New to Hyatt - made a booking on Hotels.com for a stay and learnt that its not eligible for points. Thats fine, how I am not able to even add my GP# on the reservation. I plan to status match from Marriott plat. Do I still get the benefits?

All Hyatt stays no matter if it's revenue, award, booked through a third party is eligible for status perks but not points or stay credits if booked with a third party. Usually you can call to add your GP number but if the cant/won't, just present it at checkin.

Starwood Plat considering Hyatt Questions
I'm Starwood Platinum and am considering challenging to Hyatt later this year as I already have 7 award nights booked and would benefit from Diamond status during these nights. A few questions:
1. I assume award nights do NOT count for the Diamond challenge?
2. Do GOVERNMENT rate nights/stays count for the Diamond challenge?
3. Do GOVERNMENT rate nights/stays count as an eligible rate otherwise (non-challenge regular stays)?
4. If I book two rooms, do I receive stay credit for both rooms (as you do with Starwood) or just for the one room that I'm occupying?
5. If I pass Diamond, do I receive upgrade certs or is that only for 25 stay/50 night Diamonds?
Thanks for the help!

1. Award stays do not count for anything - no stay credit ever for any count challenge or annual counts.
2 & 3. Yes
4. No just one credit per night no matter how many rooms and usually how many properties you are checked into.
5. The suite upgrade Certs, usable only on revenue stays, will be deposited in your account (4) upon acceptance of the challenge and then annually in March (provided that you maintain Diamond status).

But cash and points award stays do count against the Diamond challenge:

I don't think Hyatt would do this unless you are Diamond (even then there are limits).

New to Hyatt. Transferred points from UR to redeem for 3 nights, as I was short of 2000 goldpoints, I purchased them, and nowhere on the site it says that it takes them 7-10 days to be available! What am I supposed to do now? Anybody ever heard of this? Any advice or tips, welcome! Thanks
