Firstly, thank for so much for taking the time to read this -- I do appreciate it.

I just wanted to ask FTers some advice about whether the following would be worth my while -- I'm just not sure how frequently at the moment the new WoH is accepting status match requests, that;s all:

• I am currently Hilton Diamond (expiring this month), Accor Platinum (expiring this month) and IHG Spire Ambassador (till Dec 2017), and SPG Gold.

I just wondered, with my statuses at the above hotels, whether it's worth my while getting in touch with Hyatt, and what the email address might be status match requests?

I have two stays in a Hyatt in Kyoto, Japan upcoming this year -- one next month -- and I was quite keen to get an improved status (I am "Member" now), but wasn't sure whether WoH was acquiescing to status match requests at the moment? For what it is worth, I was Hyatt Platinum until a month ago before the new WoH came in.

Again, thank you for reading this!
