It's always hard to know when/if a good promotion is coming back later in the year. I was curious about this as well b/c I had 3 nights at a Hyatt scheduled at the end of July/beginning of August. Not way that I could make this work with this offer OR the 20% back in points. I just decided that I'll take pride in being Diamond by the time my trip occurs in July and if nothing else, enjoy my free breakfast before my daily conference. (I have the cheapest room possible booked due to only thing available with my corporate account and I don't expect any upgrades due to it being a conference hotel that is already sold out online.)

Does this count as your *1 lifetime trial* for Diamond offer? I believe I saw that somewhere for the old Diamond trial ...

I'm hoping that they re-up this promo after June 1, with status lasting through February 2017, because I have several nights for late July early August. But I think we just don't know yet. I'm staying tuned, but I'm also preparing for the possibility that this offer will just be something they do for the beginning of the year for status for that year, and so perhaps the offer will simply go away until January. Either is fine in my case -- while I'd prefer to earn Hyatt Diamond, I can easily switch my July and August nights to SPG to get more credit toward the 50 nights required for suite night upgrade certs.

I was at the top of Starwood's program for many years. It was a good program but Hyatt's is much better.
It's unreasonable to assume that the current Quick Qualifying promo will be replaced with a better one (or with any promo at all) during the last half of the year. If I were in the same boat, i.e. if I needed to stay a dozen nights in the 2nd half of the year, I would probably go for the quick elite qualifying right now. This will provide Diamond status for the rest of the year, and put you well on the way to full Diamond status through Feb 2017. It's a whole lot easier to RE-qualify than to qualify for the first time.

Again, I'm not expecting this will be the case, but hoping.
