At any rate, I just can't believe this. Oh well, guess the answer is that one should grab while the grabbing is good. I did do a Marriott/Ritz Platinum Challenge right before they stopped doing instant status matches (8 stays in 4 months) and they have been getting all of my business, and instead of going to a bed and breakfast in Santo Domingo I will be going to the SDQ Renaissance whenever I can. They treat me very nicely, without it feeling phony.
Hang on, are you saying Hyatt are no longer offering the Diamond Challenge?
