Diamond in a Day only ups your tier level for the rest of the current TR earnings year....if you earn Diamond the regular way you get your status for the rest of the current year and the entire next year as well. If you already have Diamond then earning 3,000 points in one day gives you nothing you don't already have. The best time to earn DIAD is the first week of January each year...that gives you a 15 months of status for your play. If you earn DIAD on 12/31 it only gives you 3 months of status for your play.
For example, if you are a gold member today (12/5/11) and earn 3,000 base TR points in one day you get moved immediately to Diamond but it is good only until 3/31/12. If you go over 11,000 points by 12/31/11 then your status is good until 3/31/13.

Right this second I have a Rewards Credit (RC) Balance of about 25K points and a tier score of about 3K (most of that would be from table poker). The C web-site says this puts me 1K tier points off Platinum.
