I called TR a month or so ago and found this out. If you get 15,000 this year, you achieve diamond status, and you will stay diamond until March 2015. Also, new this year, once you achieve 15,000 points you unlock a $100 "Celebration Dinner" for you and your friends to use pretty much anywhere. This is valid until March 31, 2014. So, if you are unable to use it this year, you have until the end of March to use it next year. Now, the lady on the phone, says it is definitely good until then, but does not know if they will do the same program in 2014. In other words, once you use the 2013 by March 2014, you may or may not get another one after getting 15,000 in 2014, depending on how the program does or does not change. I think this "Celebration Dinner" is new for 2013. I plan to use mine in March 2014, when I always go every year for the first weekend of March Madness NCAA basketball tournament. I hope this answers your question.
