4 years ago, I received Diamond Status as part of a matching status request. I stayed at the Hyatt for 10 months - every week, Monday through Friday. At the end of my stay, I started travelling to a city that did not have a Hyatt.

I really enjoyed staying at Hyatts and am now finally working in a city for the next 15 months that has a Hyatt. I requested a Diamond status once again and was told that they wouldn't upgrade me again since they've already done so once.

So, I understand making the status something someone has to earn and such - -but as a result of this, I'll just continue staying at Starwood and Hyatt will get NONE of the estimated 250 nights I'll be travelling over the next 15 months. Yes, I realize this won't do much to the hotel's bottom line, but I think this is a foolish business practice on their part.

Please tell me where I'm wrong.
