Oh dear. It seems that through not reading this thread properly I may have suffered from premature status matching. (That's what happens when you get over excited... or so I'm told.) I will now complete 12 nights stay within my Diamond status window but not within 60 days of obtaining it. 
What is confusing is that I received a mail urging me to take advantage of my new status. But first it says:
Well, that's clear enough. But later on in the same mail it says:
Is there a glimmer of hope here? My 60 days will be up more than 2 weeks before July 31.
Guess I will have to wait and see. Would be a pity if I miss out because of a miscalculation. I was rather hoping this would be the start of a beautiful relationship with Hyatt.
What is confusing is that I received a mail urging me to take advantage of my new status. But first it says:
Don't forget to take advantage of Diamond membership during your 60-day trial period.
To maintain your Diamond status through February 2016, simply stay 12 eligible nights by July 31, 2014.

If that's what your mail says, then that's the deal that Hyatt should honor.

Suite Upgrades
Hi All:
My apologies if this has been answered in this thread already... I just sent my email requesting the challenge and received a response (below) which makes no mention of the 4 suite upgrades you get during the challenge. Is this something Hyatt is no longer offering during the challenge?
Thanks in advance!

Hyatt House
Thank you guys for your responses to my question about the Suite Upgrades.. I have one more question, if you could be so kind to provide guidance...
If I were to stay at a Hyatt House as a diamond member, which I presume doesn't have a club level, do I still get the bonus 1,000 points? Or is that only rewarded at hotels that do have the club when the club is unavailable?
Thanks!

Welcome Snakes!? I never got any of those!
Haha j/k
I just completed my diamond challenge! Status through Feb. 2016 woohoo!
Anyways...for anyone considering the challenge, your benefits as a diamond are pretty clearly stated on the Hyatt GP website...(and in the wiki at the top of this forum..)
You're a diamond (including DSU) while you are on the challenge and the only difference outside of that is the 1k pts for the first 6 nights.

Eligible vs ineligble rates conference rates
All,
I was about to sign up for the status match, as I have Marriott Gold, and will be staying a Hyatt property in August for over 2 weeks, but has a question about "eligible" stays. I will be attending a conference, and there is a conference rate-does that mean those stays don't count? Per promotion "“Ineligible Rates” are discounted rates including...contracted rooms (a contract room is a room that has been reserved pursuant to a written and executed agreement between a hotel and a corporation, government agency or individual for a negotiated room rate in exchange for an agreed upon number of rooms to be rented for an extended period of time)."
Anyone use conference rates before?
Thank you in advance

I could swear that I read somewhere in one of the threads that discusses achieving Diamond status that it is a wise idea to contact Hyatt to make sure that they have your Diamond status in your reservations after you reach it. I believe I read that Hyatt reservations shows your status based on when you made the reservation and not your current status.
Is this right or am I mistaken and confusing this with something else?
I just don't want to be a dork and call Hyatt to ask them about this and have them be mystified about my phone call...I'd like to act my status with them, if possible
