Just went and checked. Joined Hyatt Gold Passport in February of 1990 and have had some sort of status since and Diamond during at least 10 of the years though not consecutively. I have 1,354,952 lifetime points earned. It seems as if I must have passed the 1 million base points after a 17-day stay at the Grand Hyatt in New York during the U.S. Open tennis last year. My next stay after that was when I checked into the San Diego Andaz and was welcomed as "lifetime Diamond." But I'm just not sure how to figure out how the 1,354,952 lifetime points earned breaks down.
To do this takes some considerable spending as previously shared in this thread!

I also am curious: please post the results. ^

Well, luckily most of the spending was not mine! I have a couple of newspaper sports departments to thank. Just wish more Hyatts accepted pets.

I'll try to figure out how to do that this weekend. I'm a total idiot about figuring this sort of numbers-based stuff out! And, this is probably going to embarrass me in front of many wiser people but I have never used Excel. I'll go off in my corner now and see if I can sort all this out.

It seems as if, out of my 1.342 million lifetime points, 1,000,727 are base points. Not totally vouching for the absolute accuracy, but I think it's pretty close. Not sure whether that's something to be proud of or not

Unfortunately we will have to wait till Monday to get further clarification from a long time GP manager.
The training and support from Hyatt Gold Passport is very weak typically on weekends accept for booking basic reservations by phone
We can have the official and final word on the subject we all want to be aware of ^
Thanks for your patience

Calling for clarification? Ugh. Here's a quick way to shut down what is (was) possibly a nice feature. Though since I already made it to lifetime, I suppose the less the merrier...too bad for others though. This could just be manually checked without the need for GP management intervention by someone who has a card (A) inquiring of a GP agent their lifetime base points balance (which any agent can tell you within 30 seconds) and (B) comparing that to what you derive using the Excel method.
Like it or not we live in the most transparent world than ever before
Many of the corporate folks from every Hotel Company and airline read our thoughts on a daily basis even if they aren't responding..........
Some of the negative or positive changes came as a result of all of us posting right here on FT or other public forum..........
Just my own thoughts.

Its less secrets that items overlooked or not prioritized by programs to address. Once items are heavily used or raised to high management attention they do get shut down. So I agree with the last poster that its unfortunate for others that this gets elevated. Perhaps they meant CC spends to be in base points like AA does. But if not, raising it up to high level will certainly kill it.
Unfortunately there are very few secrets here in social media @:-)

I believe none the less the message is already out there and fully transparent
based on the previous posts.........

Was beginning to wonder, given the apparent turn that the program has taken this season. (I know, likely due to credit card free rooms backlog, but still...)

Lifetime Diamond from Hyatt card purchases?
I see in the latest issue of Inside Flyer that "Hyatt offers lifetime Diamond status , requiring 10 consecutive years as a Gold passport member at any status level, plus one million base points." Can I get that by racking up points through credit card purchases, or do I have to actually stay there?
Since I reached lifetime Plat with AA, I'm looking for other programs that can give me lifetime status.

For example, I have slightly over 1,000,000 total lifetime points but only 300,000 or so in base points since status bonus and other bonus points do not count.
