But only doing so by being especially strategic with your day-to-day itineraries rather than through TP running, and I'd also no longer credit any flights to CX's FF scheme when these can be credited to the BAEC. More importantly than anything, however, I'd also be making sure to take regular checkups with a health care professional!

It's all possible if you have your heart into it.

I have done 18,000 TP in 9 months and will be LTG in 2 weeks time for which I am short of 200 TP.

Aim high and you will get there!

I am Lifetime SPG Platinum and Marriott Platinum and around half way through to earning my Lifetime Hyatt Diamond so this will happen eventually over the next 8-10 years for which I am comfortable in achieving this.

I find way too many people whining about the qualification criteria for Hyatt's Lifetime requirements. It's like those that want to get upgraded to Business or First Class all the time without paying for it. It's simple, if you want it, then pay for it. The same rule applies to Lifetime Diamond with Hyatt. Want it, then qualify for it by spending USD 200,000.

Happy 2014 everyone!

I am hoping to bring this to 300 nights to go by end of this year.

I am slowing getting to my goal for which I am estimating it should take around 4-5 years to complete.

Every dollar spent either by staying, dining or indulging in spa therapy counts towards the 1 million base points to achieve the Hyatt Gold Passport Lifetime Diamond.

Does anyone know if the account reflects Lifetime Diamond status on the website and mobile app?

How long does it take for the system to update the status from Diamond to Lifetime Diamond?
