White paper
I was sent my new card with the 4/2010 Diamond but all that was in the envelope was the piece of paper saying here is your new card.
I never use them so I'm not going to even call to request a new one.

It's kind of a shiny pearl color, with black lettering. A vast improvement over the previous one with white lettering that was difficult to read. Currently shows an expiry of 04/2009, but with the change from revolving tier qualification back to nights in a year, who knows what the next one will look like (or what color).

I just clicked on the link for a replacement card on the Hilton web page and got the new black card, exp. 3/10.

I've still got the "dirty white" card - the Hilton Honnors is in Silver lettering and the member info is in black. Exp is 4/09 so I'm guessing I won't get the black one for a while.
Hope the Black one is durable - the printing on mine is fading and its less than a year old. If that black one is supposed to last until 2010.....

My new card is black with a few flashes of colour-quite appropriate-to me it represents a diamond in the dark.
My old card was white/pearl colour with a black bar on top-I took it as meaning this fellow is barred from upgrades.
Since I have had my new card I am 4 from 4 for upgrades so maybe there is something in this.

1st card
Seven years ago I received my first Hilton diamond card.
I knew what it was when it arrived in the mail even before I opened up the envelope. It was as it is today Pearl colored and in a fancy envelope with rice paper over the top of it. I wish I got as excited about that silly card as about other things.
