So I requested the challenge during a stay at a Hyatt... Come to find out the stay didn't count.. Finally I got 12 nights posted (14 total) Just called and found out that a two day stay at a Hyatt only posted one night... (The hotel comped a night due to a problem, and I was informed that I would get two nights credit) Sooooo annoyed lol. I'm checking out of a Hyatt Place tomorrow and into a Hyatt Regency. Was hoping to have the Status.. Seems NOTHING can be done even though all my stays posted.. I'm thinking of canceling, and going with the Ritz which has almost the same price.. It's a shame..

Hope somebody has a data point on this, kicking myself for potentially wasting a night. My situation:
Tonight I checked in to a 4-night stay at a Hyatt Place property. After check in, I remembered about the Quick Qualifying Elite Trial so I called the Gold Password number and enrolled. I asked if my current stay would count towards the 12 nights since I had already checked in, and the agent on the phone was not certain of the answer. I tried to see if the front desk could "refresh" the check in time for me but they said that there was no way to do so without being charged twice for this first night.
Can anyone confirm whether or not this stay counts since the check in came before I enrolled in the promotion, but the check out date will be after I enrolled.
Would it be necessary for me to check out tomorrow, pay for one night, then check back in and pay for 3 nights and have at least 3/4 nights count towards the 12 night challenge? Any help appreciated!

However if you can check out and check back in, it doesn't hurt anything to try. My thoughts though are that you will get all 4 nights. You will know by the number of 1k points that post to your account after you check out. Please post back with the outcome so others know. Good luck!

Within a few hours of my 12th night stay posting, my status updated. It took an extra day though for the DSUs to get into my account i.e. checked out on Sunday. Was Diamond by mid-afternoon on Monday. Got DSUs sometime on Tuesday.

I think that it might since the stay will be credit after your enroll day but I could be wrong. I don't know that the system will be smart enough to say - "Well they checked in at 4:00 pm but didn't enroll until 7:30 pm so invalid!" It may just be by date. I vaguely recall though some people enrolling for the promotion at check in esp when it use to be required to enroll through the hotel.
However if you can check out and check back in, it doesn't hurt anything to try. My thoughts though are that you will get all 4 nights. You will know by the number of 1k points that post to your account after you check out. Please post back with the outcome so others know. Good luck!

I got the Chase CC a few days before I had my 1st stay = became a Plat. My 1st stay was over a weekend Fri-Sun.Fri morn I called HGP and had the rep sign me up for the Elite Challenge (but was already Plat). That 2 night stay posted and counted towards the 12 nights needed. Waited so as to have a full 60 days to complete it

tried my chance by emailing hyatt today. I'm really hoping they can do that, it's the honeymoon so it'd be great to have the perks!
