPG Gold or Platinum, and being targeted for this promo would just make it more likely I'd get SPG Platinum instead of just Gold.

I wasn't targeted...at least not yet.
I doubt I will be though. I made diamond in the summer and quit staying at Hiltons for the most part to spread the love, however I made diamond via CC spend as well too.

Yes, and if you call they will tell you you are not targeted. So you can't register on the phone either. Surprise!

If you happen to be one of the group on here that never gets any emails from Hilton, the only way to know if you're targeted is to call/email them. I did that last year and was indeed targeted, but never got the email. So thanks to OP for giving us this heads-up that there is another of these promos.
It really is time for Hilton to fix their email issues. This issue was brought up with the HHonors rep quite some time ago but nothing ever came of it.

I have also brought it up with the Hilton Representative here on the forum with the usual reply "I will check with my group". After that I have written PMs but they do not answer any more. REALLY BAD!!!!!!!!

My stats:
33 Stays
92 Nights

No offer.
I made Diamond in mid-May of this year. This would have been a nice offer to build on for 2016.
My boss' stats are very similar to mine (we travel almost the exact same schedule, but he's based in a different city) and he was targeted.

No love here either.

WTH? I'll be over 65 stays by the end of the year. If they don't roll the Diamond excess over then it will be my last year with HH. For sure.
