like someone above said, this isn't 1988- we can all see others being treated better than ourselves and creates bad will. i had many stays planned as i bounce around asia that can just as easily be with other programs (mostly spg).

and the 'promotion' they've offered some platinums of 10 stays for diamond is akin to calling them stupid. anyone with zero stays and zero existing loyalty/relationship can do a diamond challenge and get diamond benefits, bonus and suite upgrades from stay 1, along with an extra 1000 points the first 5 stays. yeah... that diamond 'promo' is stellar hyatt. thanks for thinking your platinums are morons.
