Your buddy MileNerd sometimes experiences a troubling medical condition. I believe professionals refer to it as a case of the “brain farts.” Yeah, my post yesterday should have said Lufthansa not Best Western. Duh. Thanks to many of you for letting me know. Also, thanks to reader Rahul for teaching me something yesterday. Looks like the incredible Hyatt Diamond Challenge might be a little less incredible these days. I always recommend Hilton Gold as the easiest status to “match” with. Well, apparently, that option might be gone. According to Rahul, if you want a shortcut to Hyatt Diamond status, you’ll need to have one of the following:
- Starwood Platinum
- IHG Platinum
- Marriott Gold or Platinum
- Hilton VIP or Diamond VIP
Where is Hilton Gold, you ask? And what the hell is Hilton VIP? If I had to guess, I’d say “Hilton VIP” is probably a typo for “Hilton Gold VIP.” But, then again, it was a brain farty kind of day for me. Hoping for more clarity tomorrow.
