Sorry, but your frustration is because you simply didn't do your homework in time. This thread has several quotes from which programs Hyatt will match. And those are all US based programs... Can't really blame them for not matching Accor and Club Carlson, everybody is Gold or Platinum with them. Most without ever staying.
Without showing major stays with the competition who can blame them for following the, already generous, rules of the Diamond challenge.
So just do a few stays with Hilton to get gold and you're set. Plenty of time until NYE :-).
