Completed my challenge
Just wanted to report that I completed my challenge. It started on 3 December, so scooting in at the last minute.
My last needed qualifying night posted yesterday. I emailed cust svc and after some wrangling about whether I had 11 or 12 nights, they just responded that 12 nights are confirmed as qualifying and all is good.
Thanks to FT for having this posted. The combo of Starwood, Hyatt, and Choice (oddly there are no Starwoods or Hyatts in Andalusia, Alabama, which is tonight's destination) now has me well covered over the US/Canada. I'm on the road 365 nights a year and this is just ducky. Quack!

About to start the diamond trial on 2/21 and with the last night (day 60) being 4/21 I was wondering how that works.
What counts as 1 night? Midnight OR check out? So, if I check out on 4/22 (day #61), is 4/21 then not a qualified night for the trial?
Do the "Elite Rate" rates count towards the Diamond Trial?

^Anyone know the above answers?
Also, another questoin....if I book 2 rooms as a Diamond, do the guests in that second room get Diamond benefits (most specifically looking for breakfast), too?

As indicated in the FAQs sticky, Hyatt T&Cs only call for status perks on one room, but most properties will extend benefits to a second room (I've been denied once in 12 years at one property out of about 10 multi room stays).

Elite Rates does count as part of your Challenge.
