Some bottom-feeder (apparently a Hyatt insider) was selling Hyatt Diamond status on ebay and disguising it as status match:

This change is not cast in stone, I see some wiggle room. I'd pm Hyatt Gold Passport Conciege below with your travel plans (stays/nights/$$$ ... revenue you plan to move to Hyatt) to see what she might do for you ... and please report back either way. Thank you.

Hyatt Gold Passport no longer participates with the tier matching program. In select cases, a trial offer may be proposed at the discretion of the individual hotels' sales department.
