In my experience properties know your current status and act accordingly. Only if you have achieved status just before a stay a gentle reminder might be to your advantage since some properties allocate rooms a day or maybe two in advance.
For the rest it's an automated process...

I have received my Diamond package today before completing the challenge. Good until 2016.
This isn't normal, is it?
Not that I am complaining.

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

I did the status match May 1, 2014 and had several reservations already in the system from before I was diamond. When I called in, they checked my reservations and told me my new status had automatically updated and no additional action was necessary.

hi guys, sorry if this is similar to another question...
just signed up for the diamond challenge...
i got an upcoming stay at the andaz Maui for 5 nights (2 cash and points , 2 chase certificates and one full points).
my understanding i will be treated like a diamond...which i will receive full breakfast offering for that time.
my question is about using the suite upgrade. i read its only to 'paid' stays so that would count toward my two cash and points? what about the 3 other nights?
what is the best way to take advantage of the diamond challenge for my upcoming stay?
thanks,

There's alway a chance they will let you stay in the same room/suite, but don't count on it...

I highly doubt that with only 2 paid out of 5 nights you will get a suite for 5 nights. But you can always try, especially when there is low occupancy. You will only get a confirmed suite upgrade for 2 when the paid nights are concurrent...

You read correctly - it used to be that status gets attached at reservation and not updated. Recent reports though seem to indicate that status is correctly reflected at checkin. So probably no need to call especially for run of the mill properties where Diamond gets you club access / breakfast since these can be added to any room. However, if your stay is at a property where Diamonds usually get a much better room than non Diamonds, it couldn't hurt to call.
Thrilled that I've switched from Starwood -- Hyatt's program is just so much better!

I just got confirmation of my Diamond Challenge, but it said that (after passing the challenge) my status would expire Feb 2015. Do you think it was a typo (maybe a copy and paste from a previous email from earlier in the year)? I was expecting Feb 2016, as others have reported lately, and as I expected based on how challenges work with other programs.
By the way, some have reported that their tier status already said it would expire Feb 2016, but mine says Aug 2014.
edit: I emailed Hyatt CS and they responded with a few minutes (wow) that it should be Feb 2016.

I shared my same experience in this thread, and simply called to have HGP send a new email stating Feb 2016.
