I'm looking to stay late September for 10 nights, i'd also book a weekend somewhere to complete the '12 nights' in 60 days requirement. However, i'd love to be upgrading that 10 night stay itself, with two of the free suite upgrades. Will it still be 'qualifying' if I do manage to upgrade it?
Oh, and when is best to apply for the challenge for my late September 'plan'?
The stays I have booked via 3rd parties have been upgradable, but I always include my GP# and the reservation shows up on my Hyatt account the day after I make the res with the 3rd party. I think all 3rd party res that are eligible for GP points/stays are also eligible for suite upgrade using the Dia certs.
The nights will definitely still be qualifying when using a Dia upgrade.
