Those who succeed you can now change your signature to Hyatt Diamond "For Life". Nice. This should be one of the greatest deals if Chase/Hyatt honors it.

The fact is, it is not Hyatt's fault that card is not an option in other parts of the world. It costs quiet some money for a bank to launch a new product and they only do that if you have a pretty big group as potential customers. If Hyatt would approach a bank in lets say germany and ask them to launch a card like this the bank will ask ok how many customers do you have, how many of those are status customers? I can guarantee you the pool will not be very big. In germany most people don't tend to hold many credit cards and those who do hold cards (especially travel related cards of premium brands) do not use it as a line of credit. You get where I am going with this. It makes no economical sense for a bank to engage in such a deal. There is not a lot of potential if any.
However I think Hyatt could do something for their overseas customers and try to make a deal with American Express Membership Rewards. I know they are SPG Partner in some markets but not sure how exclusive that partnership is and if this is worldwide. Many of us are Amex customers so that would be at least a bit of gratification for the lost souls.

Skywalker,
what about contacting the Attorney General of California again?
Oh wait, you did that to get back at Hilton and not Hyatt, right?

SPG offers a card in Canada now which is pretty decent but their redemptions are not the greatest with some exceptions (I talked about this earlier here - no need to repeat myself).
There is the saying 'There are only bad options - it's about finding the best one." I take it with humor and consider it a game.

As of now I don't see how the AG would care about this case unless Hyatt/Chase refuse to honor the offer made to the recipients of said email. Before running to an attorney I would always suggest contacting the Attorney General, in fact if you have already legal action pending this avenue is closed so think about it twice before getting a lawyer involved. That is the nuclear option and should be seen as the last resort.

Well for what it is worth I applied through the link and was approved. Some data points: I am only a gold member and didn't receive the offer via email. First time applying for this card. I changed the landing page to show my name and gp number and saved it. Who knows, if if I don't get diamond status I will call and forward that screen shot.
I will update when I know if receive diamond status. I am not counting on that but since I was going to apply for this card early next year, I figured this was worth a shot.

I'm actually happy it was erroneous, cause its one thing to give away plat status and an entirely different thing to give away top tier for $75/yr. I was actually a little butthurt looking at my staycount this year this morning when I was booking a couple hotel stays for next week.
