I have a question about Diamond trial (fast track) offer or Diamond tier matching.
In the lifetime of membership of either SPG, HHonors, or Gold Passport, how many times can a member ask for fast track or tier matching? If there is possibility of getting it more than once, a member can practically keep the highest tier by asking fast track or tier matching over and over again.
Thanks for the responses.

Starwood have always stated it is a once in a lifetime offer, so do it when plan to make use of it.

Cuse44, that's fantastic news!
^^^^^
I should know, but do still wonder, whether one can do more than one challenge (different years). Both here and in other programs, such as Hilton's and Marriott's, for instance, if anyone watching knows and would include it in their answer. I don't mean matches or match-related, but challenges per se. I recently noticed in my United package that they include an HHonors one. Thank you. (Now, back to the topic at hand...)

Good question. It didn't occur to me that I wouldn't get the status immediately. Right now my account still shows Platinum but I wonder if it's something that only updates overnight. I guess we will wait and see...

Since it says you'll get 30% diamond bonus, I think you will have Diamond status during your trial period. Enjoy it!

I dunno, my status still hasn't been updated. I replied to the email they sent me but haven't heard back. Part of me wonders if they have it set up so you get the point bonuses during the trial but no other benefits (i.e. the reason my status still shows Platinum so I don't get the Diamond perks at the hotel)

I posted about this offer a month ago. I received all of the benefits that you mentioned in your original post. When I received the email requesting verification of my SPG status, I sent that via fax and it took approximately two days to process. One I received an email back saying that I have been enrolled in the trial, my Diamond Status updated overnight. I have been receiving the 30% bonus for all my stays so far and I got to take advantage of the 4 diamond suite upgrades that expired on 2/28/11 ^

I just wanted to update everyone here regarding the Diamond Tier Challenge. I emailed Gold Passport Customer Service last night asking for a match to Hyatt Diamond based on my SPG Platinum Status. This is what I received back. Looks like the challenge is still possible..^
