Hi All,
i understand that the signup ends on April 30th 2014. I have a vacation coming up in May and wanted the diamond status for the same. Since the challenge is only valid for 60 days, i was waiting to sign up.
My question now is, is it too late to signup for the challenge? If i do signup on Let's say April 1st, will i maintain the diamond status for 60 days starting April 1st? or will it end on April 30th?
Also, what documents would they need to prove my Hilton gold status? I do have hilton gold status due to my citi hilton card, i also have 4 hilton stays in last six months but that was not how i got my hilton gold status...does this matter?

A couple of days after starting the Challenge you should see the 4 suite upgrades hit your account. If you want to use them you should call Hyatt to apply them to existing bookings (paid only)
All you need to provide is a screenshot of your HHonors account showing Gold and some stays.

As a data point I sent a email yesterday and was approved this morning and checked around noon and it said I was Diamond. Now here's hoping the corporate rate doesn't mess up my stay over the next few months. Will knock out 4 this week.

On the left side of the page when you log into your account at Hyatt.com, it shows the number of eligible nights. If a night is eligible, it should show up there. I am not 100% sure as I never really paid attention to that side of the page and I'm also on day #2 of my challenge. Good luck!

A few questions...your help would be appreciated!
1. I have business travel coming up, have yet to sign up for the trial though, if i book before I start my trial (at a hyatt through my corporate web site) can I add my GP later and get credit for the stay as part of the trial?
2. Haven't done a lot of travel yet this year, only have one stay under my PC plat and one upcoming stay under my HHonors diamond, I plan to travel much more later in the year, do you think they will approve me for a trial?
Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know if there's supposed to be a private Diamond rep that you can email or do I just send a normal message using the CONTACT US form at Hyatt's GP page?

Dear Hyatt Team, Currently, I am an IHG Platinum Member, I am interested in taking my business elsewhere. I’m a big fan of Hyatt Gold Passport and the Hyatt hotel chain; I am currently a Hyatt Gold Passport Platinum Member. Hyatt Gold Passport# XXX I have stayed at IHG Properties in 2013, but I am interested in utilizing Hyatt full time for my business travel in 2014 as well as for my honeymoon this summer. I was wondering if I could be granted a Hyatt Diamond Trial for 60 days. Please see the attached screenshot showing my IHG Platinum Status. Would you be able to expedite this request if possible since I have extensive business travel during the upcoming season. Thank you very much. Sincerely,

Thanks - I should know next weekend. Not hopeful as the rate drops from $219 to $111 when I put the corporate rate in on the website. Wondering if I wouldn't of been better off calling in the reservation or if it would of made a difference. Would be nice as I should be able to get the 12 easy over the next 60 days. There's a Hyatt Place I could of utilized to get 4 night at $67+taxes over spring break for personal stays which would of only left 8. I'll cover 7 of those over the next two weeks.

No.... only 6 nights/1 stay credit. You get points for both rooms though...
