3a. Re: How long will diamond status guarantee free rooms?

As I understand it, diamond status never "guarantees" free rooms. I am diamond, play regularly in Indiana, mostly Hammond Horseshoe, and went on a trip to Hammond Southern Indiana. Called the host ahead of time for a comp'ed room and was told I didn't qualify; it's based on play, and although I regularly played there and qualified for free rooms (and more), I hadn't been for a couple of years, and needed to re-qualify.
As their rates were outrageous, I stayed at a nearby hotel, played some while there, and the offers are again in the mail; don't know how long they'll keep coming.
I think this is pretty typical - free rooms are apparently based on local casino action, and apparently how recently as well. And I'm sure "availability" is a factor for Diamond (probably not a problem for 7 star), esp. if there's some big event going on that would otherwise fill most of the rooms.
Other posts have accurately reported how long Diamond is "good" once earned.
