I just got a second diamond challenge (after falling back to Platinum) from my original diamond challenge 2 years ago. Just like any status match, the key is to show past and future stays with other brands that have significant value. Lets say, 6 nights at the Conrad Maldives in peak season worth $15,000. GP weren't to know that this was a actually 200,000 HH points stay I made before the devaluation, since all they could see was the property and duration in the screen dump I forwarded. The prospect of my moving this reservation to the Park Hyatt Maldives clearly swayed their opinion, although I have no intention of changing it over!
Better still, I get another 4 suite upgrades this year on top of the 4 earlier this year which were well used at the end of February.

Although Diamond Challenges were usually once-in-a-lifetime, they seemingly let everyone start with a clean sheet after the June 30 switchover to the "new" challenges and have been issuing challenges to people who have previously tried them.
And the only criteria for the Diamond Challenge is the necessary tier status, with at least one stay recorded and showing on the online screenshot (and doesn't matter at all whether it's a Garden Inn, Conrad or the Waldorf).

I failed my first Diamond Challenge last October. Are you saying if I request one now, I'll be offered the challenge?

That is my understanding, and corrobated by a number of people on a different forum that I frequent. The pre-June 2013 challenges are disregarded for the purposes of post-June 2013 challenges.

I was told that you can do a new trial once a new trial starts. Such as Hyatt Diamond Trial 2012 / then 2013 (current) - cut off June 1st.
It used to be once a life time but I guess not anymore.

A question for recent status matchers. How long does the trial Diamond status last in your account? Although it is 60 days for accruing eligible stays the status used to last until the end of that month after 60 days. Is it still true? For example, if I ask for a status challenge today, will I have Diamond status until the end of Sep or is it only until today+60 days?

End of the month containing the 60th day. Although anecdotally, it seems to take even more time after that for the status to drop down.

Will Accor Platinum status make me eligible for the Hyatt diamond challenge? Or, instead of asking here, should I just try it and see what Hyatt says?

You only had to do 10 stays for the Diamond challenge? Mine was 12 and I just started June 28 of this year. Strange.

I thought you don't get stay/night credit if you book via 3rd party. I doubt you'll get it for the challenge.

i thought you did get stay/night credit if 3rd party wasn't special discounted rate. but, for purposes of the challenge, it's not a risk i was wanting to take without asking.
