Does Kempinski have it's own program? I know they are part of the Global Hotel Alliance. Anyone have luck matching with that program?

Sent a scan of my HH Diamond Card to Hyatt, they sent me back this:

I asked (a supervisor) if they could still match since I was only a day late from the cutoff and they said for me to send in my most recent HH activity, which I did.
Better hurry...and Good Luck!

I'm confused...is Hyatt no longer allowing status matching?? Or has the procedure simply changed for getting a status match?

I wouldn't be surprised if this change has something to do with the Hyatt credit card sign-up benefit for Diamond members (two free nights in suites).

I sent an email to [email protected] with a scan of the front and back of my Hilton Honors Diamond card and a screen capture of my Hilton stay history. An hour later I received a reply that SPG had upgraded my SPG Gold to SPG Platinum through 2011.
The only thing that could make me happier is if Planet Hollywood in Vegas and the Resort at Singer Island in FL were still Starwood properties.
