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.
