Does promo count checking out Feb 1st?

I will be checking out Feb 1st - will it count for this promo?

I noticed the many questions asking about Dia matching or challenge. I remember reading many post in Dec that swored off Hyatt or not willing to go the extra few stays to requalify for Diamond. Lots of second guessing now

No it doesn't since you're not staying the night of 2/1.

Hyatt Diamond expiring

My Diamond status expires at the end of next month. Does anyone know if they would let me in on a challenge to extend for another year with 12 stays in 60 days I've seen others talk about.

I'd like to start it now with the Costco rate still alive.

I do have Royal Ambassador status through this year but only Hilton Gold.

I'm in the same boat, but I just got shot down on my attempt. See below.

Did you have status with another Hotel chain? If so, did you ask for a trial? I'm surprised to see that you got rejected since others got the trial this month

Gold with HH & SPG. I'll still make Diamond with stays, but it won't be until late in 2012.

I just requested and was approved for a Diamond Challenge yesterday. My account reflected the new status today. I also received 4 suite upgrades (very generous) which has an expiration date of 2/29/12. I know the upgrades will be valid beyond that date but I will only have 2 1/2 weeks to make my reservations before the upgrades expires. Is this normal? I am new to Hyatt but seriously considering moving some stays over from Hilton.

You should get another set of 4 suite upgrades in March which will expire 2/28/13.

You can also apply the upgrade certs to a reservation after 2-29-12, but the reservation must be booked by this date, and no changes can be made to the dates.
