I assume they look at the stay history as provided, but I cannot imagine that they call up Hyatt and ask for confirmation. How'd that conversation go?

SPG Rep: Hi, this is Bob with SPG speaking. How may I help you?

GP Rep: Oh hi, this is Joe from Hyatt Gold Passport.

SPG Rep: Joe, didn't we just talk yesterday?

GP Rep: Yup, I think so.

SPG Rep: Well, I have got another one of your best customers who wants to defect to SPG. Before we hand him our Platinum status, could you please confirm that he's really a Diamond in good status? Ya know, none of those fast-trackers that keep trying to fool us. His GP # is 34328746324Z and he claims to have 78 nights with 34 stays

GP Rep: Yup, that would be Dave Smith, he's one of our best customers. Take good care of him, please.

SPG Rep: Sure thing. Talk to soon, Joe.
