Apologies in advance if this has been asked elsewhere and I missed it.

I have a hypothetical question about the Diamond Challenge. Considering that Hyatt now counts award stays toward elite status, would it be possible to achieve the 12 night stays in 60 days entirely as award stays (e.g., transferring Ultimate Rewards points to HGP and then redeeming the HGP for 12 nights at a Hyatt Place)?

Or do the 12 night stays have to all be paid stays?

Thanks in advance.
