That is about 1/2 of what I need to spend in a year to make Diamond. I have exactly one regular stay that is $200+ per night for 3 nights and this year I caught a sale for $175. I make Diamond on stays, mostly HGI and HI. So, not everyone finds it super, super easy.

Thank you Lauren! I'm all signed up.
I noticed that the link for FAQs on the confirmation page still goes to info for the current promo that ends April 30. If you get a chance could you let us know when the FAQs for the new promo are available? I'm one of those nerds who likes to take a screen print.

Does this also count when stays were booked in the past, that is before registering to the promo? I have 15 stays in this time frame and this promo is very welcome.

This is a strong promo, and conspicuously so given the weak Marriott/ Starwood promo for the period and the concerns about the merger of the programmes. At this stage I think that Starriott will continue to get the majority of my spend, but I expect to hit Diamond at Hilton for the first time since the massive devaluations and may well look into how I choose between individual hotels at some point.

Yes will do! The FAQ is currently being worked on for the new promotion and should be updated shortly.
Thanks for your patience!
