I'm sure this has been asked several times, but didn't see it in the wiki but just want to confirm that cash and points stays count for the challenge.
Does it say that anywhere in writing?
Thanks!

Arg, I am clearly an idiot because I forgot about the fact that some months have more days than others! I started the challenge on July 22 and was planning on checking out of my last stay on September 22. Guess I have to go back and replan that. Thankfully I am still reading this thread!

this guy says it counts because it's in the T&C. The wiki above makes no mention of Points+Cash. I feel that the wiki should address this -- as well as "Government Rate"

Sorry if this may have been asked before but cant find the info. If I use my account to book cash+points bookings for others while doing the challenge, would that count towards completing the 12 night Diamond challenge requirement?
I'm planning a 6 night trip to Andaz Maui where would be needing 2 rooms all with points+cash, where I'd stay in one room and my parents in law in the other.
Or is it allowed for both rooms to be booked in my name only and then I'd be credited for all 12 units purchased?

Question about the challenge.
My 12th night on the challenge will be on a 1 day paid, 2 days free (via Hyatt card) stay. Checkout for the three nights is AFTER the challenge ends. (The paid stay will be night 59 of my challenge)
Should I break the reservation up into two so the 1 night paid stay is by itself to make sure that it counts? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Glad you're interested! The situation you've described should post properly to the trial if you leave it be. If it doesn't automatically post to the trial because the check-out date is outside the bounds of the trial dates, that's something we'd be able to manually override (provided the eligible night was within the trial dates, of course). Hope this helps!
Safe travels,

Does it mean there is NO SUITE upgrade at all at the mentioned properties?
Thanks.

What documentation do I need to ask for the challenge? Will a screenshot of the main page of my Hilton Diamond account suffice??
