Am already Platinum with IHG, but I've heard one must purchase their highest status (Ambassador)--is that so?

Any other chains I've left out who might match my Hyatt Diamond status? Nothing on the Hyatt web site indicates the status is temporary...

Also, will any airlines match my Hyatt Diamond status? I have no Elite status with any of the major airlines at present. So this would be great to get a match.

If you only have a few paid stays coming up, why would you want the match? As far as I know, any status match that you make is going to be a once in a lifetime match - basically ruining your chances of doing it at some point in the future when you might find it more precious.

Just my two cents.
