Just called the Diamond desk and I'm a couple of years short. Need ten years, not consecutive, as a diamond member to make it. Twelve more nights this year and I'll have eight years under my belt. I have accumulated 624 nights and have used my points for several nice vacations. I guess I'll be Lifetime Diamond beginning in 2020.^

You obviously have not read the details. Yes there is a $450 annual fee. However, you get $500 of credits each year. You also get Diamond status without spending a single night in a Hilton Hotel room.
No you do not get Lifetime Status but who cares. Those of us who earned out Lifetime Status by staying at the properties clearly feel devalued by people get our same status for really doing nothing

I never thought you should get it anyway. Earn it every year like the rest of us.It was made up out of the blue with random qualifications. You might think you're better than Diamonds that earn it each year, but you're not. You'r no different to us workin cowboys than the CC scroungers.

Checked with the Diamond Helpdesk today and they are telling me I've just qualified as Lifetime - this is the 10th year as diamond and I have almost 1100 nights. They are also saying I should get the status through before the end of this calendar year - although I thought it would come through in 2018?

Basically anyone who cares enough to want Diamond will be able to get it. Complete joke

I am still hoping they will announce a level higher than Diamond which will include existing Lifetime Diamonds.......

No doubt, further diluting diamond status. I think this will backfire on them. I purposefully will not push for diamond status now, have been LT Gold and had thought Diamond would be nice but from what I have heard over the last several weeks to months....why bother!

Has anyone gotten any "attaboy" or notification of years-of-status even if not LD?
I'll be at 10 years Diamond this year, but am probably short some stays. Just wondering if they give you a "Hey, you're almost there" or note at 10 years.

considering they barely give you anything once you make it, i doubt there is much coming your way for being close

I read that Hilton Diamond Lifetime status will be granted to those who have been Diamond member for 10 years (non-consecutive). I became Hilton Diamond for 2 years with my Accor Platinum that I have matched. Do these 2 years count towards the 10 years for lifetime Diamond?
