Love this stuff Druff. Keep up the good work.
I have a question about above quote from OP. It says it is not wise to earn at end of year, but if the status flips on Jan 31rst, then you should also not try this in the first month of the year? Is this correct? I'm planning on getting diamond but am trying to figure out if I should wait a month to start.
edit - Wow, I will have to rethink whether I want to bother. Resort fees being knocked off is nice, but meh. Previously I thought I'd get diamond then keep the option open for 7 stars because of the room comp. No surprise it was removed. Too easy to exploit.
