Problem here though, is that the accompanying T&Cs state quite clearly 'Platinum' status, and that the T&Cs allows Hyatt the right to change the Terms and Conditions of whats offered here anytime.

I think legally, the party is over unfortunately.
At the same token the LS offer had nothing to do with FPC.
There was a lot of drama that weekend but it was the pressure applied that got it honored. Ric Garido and I wrote about some of the behind the scenes on our sites.

I think the same lesson can be used here.
