baliktad is correct - also, the PH SYD is one of the properties where the Confirmed Diamond Suite Upgrade is not accepted anyways.

Diamond Suite Upgrades are only valid on paid room rates. As Hyatt Stay Certificates do not fluctuate in price with room rates, they are considered vouchers that are redeemed for a room (similar to an award reservation). As such, room nights reserved with Hyatt Stay Certificates are not eligible for Diamond Suite Upgrades.
To qualify for credit, the rooms must be booked as an eligible rate, as defined in the Hyatt GP T&C's. Expedia and other third party rates are not eligible rates for stay/night credit, GP points, and Diamond Trial qualification.

In terms of eligible rates, I would imagine that corporate rates with Hyatt do qualify?

Diamond status and benefits would apply (upgrades is possible). Corp rates with Hyatt qualify as eligible rates.

Yes, but this is one property where fighting for the 'best available room' benefit is worth it. On my last stay I called the US Diamond Line who on the day of arrival to force this benefit, when their reservations department tried to tell me I was only entitled to a lower category room than the best available room.

I called GP today to ask about a Diamond fast track. I'm changing jobs and won't be traveling as much. She said there was nothing available yet for 2012 but to call back later. I hope something does come up, I don't want to lose Diamond!

I requested a diamond challenge on Jan 2 and received it by jan 3, 2012, saying if I complete 12 nights within 60 days I will be diamond through feb, 2013. I also received the upgrade certs, which are valid until feb 29, 2012. My question is would they expire on feb 29, 2012, would they be extended, or would I receive 4 more certs valid until feb 2013?
