I got comped in nov. as a tier swich from Ramda, but it was only till 2/01. Then Hyatt wrote me in 2/01 and said I could get a year more to earn Diamond if I gave them 20,000 Hyatt points. I did and I am. I don't know why they did it this way vs. a year/plus comp.

dingbatcat: I made the same experience. Comped to Diamond in July because of SPG Plat, but only until 02/01. Not, I am Plat. Offered the 20.000 points deal, too. But I calculated, how many Suite Upgrades I can buy with that, 2,5 to be exactly. Due to my Amex Centurion Card, I get RC Upgrade at time of booking in Germany anyway, so its not worth to "pay" 20.000 points for Diamond.

I was also comped to Diamond last summer, but they had told me I would be Diamond thru 2/02. When I got the Platinum credentials for this year, I called back to customer service. It took a couple of tries (first time, I was asked to fax a copy of SPG Platinum card,b but had no response), but I have now been extended Diamond status thru 2/02.

What is your expiry date on your new diamond card?

Interesting. Tried to get the Diamond status based on being Platinum for last 5 years and my pattern showing that I would make Diamond in the next 4 months.
I received a form e-mail asking me to send proof of top level in Starwood or equiv.
I have now taken my business elsewhere . Shame , as the A/P Hyatts are quite good, but - guess what- the InterCon is about a third cheaper in Sing and twice as friendly!

Sending a recent statement with a short note via fax is not that difficult, especially considering the comped status you might receive.

I don't have an equiv with other hotel chains as I have tried to stay loyal to Hyatt. My point was that I had been at platinum level with Hyatt for a fair number of years and I was on track this year to make Diamond, so I asked for consideration to be granted D status earlier.
No go. made it easier to look elsewhere, tho the A/P Hyatt hotels ARE really nice.!
