a few weeks ago was a discussion about once you hit diamond do you look for another program--
I had decided to get status with ihg and build some points since I really like thier resorts-- but I really like hilton and was second guessing my decision to focus elsewhere....
long story short I have an appt next week and there must be a game or something in the area I wanted to stay in, all the hiltons brands were sold out, and three that said I could use my diamond status to get a room took me thru the checkout process which failed and I ended up calling 3 hotels that said the website was mistaken and there were no vacancies and they were all oversold.
Yet I got a room in a much more desirable location at a holiday inn....
so in come cases it is nice to have a second partner to work with.
