Well the good news is I've started receiving promo emails from Hhonors after a PM to Erin..... the bad news is I didn't receive this offer and the link doesn't work for me I've sent an email to the Diamond Desk so we will see what they say.

No luck for me. Got the "REGISTRATION ERROR Based on the account number you entered, you are not eligible for an exclusive offer at this time."
I've made Diamond the last 4 years based on nights. I really hope that the "at this time" language means they are just in the process of still rolling this out to all Diamonds.

Maybe they went through and only selected those of us that barely made Diamond and rewarded us? They realize those of us close have other options (and are exercising them) so they're trying to keep us and they feel the ones who choose to qualify with lots of cushion are a captive audience.

Nobody knows for sure what they are trying to achieve with the targeted offers and how they choose who qualifies but these may do more to upset some members than achieve anything else... Especially at this age when information is shared and spreads within seconds. Targeted offers are supposed to be private but when they are out in the open it makes other members scratch their heads and wonder why they did not qualify and come up with all possible theories.

I'm definitely NOT saying those that barely qualify (like myself, since I spread my wealth) should receive any additional perks. Just trying to find some plausible excuse on their "strategy".

I simply questioned why would that be the reason, and then elaborated that nobody really knew what the reason was.

Great Post!
Thanks for the post! I am able to requalify for Diamond with our upcoming trip to Costa Rica. I have been a Diamond for 10 years; but, was about to lose it as my spouse started a new business venture and we don't travel as much as we used to. I do love the Diamond benefits.

So - why have they done this promo?
Some things come to mind:
1) They wanted to give something to their elites, and clearly distinguish Diamonds from Golds here. One of the common complaints by Diamonds is the lack of recognition over Golds.
2) However, Golds also got a Top-Deal, even if tied to stays. A fast-track to Diamond for some, specifically fast-tracks for requalification of former Diamonds may point to the fact, that Hilton has seen people actually voting with their feet, leaving the programme?!
