I`ve called German CS and he said he would phone the US-CS.As I`m Diamond until 2/2011,will I see any hint in my account that I`m really signed up for that promotion?Because being Diamond now means that there will be no change of status for this year.
Thanks for a helpful answer!

Platinum upgrade to Daimond
Would just add that I was a already a Platiunum member heading into 2010(I only travel for lesuire); and took the advice to try and get Hyatt to upgrade me to Diamond.
Interestingly enough, when I called Hyatt, they 'enrolled me' but just in the sense that I was on the fast track to qualify for Diamond status in 180 days.
However, taking the advice of others, I emailed Hyatt, asking for instant Diamond status. They replied within 15 minutes, and gave me the upgrade.
Thanks to that email, I just used one of the 4 suite upgrades, for my upcoming 7 night stay in Maui. That sinlge email saved me several thousand dollars (for a suite that I never would have booked otherwise).
Thanks everyone in this forum, and to Hyatt!

May I ask what e-mail address you used? Did you mention the trial code DMTRIAL09 in your e-mail, or just asked to enroll in the diamond trial program? I'm trying to advise one of my colleagues - I did mine successfully over the phone, but it definitely takes longer to call than shooting over an e-mail.

Currently diamond but I have some longer stays coming up and wanted to use this to re-qualify since it counts nights and I don't want to keep switching hotels each night after the FFN's promotion ends.
I just called CS and was told that I couldn't sign up for this because I am already diamond.
Based on posts above, it looks like she was wrong and that you CAN use this to re-qualify til 2012 unless something has changed. Have any diamonds done this recently, and if so did you just call the normal CS#?

New q's...
My account shows the four upgrades (after receiving the the Diamond Trial) and I was wondering:
1.) When do they expire? At end of calendar year?
2.) When I achieve my 15 nights will I get four more? If so, when and when will they expire?
Additionally, I will probably use one of my four upgrade certs soon, to see how well the process & result goes.
Any recommendations for properties on the east coast that usually have nice upgrades? The DC to NY corridor works best, but I would consider anything from Miami to Boston.
Thanks!

2. If you requalify this year (for 2011), you will get 4 more 3/1/11 with an expiration of 2/29/2012. Not sure if you get to 15 nights you'll get 4 more since your Diamond status still expires 2/11 I believe.

[QUOTE=peteropny;13830345]1. If its the same as those Diamonds who requalified - 2/28/11

Uh-oh...I was under the impression that if I got the 15+ nights in 180 days, I'd be Diamond until Feb 2012. Anyone have the definite answer? I'll see if I can find any e-mails from Hyatt...
