Another datapoint:
Called three more times using the phrase: "2015 Hyatt Gold Passport Quick Qualify Offer". The first agent seemed fairly helpful and placed me on hold to check on the detail. Unfortunately the call dropped.
The second & third agent, after checking, mentioned a slightly different name for the promotion and claimed that they were the same. They basically said the same "you have to be existing plat to qualify"

I'm confused why you continue to ask for something to which you're not entitled.

FYI, I just emailed the hotel I had an upcoming stay at and asked if they would enroll me. They sent me the form, I filled it out and sent it to HGP. Pretty easy, but no major benefits for someone that is already Platinum until I get to the 12 stays. I will just get the 1K bonus on each of the first 6 stays.

I think either works. The trial says you must sign up by 5/31, so it looks like it is only for the first half of the year. Some places might handle it differently too. It might help to wait another few weeks until more places understand the program as well.

I am sorry for the confusion, this form is for hotel use only. Our associates will not be able to process forms received from the members, as we may only use those forms submitted by a hotel directly

What a mess. They really should have thought this one through better.
I suspect the confusion around this will continue for quite some time yet.

So from this article:
http://viewfromthewing.boardingarea....allenge-offer/
But, if the vast majority of people were just using the challenge to leech temporary Diamond benefits, then a fast track offer that does not provide those benefits up front would not be of interest to the leechers. So why would the new offer need to be limited?
http://viewfromthewing.boardingarea....allenge-offer/
- They eliminated the tier matching, and the status challenge that gave immediate temporary diamond status, because only a small percentage of people went on to maintain the status.
- Hyatt doesn’t currently have a way to offer their top tier without also giving out confirmed suite upgrades
- The new offer, at this point, really is meant to be limited and a sales tool.

I did the challenge match, made Diamond, and have been diamond since. Couldn't be happier and I'm sure Hyatt is happy to have my business.

@Gold Passport Concierge,
I have the opportunity to stay 29-34 days at Hyatt over the next 45 days, but I am hesitant to book stays at Hyatt unless I can confirm I will be offered this promotion. Can I proactively call a hotel and ask them to refer me, so that way my stays at the hotel "really count"?
I am afraid that Hyatt just doesn't have enough coverage to always fill my hotel needs. E.G. East Pittsburgh, I have to spend 7 weeks @ a IHG hotel, because no SPG/Hyatt brand exists over there. And I am always afraid of starting to try and acquire diamond status, just because, what if my employer sends me to one of the many spots Hyatt has no hotels to pick from? And I end up with 43....47 nights or something? Would really bum me out.

This is really confusing. I have a lot of stays in China and would really like to try Hyatt this year, but not if I have to start over again with status. If this will eventually become a real offer, I hope they make it a simple web registration, and if not real, they will lose customers that will only consider switching with a status match.
