That's right. I registered on 31/10! and my date to complete challenge is 30/12. The date was actually spelt out in the confirmation email from Hyatt GP. All 12 nights have been booked.

I am currently participating in the Diamond Challenge with an expiry date of Nov 27. I was able to get 7 nights in by mid-October but then my project went on a hiatus so I won't be travelling again until January.

I am SPG Plat but since staying at the Hyatt, I've found it to be a much better overall experience. I plan to stay 100+ nights in 2015 and would prefer it to be with Hyatt but not if I have to earn status the hard way.

Has anyone tried to ask for an exception to the challenge t&c in this circumstance? I'd be more than willing to complete a new challenge in 2015 (whenever it starts up again).

Your best bet is going to be spending 5 nights at a category 1 or 2 hotel if you have one nearby. Hopefully you can find a P&C rate so you're only out $50/$55 per night plus some points. Get some bookings made as you're getting close to the deadline.

That's the spirit we all have come to love.... please stay with SPG, the Hyatt benefits are hardly worth bothering spending another 5 nights.

2 Rooms

Does anyone know if having 2 rooms booked on the same reservation for 3 nights count as 6 of the required 12 nights for the challenge, or would it only count 1 room (3 nights of the required 12)?

Does cash and points qualify as an eligible night for the Diamond challenge?

There is no Diamond Challenge.

Sorry, if you're still on the old one, the answer is yes.

Any updates on this?
I have some travels in Jan/Feb 2015 and would like to status match for fast track to Hyatt Diamond.

I was waiting for a period where I can confidently fulfill the challenge, and the timing of the status match withdrawal is unfortunate.

I hope there is still a case by case basis for approval in the interim period until the new official challenge is out.
