I know this was asked in another thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hyatt...tra-certs.html), but it's a couple of years old.

Now that we're earning double stay credits, does that apply to the Platinum Extra Awards? I was thinking it must, because of how the award stays are tiered, but after reading through this thread, I can see how a Platinum could reach 21 stays without becoming a Diamond, so...

Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm all for earning extra points, but I don't want to waste Hyatt customer service employees' time.
