I'm kind of hoping Hyatt will re-introduce a Diamond Status match (or even a challenge!) like they did last year. Unfortuntately I missed out on that but this year I'm a few days away from SPG Plat so would love to match that to Hyatt Diamond. I'm also wishfully hoping for this as I have a vacation planned for Christmas that will take me to Hyatt Ziva Cancun, Park Hyatt New York and Andaz New York. Would love to be a Diamond at these properties rather than a lowly Plat.
It will be interesting to see if Hyatt jumps back into having much more lucrative promotions than it has had since the elimination of the FFN/stay-twice-get-a-night-free promos.
