Based on the official post above (sticky), I see that the current Diamond Trial promotion ends April 30, 2014. I was actually planning to start the trial on April 19, 2014 and try to do the 60 days challenge, but it looks like I will only be able to do this for about 10 days since the trial promo ends on April 30?!

Thanks guys, last question!
I"m a US GOV employee and can use a GOV rate when booking Hyatts. If I joined the trial, would my stays count for the challenge if I book under a GOV rate?

But the My Elite Rate would probably be better anyway...

So, 12 nights in 60 days. That is NIGHTS, not stays, right? No reading between the lines here. I arrive on a Friday evening/night, sleep, and then depart on a Saturday morning..that counts as ONE night...correct? Double checking before I embark on this journey!
#1071
Yep... Not much flexibility in the night definition . 12 nights is what it takes to complete the challenge succesfully, doesn't matter how many stays you need.

Has anyone requested the Diamond challenge this week? I emailed my request Monday morning with screenshots of my Hilton and SPG Gold, but no response yet. I called GP and they said they were very busy at the moment, which may slow down responses.

That long? Wow, good to know. I was planning to email them the day before my first hotel night and request it be started the next day. Guess I should jump on this way before my departure date.

Guys, I can't get myself to try to do the challenge the more I think about it. I do have to legitimately stay at a Hyatt (personal, not business) for 7 days within the 60 day window, but I don't know how I'll do the 5 additional days without throwing money away. It SEEMS the only real reason why I want Diamond is for the breakfasts, lol. If that's the case, perhaps I should just stick with my Hilton Gold membership.
Thoughts?

But, everyone has to make that decision for themselves. Or, you could just enjoy Diamond status for the two months of the trial and then be done with it. Your call.

I've been looking into Hilton, and not sure how it could even come close to Hyatt, except perhaps for the sheer coverage hotels throughout regions. Yes, you get breakfast with the Gold, but if that's all you want, you are indeed missing out.
I suggest trying out your 7 nights at the front end of your Challenge, leaving enough flexibility for another 5 nights in case you want to complete the Challenge. The point is to try and taste to see if its good.

But I do think Diamond status is roughly worth at least $1250 (minimum of $250 for the free breakfasts, $750 for confirmed suite upgrades, and $250 for standard room upgrades).

Also keep in mind the 1000 points per stay amenity available to Diamonds, and the extra 1000 points per night bonus for the first six nights of the challenge.

I emailed them Wednesday night with my marriott info attached as a PDF and heard back Wednesday around noon advising me to email them when I want to start.
