I don't really agree.... it's a GP offer, the property is only there to put in the application, they probably have no authority to approve whatsoever. So before staying someone should look for confirmation from GP.
The exact term they are called are Gold Passport Experts. Even in my emails to GP , they themselves suggest GP experts (apart from Email) as your point of contact with GP if you do not have access to GP phone numbers (which most countries don't).
I find your insistence on customers being intimately acquainted with Hyatt's internal divisions and workings perplexing honestly.
Let me just repeat how absurd this sounds:
I was told by both the Front Office Manager (also one of the GP expert at the property) and the Gold Passport Expert of the property (the designated one) that I am enrolled.
They are both Hyatt employees. You then want customers to not only be cognizant of the difference between the various Hyatt internal divisions and to differentiate between Hyatt's various arms but to also differentiate between Gold Passport and its designated reps at properties?
You specifically quoted me saying that Guests cannot be expected to differentiate between GP and its reps. Please explain to me then what difference should I make, whom do *you* speak to at GP that is not a rep?
Even Global contact center doesn't have authority to approve anything (That happens at backend), so are we to consider Global Contact Center unreliable as well? There is no possible intended way for customer to contact members of their back end team, I am sure you know that so I don't understand why you are so stubborn about this?
There is an issue here as big as an elephant which I suspect only you are failing to see.

In an ideal world you are right.... except it isn't. It's like believing everything a FD employee tells you. They should be right, but you will be disappointed in the end.
So yes, you should be able to trust that if you get a message that you are enrolled then you should be. But with every promotion, it's better to have confirmation from the ones making the offer (GP in this case) explicitly stating the date your challenge starts and ends. Don't assume, verify will work best here.
And I've never heard of the term GP rep from a property. Care to share their signature they are using in the e-mail?

Every property has a GP rep, sometimes a couple. They communicated to me that it was done and I was enrolled. Now are you seriously going to press the issue that a customer should be aware of the difference between a GP rep (who we of course know is a property employee and not in the GP department and one who is merely trained to handle all GP queries) and actual direct GP employees?
The exact term they are called are Gold Passport Experts. Even in my emails to GP , they themselves suggest GP experts (apart from Email) as your point of contact with GP if you do not have access to GP phone numbers (which most countries don't).

1.I handed the form to the Hotels`sales department.They (in my case:the assistant night Manager) sent this form with some additional text to the Hyatt GP.
Dear colleagues,
attached you will find the Elite Tier Registration Form for our frequent guest XXXXX to be Diamond Status.
2 days later,my assistant Manager got a reply from HGP and it looked like this:
Dear XXXXX,
Thank you for your message regarding your Hyatt Gold Passport account customer XXXXX. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
As per your request, I have enrolled Mr.XXX Gold Passport account number GXXXXXXXN for ELT15 promotion.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any other assistance. Thank you.
Best Regards,
XCXXX
Hyatt Gold Passport Representative
Global Contact Centre
The assistant night manager forwarded this mail to me and I think that`s it

And that's where the enrollment should come from, GP.... The only improvement I can think of is including and end date for the 12 night period. But I guess that would require some individual calculation and could prove error prone.

I emailed the sales manager at a hotel we've stayed at 3 times in the past few months to ask for a referral. I called it the Quick Qualifying Elite Trial, and asked to be 'referred for enrollment' in it. She got back to me today & said she wasn't aware this promotion had started again, and gave me a number to call, which I'm guessing is just the GP line that will tell me I'm not eligible.
I saw a couple posts in this thread where people say they 'explained the promotion' or sent a screenshot of instructions from Hyatt Concierge. Can someone tell me how I should explain it, or who to contact to get the specific instructions? I wasn't sure if people meant the concierge on here, @HyattConcierge on Twitter, or something else. Thanks for the help!

I usually send a tweet to @HyattConcierge telling them I am sending them a DM (direct message) and communicate through DM.
I had to explain it to the hotel referring me but once I forwarded them the info from @HyattConcierge, it all fell into place.

Yes, contact @HyattConcierge on Twitter and ask what a hotel needs to do to refer you to the Quick Qualifying Elite Trial - or some posts above call it the Hyatt Gold Passport Elite Tier Offer. You should get an email notifying you of a response on Twitter - you can forward that email or take a screen shot of the @HyattConcierge Twitter response, send that to your hotel general manager or sales manager so they will know how to proceed.

I'm assuming others got more detailed info than that? I already knew there was a form for them to fill out, but assumed I would need to tell the Sales Director a little more than just 'there's a form you fill out.' Thanks for the help!

Thanks. I tweeted @HyattConcierge (couldn't DM since they're not following me) and asked, & they replied with, "There is a form they need to fax to us." Gee, thanks for the helpful response. So I tweeted again & said,"Thanks. Do you have any more information? The hotel I contacted said they weren't familiar with this promotion." They then replied back & said, "Not at this time. They can contact Gold Passport support if they are unfamiliar, but they have been provided a form to fill out."

Did you get your Elite Qualifying challenge figured out?
You may want to email [email protected] -- they are who signed me up after the Vancouver Hyatt Regency told me to contact them.
You can read my experience here: http://singleflyer.com/2015/03/14/hy...ond-challenge/ I have screen shots of the emails I received if that helps.
Let me know if you have any questions about it. Good luck!

The actual official name is “Elite Tier Offer” so don't mention quick qualifying or anything that might confuse them. They often have multiple promos running (some geared towards members who narrowly missed being Diamond last year whereas ELT15 is for people starting from scratch)
Hyatt CSRs can access it from HGP tools screen. Ask them to log in, select 'Member Enrollment' then under 'Source Code' they need to select “ELT15″ from the drop down menu.
I think I read this some months ago in comments section of Viewfromthewing or another BoardingArena forum.
Code ELT15 should resonate with them if they have GP experts/reps on property (we seem to have them in SWA region, not sure there)
If there is some way for me to attach the form here so that you can show the property, let me know

Titled my email " Elite Tier Offer 2015" to [email protected]
"I would like to be enrolled in this offer. I tried enrolling through one of my upcoming hotels and they referred me back to the HGP email address.
Account # XX"
Received a reply within 24 hours stating I was enrolled.
Key seems to be using the correct language.
