Follow Up on Challenge and Credit Card
I read the answers to this above and have a couple of questions about getting the Chase credit card in conjunction with the trial.
I'm platinum right now, and if I get the card, I get 2 free nights + 2 free upgrades (good for up to 7 nights each I think).
If I hold off till I start the trial, then I get two free nights in a Suite. Seems like it is better to get the card while Platinum... am I missing something? Are there some details that I am not realizing?

First, as a current Plat member, here's what I think I will get if I apply for the Hyatt credit card as a Plat vs. after starting the diamond challenge:
Platinum: 2 free rooms; 2 suite upgrades
Diamond: 2 free suites; 4 suite upgrades
Am I correct?
Second, I understand that the 4 suite upgrades one gets for the Diamond challenge generally need to be used (i.e. booked) during the trial period if one fails the challenge. However, if I fail the challenge, I would still be Platinum so would I still be able to use the upgrades? Are these Diamond challenge suite upgrades different than the suite upgrades a Platinum member gets from the Hyatt credit card?
Thanks!

Hi!
Platinum members receive two free nights in a standard room and two suite upgrade certificates. If you're Diamond when approved for the Hyatt Card, you receive two free nights in a suite.
When you do a Diamond challenge and fail to meet the stay requirements, you still retain the four Diamond suite upgrade certificates.
Hope this helps!

When you get approved for the challenge -- however, they were willing to start my challenge when I was ready (they said to e-mail them a few days before my first stay as it takes a few business days for the challenge to kick in). I didn't get the exact date I wanted but it was a nice touch.

Finished my challenge, and even got the congrats you're diamond til 2014 email. When and should I expect a diamond amenity pack? What else do you get other than a shiny diamond membership card, luggage tags, etc?

If someone starts a challenge on or after Feb 1, 2013 and achieve it, will his membership be extended until Feb 2015 or just Feb 2014 ?

Just 02/2014... the tipping point seems to be somewhere in June/July.

Is it wiser to wait until May 2013 to start a Challenge? So that I'd get the Diamond status till February 2015 (instead of Feb 2014 if I started it right now)?
Or did I miss something about this "cut-off" time?

Thanks everyone for the informative posts.
I have what I am afraid is a silly question. I am having a terrible time finding a "statement" or anything on SPG's website that is easily "e-mail-able" to prove that I am platinum. Looking to start the challenge at the end of the week. Anyone know what Hyatt will find to be acceptable proof that I am indeed SPG Platinum? Thanks!
