I had forgotten that I did it, but I confirmed that I was signed up for the promotion via email, and still had copies of the email.
Whenever I have a promo that runs over an extended period of time and is likely going to "confuse" me down the road (or where I lose track as to what I have completed and still need to accomplish), I create a tracking spreadsheet in Google Docs where I maintain all the relevant information. I did that for the fast track promo, for the various FFNs and also for the 10k bonus points. And then I have another little "to-do" list spreadsheet where I track all the various bonuses etc. that I expect to earn. I.e., I book a stay at the GH Timbuktu today for 3 months down the road. If I know now that I will earn a G1 bonus, I put it into that spreadsheet right now, because by the time the stay comes around I might either forget or Hyatt reorgs their website and I can't find it anymore.
