But if you're suggesting that top tier with IHG (which I have) equates to the anything near the same benefits as Hyatt, I've got an even better deal for you - Best Western has 'status match, no catch'. I'm a Best Western Diamond through status match. Both IHG and Best Western have very few extra perks associated with top tier vs bottom tier.

Because platinum is NOT IHG top tier. RA is.

Maybe you are unaware that the website with a domain of "hyatt.com" still displays the offer. How is that a "retraction"?
Oh, I get it, all people in the world are required to not only read FlyerTalk, they must follow this particular thread, and also, read every single post to find a single post from Hyatt.
Ok, got it.

antonius66, please check this. Clearly shows Platinum Elite as IHG Rewards Club top Tier.
Royal Ambassador is a different program.

1) A person receiving this offer could reasonably assume it was valid.
therefore
2) Some people received an email with this offer
3) Some of those people applied for the offer
Conclusion,
For those people who received this offer and applied, they should have every reason, legally and ethically, to receive what is a completely reasonable offer.

I'll accept this thinly veiled personal attack to mean that you realize you were wrong and are lashing out to protect your ego.

Does/Did Hyatt "sell" Diamond status ?
I am quite sure Amex Centurion members in some countries have/had Hyatt Diamond Status (some had SPG Plat too).
Here is the thread on FT
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...ion-hyatt.html
This was by virtue of Hyatt selling such status to Centurion. Is that right?
Is that done still?

iflyjetz, OK, so then you seem to agree

Except that those that received the offer very quickly received an apology email stating that the original email was incorrect.

I think that there are battles worth fighting and ones not worth fighting. To fight this would likely lead to a Pyrrhic victory. Don Quixote comes to mind.

Especially when the issuer can cancel the card unilaterally for nearly whatever reason they choose. You'd then be welcome to reapply under the new correct terms of the card at the time of reapplication.
