Here's the scoop on the cards

A Hilton lady lives in my building and here's how the cards work. There are old ones and new ones in circulation. Hilton has a couple of inventory houses world wide - and they are working through the old and new ones - so to get a new version of the card it depends on where it comes from.

Here is a listing of the new cards (all of them have photos on the front)

Diamond - -Black (with flares of light coming from a diamond)
Gold - Waves with golden sunset on them
Silver - Grey/Silver toned pebbles/polished stone
Blue - Blue water in pool with sunlight on it and palm shadows

I have no idea as i haven't seen it in years. I keep a pile of mostly unopened mail from airline and hotels that looks like stuff I shouldn't throw out- so maybe it's in there- but in several years I have not needed, been asked for, or wished I had with me, my HH card. (BA is other story...)

I asked for a new one after my "white" DIA card got sent to me, as the new ones should be black... got a new one which was white again ...

Did you honestly mean to type Two Thousand Twelve? ... rather than 2010. If so, curious as to basis for two more years of status than would be expected.

Yes, I did. When I received my Diamond card earlier this year, the letter thanked me and said that in recognition of 10 years of maintaining my Diamond status, they were extending my status for three years to 2012.
