I don't have any recent stays at Hilton properties, and I only have 4 at Marriott. Can anyone suggest a way of getting Hyatt Diamond?

I'd like Diamond status to (hopefully) get a suite upgrade at the Grand Hyatt Seattle during a five day trip (which I'll be funding with my CSP and Freedom signup bonuses).
