Can an ex-diamond apply for the challenge? I will be making at least 12 nights of stays in August this year and would like to give it a go to fast-track back to diamond.

I don't think that there's any requirement to have never been a Diamond in the past, only that you can make the challenge only once per account. If you made it before without using the challenge, then I assume that you could still do so now.

I think it has been discussed before, it is not sure when the changeover is being done, estimates are around June/July. If you complete the challenge now, you status will be valid until FEB 14.

I read somewhere that May 31 is the critical date.

Stated differently, diamond earned from status after that date goes for additional months that same year plus all 12 for the following year.

It's definitely not May 31 - like I posted earlier it's August / September

I was actually under the impression that May 31 was the "cut off" too. Well, in other words, if you start your Diamond Trial on June 1 you are getting the MAXIMUM amount of time as a Diamond, should you complete the trial successfully. You get June and July as a Trial Diamond, then you get the rest of 2013 AND 2014 as a Diamond if you are successful.

It was a response to one of my emails to Hyatt Gold Passport that made me see it this way:

"Thank you for contacting Hyatt Gold Passport; I appreciate the
opportunity to assist you.

Per your request, the present Diamond Trial offer will expire on May 31,
2013. We have not been informed if a new Diamond Trial offer will be
available after that date."

I want to apply for the Hyatt visa soon but would also like to maximize the status match period - tough call as a mid-May match that is completed in July might not take me into 2015. I guess we can wait to see if the Diamond Trial will continue after May 31.

Does anyone know if you have to book your stays through hyatt, for the stays to qualify for the challenge or can you book them through third parties, expedia/Travel republic etc?

They must be booked through Hyatt. Third party websites do not even class as a stay as far as I am aware.
