There are exceptions to every rule, and Gimli being allowed to go to Valinor was one of those exceptions. But then again, what he did wasn't completely ordinary. He and Legolas healed the ages-long rift between the Dwarves and the Elves, not a very easy thing to do, might I add. They also sacrificed a lot to help the Ringbearer succeed, and they were rewarded for that.
