That would be really stinky - that would be two devals in about 6-8 months.
Lol - This would mean I have some reservations that would have increased point requirement twice between when I made the reservation and stay at the hotel.
Please hyatt, don't start doing this every year (or even more frequent than that based on the hunch below).

Reading the posts, there are a lot of us waiting to see what happens. Like most "veterans" we already have our Diamond quotas for this year, seems the logical thing to do is book SPG for January, although ShangriLa are becoming pro active and within Asia, we were staggered to get prompts from FS even the Peninsula group. There is a rumour that our points will be devalued on the top notch Hyatts, so it might be time to use some of the hard earned nights.

Hyatt's comment on Winter Promo Question
I saw this on Hyatt's Facebook page and thought others may be interested:
Question posted:
Any new promos not tied to specific hotels?
Hyatt Gold Passport response:
We don't have any details to share just yet - stay tuned for information in the upcoming weeks.

I don't follow. Diamond status is renewed based on calendar year. So while the diamond status theoreitically ends end of Feb, you start accruing towards renewal starting Jan 1. So why would you do SPG instead of Hyatt?

Screw it
SPG gets my Q1 business.
I need to retain my SPG Platinum, might as well start building stays when Hyatt has nothing cooking.
I would hate to need 5 or 6 stays at SPG in Q4 when/if Hyatt has a ffn running.

Ditto.
Marriott: I'll do four paid nights to get two Cat 4 carts.
Priority Club: I might throw 'em two Saturday night stays when I'm in Dallas...plenty of cheap but tolerable properties that'll lead to a nice Crack the Case bonus.
SPG: everything else...especially since most of my stays are Fri/Sat cheap one-nighters.
I should be able to requal SPG Plat by midyear and be set up to make a late-year Marriott Plat challenge run (18 nights in final quarter seems to be their typical requal challenge).

In the past the GP Concierge let us know before a promotion was announced when the announcement would be made. Since we haven't heard I would assume an announcement is not imminent.
