A mid-tier status is always hit or miss. Some hotels treat you like a top-tier, while others could not care less, if you Platinum or dirt staying on el cheapo Priceline rate.
In any case, I would go ahead and make Platinum and give Hyatt a call, they offered a lot of challenges this year for Platinum members, so with a couple more stays in x months, you might get Diamond status relatively easy and soon.
