Other than status matching and possibly if you have rooms booked, they should not just give you status.
I would also like to tell a little story of mine.
Thanks to Hyatt's Platinum & Diamond trial offer, three of my family members are now Diamond members. We find Hyatt very generous -- so generous that I suggested my sister (4th family member) to join as well. But by the time I mentioned this to my sister, the Platinum & Diamond trial offer has already finished. Yet I didn't blame Hyatt at all. I suggested to my sister that if she wants to become a Diamond member, she will need to do 25 stays -- just like everybody else.
If I am crazy enough, maybe I should threaten Hyatt either to give my sister the Diamond membership or else all my family members will give their business to SPG?
