Surely these LT schemes are about incentivising qualifying forward stays not some spurious retrospective "reward" which may yield little value to the chain? By that measure this is something of a fail.

Received an Email too..
Got the lifetime diamond email this morning. Wow. Very Cool.
One thing I did notice early on was when I looked at my Online card it did not have an expiration date in January . Don't know if it ever did, however. Thanks Hilton! |

I guess it all depends on how much Lifetime status means to you. I mean Hilton never had it before and while long term members grumbled an awful lot have still stuck with the program. For me it would be a nice feather in the cap, but I am staying enough nights to be Diamond and will for the foreseeable future. |
I'd love to hear from Erin, if possible, why base points ($s spent) wasn't a consideration? 100 nights a year at $200 a night ( avg?) is $20k. There are people out there (guess what, like me ) who spend $15k at the Conrad Maldives every year for the last 6 years. If I add to that my 20 nights a year at European destinations (far more expensive than the US average , let's assume $350 a night) , puts me at about $22k per year. I get that nights in a bed is a real descriptor of loyalty, but surely spend is interesting too? There are plenty of other hotels in the Maldives I could spend my money with.

My husband also received his lifetime diamond email this morning. FWIW, he probably has roughly double the nights required to qualify.

I just rec'd the email today:

I think the requirements are fine...they prevent any gaming by mattress-hopping or any other means. Longevity as a Diamond and number of BIB nights are the correct metrics IMO.

Just received my "You have achieved Lifetime Diamond status" email. I was wondering if this was in the works as they gave me DIA status good for 3 years in 2014 even though I only stayed enough for Gold during 2013.
Now looks like I have the trifecta - Lifetime Platinum with Starwood, Lifetime Platinum with Marriott and now Lifetime Diamond. |
Just received DH's lifetime diamond notification. The E-mail content:

Initially, Lifetime Diamond Status will go to a select group of members who met all of the following criteria as of December 31, 2014:
Thanks, Erin May I check if Award Nights using Points and Rooms redeemed with Points and Money count towards the 1000 nights for Lifetime Diamond Status requirement? |
Got it! As a Diamond member since the introduction of the Diamond tier for the last 22 consecutive years, this is a welcome reward. Kudos to Hilton for getting this one right.

Got my Lifetime Diamond member email today. ^
