I am nowhere close to making Diamond (Zero stays this year). I had been concentrating on making platinum in Starwood, but the St. Louis hotels are just too incovenient until the Westin opens. Is there a Metrolink or something I could take?
I asked Hyatt if they would "fast-track" me to Diamond and they said that all they could do was comp me to the level I attained in another program.
I would think they would want the 20-plus nights I would give them in the next 2 months, plus my future exclusive business (40 plus nights annually) if I was allowed to fast-track diamond. Maybe they think I'm going to just stay there anyway, which isn't the case. I like having an incentive to direct my business somewhere.
Unless Hyatt allows me to fast-track, I think I will likely just stay at the Omni Majestic most of the time. Although their Select Guest program is far more amorphous than other programs, I often get suprised by complimentary things.
